sickbay trend

Show score history and trends over time. Visualizes how your project's health has changed across recent scans.

Usage

sickbay trend [options]

Options

Flag	Description	Default
-p, --path <path>	Project path to analyze	Current working directory
-n, --last <count>	Number of recent scans to show	20
--package <name>	Scope to a single package (monorepo only)	—
--json	Output trend data as JSON	false

Prerequisites

Trend tracking requires initialization. Run sickbay init first:

sickbay init --path ~/my-project

This creates the .sickbay/ directory with history.json, which stores scan results over time. Each subsequent scan appends an entry to the history.

Examples

View recent trends

sickbay trend --path ~/my-project

Show the last 5 scans

sickbay trend --path ~/my-project --last 5

JSON output

sickbay trend --path ~/my-project --json

Trend for a single monorepo package

sickbay trend --path ~/my-monorepo --package @acme/web-app

What It Shows

The trend command displays:

• Score timeline — overall score for each scan with timestamps
• Direction indicators — arrows showing whether the score is improving or declining
• Category breakdown — per-category scores over time so you can spot which areas are trending up or down

Monorepo Mode

When run from a monorepo root without --package, the trend command shows aggregated trend data across all packages. Use --package to see the trend for a specific package:

sickbay trend --path ~/my-monorepo --package my-lib

Tips

• Run scans regularly (or set up CI) to build up meaningful trend data
• Use --last 5 in CI to check for regressions in recent builds
• Pipe --json output to custom dashboards or reporting tools
