Ignore Patterns

Tell SlopBuster which files and directories to skip during reviews using glob patterns.

Configuration File

Add an ignore section to your .slopbuster.yaml:

.slopbuster.yaml

ignore:
  - "*.test.ts"          # Test files
  - "*.spec.ts"          # Spec files
  - "*.generated.ts"     # Generated code
  - "node_modules/**"    # Dependencies
  - "dist/**"            # Build output
  - "coverage/**"        # Coverage reports
  - ".next/**"           # Next.js build
  - "migrations/**"      # Database migrations
  - "vendor/**"          # Vendored code

Inline Commands

You can also add ignore patterns directly from a PR comment:
