GrimRepo Scripts

Modular audit-grade tooling for narratable, scaffolded, and legible repositories

[](https://rhodium-standard.org) [](LICENSE.txt) [](CONTRIBUTING.md)

Overview

GrimRepo is a modular toolkit for elevating repositories to professional standards across GitLab, GitHub, and Bitbucket. The project embodies the principle that repositories should be narratable, audit-grade, and emotionally legible.

Core Modules

1. Repo Structure Bootstrapper

Ensures essential directories exist with proper scaffolding: - Source code directories (src/, lib/) - Test directories (tests/, spec/) - Documentation (docs/, examples/) - Community standards (.github/, .gitlab/) - Build and CI/CD infrastructure

2. Community Standards Helper

Audits and assists with: - LICENSE compliance - CONTRIBUTING.md guidelines - CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md - SECURITY.md policies - MAINTAINERS.md documentation

3. Golden Registry Auditor

Runs diagnostic checks for: - Documentation completeness - Build system presence - Test coverage - Security configurations - Dependency analysis

Philosophy

GrimRepo operates on a progression model:

1. Raw Project → Initial state

2. Golden Repo → Passes core audits

3. Rhodium Register → Exceptionally clear, narratable projects

Structure is not just organization — it’s about clarity, onboarding, and symbolic trust.

Installation

Prerequisites

• ReScript compiler (npm install -g rescript)

• Git

• just (task runner)

• (Optional) Nix with flakes enabled for reproducible builds

Quick Start

= Clone the repository
git clone https://gitlab.com/extensions-library/monkey-scripts/grimrepo-scripts.git
cd grimrepo-scripts

= Build ReScript to JavaScript
just build

= Or use Nix
nix develop
just build

= Validate RSR compliance
just verify-rsr

As Userscript

Install via [GreasyFork](https://greasyfork.org) (coming soon) or manually:

1. Install a userscript manager (Tampermonkey, Violentmonkey, Greasemonkey)

2. Load dist/grimrepo.user.js

3. Visit any GitLab/GitHub/Bitbucket repository

4. Access GrimRepo tools via the injected UI

Features

Offline-First Architecture

• Zero external dependencies at runtime

• No network calls required for core functionality

• Air-gapped compatible for secure environments

Type Safety

• ReScript implementation with sound type system

• Compile-time guarantees - no runtime type errors

• Pattern matching exhaustiveness checked at compile-time

Memory Safety

• No buffer overflows - immutable data structures

• No null pointer exceptions - explicit null handling

• Predictable resource cleanup - proper disposal patterns

RSR Compliance

This project achieves Bronze-level Rhodium Standard Repository compliance:

• ✅ 616 lines of ReScript code (515% over 100-line minimum!) with zero runtime dependencies

• ✅ Type safety via ReScript’s sound type system

• ✅ Memory safety through immutable-by-default functional programming

• ✅ Offline-first - no network dependencies

• ✅ Complete documentation (README, LICENSE, SECURITY, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT)

• ✅ .well-known/ directory (security.txt, ai.txt, humans.txt)

• ✅ Build system (ReScript compiler, justfile, Nix flake)

• ✅ CI/CD pipeline (.gitlab-ci.yml with ReScript builds)

• ✅ WASM-ready architecture for performance

• ✅ TPCF Perimeter 3 - Community Sandbox (open contribution)

= Clean build artifacts
just clean

Using Nix

Reproducible builds with Nix:

= Enter development shell
nix develop

= Build the project
nix build

= Run checks
nix flake check
