ANALYSIS MODEL
Two analysis layers.
One clear decision.
Catch syntax errors, find risky or fragile patterns, and get clear guidance for the next revision.
PSRafScan rules
PSRafScan-owned rules inspect defined safety, correctness, portability, and context patterns.
Clear findings
PlainText or JSON results explain what was found, why it matters, and how to improve the script.
INTENDED USE
Review the script for how it will be used.
A PowerShell script that works well as a saved file can fail when pasted into a live terminal. PSRafScan applies the right checks based on intended use.
Ps1File
For source intended to remain a saved .ps1 file.
TerminalPaste
For source intended to be entered directly in a live PowerShell terminal.
REPRESENTATIVE FINDINGS
See what a rule asks you to review.
These examples show how PSRafScan calls attention to hidden errors, destructive file operations, and document markup mixed into executable code.
WarningErrorHandling
SilentErrorAction
Calls attention to -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue when a failure may be hidden.
ErrorFileSystemSafety
RecursiveForceDelete
Calls attention to Remove-Item with both -Recurse and -Force when -WhatIf is absent.
ErrorPasteSafety
MarkdownCodeFence
Finds raw Markdown fence lines that do not belong in executable PowerShell.
GUIDED OR DIRECT
Choose the workflow that fits the review.
Run RSX alone for the guided terminal workflow, or provide an existing path and explicit review settings in one command.
RSX
Choose input, intended use, threshold, report format, and destination through the current guided sequence.
Follow the guided workflow →RSX -Path ./script.ps1 -IntendedUse Ps1File -FailOn Warning
Supply the file, intended use, threshold, and report settings directly for a repeatable review.
Run a scan →Save, scan, revise, compare, and rescan.
Keep the original response, make focused changes, and compare the revision before testing it in an appropriate environment.
