Improve Documentation for 'charmcraft help analyze' Command
Metadata
Current evaluation
Request to improve documentation for the charmcraft analyze command. The command exists (analyse.py) with a hidden US-English alias, and docs/reference/analyzers-and-linters.rst covers the checks but not command usage. No maintainer activity in ~13 months.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: No labels, no comments, no maintainer interaction in 994 days — the issue has never been triaged. The underlying request is still valid: docs/reference/analyzers-and-linters.rst documents the linters but not the analyze command's usage (filepath arg, --ignore, --format), and no dedicated command reference page exists. It's a low-complexity doc improvement that remains actionable.
