# Instant scans on scanaislop.com

> Scan a public GitHub repository from the browser by swapping github.com for scanaislop.com, with no install or account required.

Instant scan is the hosted version of `aislop scan` for public GitHub repositories. It runs the same deterministic engines against the repository default branch and displays the score, top findings, and badge snippet in the browser.

## URL shortcut

Replace `github.com` with `scanaislop.com` in a public repository URL:

```text theme={null}
github.com/<owner>/<repo> -> scanaislop.com/<owner>/<repo>
```

For example:

```text theme={null}
https://github.com/scanaislop/aislop
https://scanaislop.com/scanaislop/aislop
```

No account or local install is required for public repositories.

## What the page shows

* The latest 0-100 score and label.
* Error, warning, fixable, and total finding counts.
* Scan duration and source file count.
* The first findings with rule ID, severity, file, line, and message.
* A copy-ready README badge snippet when public badges are enabled.
* A claim flow for teams that want private scans, branch scans, PR gates, and dashboard history.

## What runs

The hosted scan uses the same engine model as the CLI:

| Engine          | Examples                                                                                    |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Format and lint | Biome, oxlint, ruff, gofmt, clippy, rubocop, php-cs-fixer                                   |
| Code quality    | Function/file size, nesting, params, knip dead-code checks                                  |
| AI slop         | Narrative comments, unsafe casts, swallowed errors, console leftovers, hallucinated imports |
| Security        | Hardcoded secrets, eval, innerHTML, SQL/shell injection, vulnerable dependencies            |

<Note>
  Instant scan is deterministic. It is not an LLM review and it does not generate fixes in the browser.

## Limits

| Limit                    | Behavior                                                             |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Public repositories only | Private repositories require dashboard sign-in and GitHub App access |
| Default branch only      | Sign in to scan branches, PRs, or specific commits                   |
| Repository size cap      | Large repositories may be rejected before clone                      |
| Cached repeat scans      | Recent scans may render from cache before a fresh run is available   |

## When to use it

Use instant scan when you want a fast public score without installing the CLI, or when you want to share a public scan result with another maintainer. Use the CLI or GitHub Action when you need repeatable local output, private repository coverage, or CI gating.
