Automated Metadata Quality Report from CodeMetaSoft #4

@codemetasoft-bot

Description

@codemetasoft-bot
Hi maintainers,

Your repository is part of our metadata quality improvement initiative. We've automatically analyzed your repository's metadata and discovered some issues that could be fixed.

This automated issue includes:

  • Detected metadata pitfalls and warnings
  • Suggestions for fixing each issue

Context

This analysis is performed by the CodeMetaSoft project to help improve research software quality.

This is a first initiative aimed at identifying and reporting metadata quality issues across research software repositories.
At this stage, we only provide diagnostics and recommendations.
In future iterations, we plan to propose automated fixes for the detected issues to further simplify the improvement process and reduce manual effort.

Each pitfall and warning is identified by a unique code (e.g. P001 for pitfalls, W004 for warnings) that corresponds to specific metadata quality issues.
You can find more details about these checks and how to address them in the RSMetacheck catalog.

Metadata Quality Report

Repository: https://github.com/SoftwareUnderstanding/auto-papers-with-artifacts
Analysis Date: 2026-03-05
sw-metadata-bot version: 0.1.4
RSMetacheck version: 0.2.0

🔴 Pitfalls (1)

P002

Evidence: P002 detected: LICENSE file contains unreplaced template placeholders

Suggestion: Update the copyright section with accurate names, organizations, and the current year. Personalizing this section ensures clarity and legal accuracy.

⚠️ Warnings (5)

W001

Evidence: W001 detected: package.json contains software requirements without versions: Navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies: bash cd auto-papers-with-artifacts npm install

Suggestion: Add version numbers to your dependencies. This provides stability for users and allows reproducibility across different environments.

W002

Evidence: W002 detected: codemeta.json dateModified '2025-05-15T00:00:00' is outdated compared to repository date '2026-02-16T11:23:50'

Suggestion: The data in the metadata file should be updated to be aligned with the date of the latest release. Automating this synchronization as part of your release process is highly recommended.

W003

Evidence: W003 detected: Repository has multiple licenses but codemeta.json only lists one. Found in: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SoftwareUnderstanding/auto-papers-with-artifacts/main/README.md

Suggestion: Make sure you are using the correct licenses. This avoids confusion about terms of use and ensures full transparency.

W004

Evidence: W004 detected: codemeta.json Programming languages without versions: TypeScript, JavaScript

Suggestion: Include version numbers for each programming language used. Defining these helps ensure reproducibility and compatibility across systems.

W005

Evidence: W005 detected: codemeta.json Multiple requirements written as single string: 'Navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies: bash cd auto-papers-with-artifacts npm install '

Suggestion: Rewrite your dependencies as a proper list, with each item separated and preferably with their versions. This makes them easier to parse for metadata systems.
