## What it is
RubyCritic is a Ruby gem that wraps static analysis tools like Reek, Flay, and Flog to generate a quality report of Ruby code. It provides an HTML overview of code smells, complexity metrics, and can compare uncommitted changes against the last commit.

## Use cases
- generate a code quality report for my ruby project
- find code smells in my ruby codebase
- check complexity of ruby methods before merging
- compare uncommitted ruby changes against last commit for quality regressions
- integrate static analysis into a rake task or CI pipeline
- visualize which ruby files have the most smells

## When to choose
- you maintain a Ruby codebase and want aggregated static analysis with an HTML report
- you want to track code quality trends using Git, Mercurial, or Perforce diffs
- you want a unified view over Reek, Flay, and Flog output

## When to avoid
- you need static analysis for languages other than Ruby
- you need runtime profiling or dynamic analysis rather than static analysis
- you need auto-fixing of code smells rather than reporting

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: linter, developer-tools, code-review
- domain: developer-tools, testing, programming-languages
- platform: ruby, cli
- tags: static-analysis, code-quality, ruby-gem, code-smells, metrics
