Autodetection
ShieldsSectionAutodetect calls findRelevantShields()which checks the full shields catalog against the project's git platform, dependency names, and tech names. Results are filtered throughremoveUselessShields() to eliminate irrelevant badges.
Note
The web app filters the shields catalog to show only GitLab-related shields. The CLI and VS Code extension show the full catalog (~10K badges).
