# Repository stack detection

On every analysis of your repository's default branch, Codacy detects your repository's stack: its languages, frameworks, and libraries. Codacy uses this stack to make code pattern configuration relevant to what your repository actually contains, rather than to its languages alone.

## Where you'll see it

- **Code patterns page:** a pattern whose framework isn't part of your repository's stack shows a warning icon next to its name. Hovering it explains why, for example: *"React wasn't detected in this repository. This pattern may report false positives."* A **Stack compatible** filter lets you show only patterns that match your stack.

- **Issues page:** an issue raised by a pattern outside your stack shows a banner:

> **React wasn't detected in this repository**
>
> This pattern only applies to React code, so its results here are likely false positives. **Disable pattern** or **Give us feedback**

- **Coding standards:** when choosing which repositories a coding standard applies to, you can filter the repository list by **Stack**.

!!! note
Stack detection is advisory. Codacy doesn't automatically enable or disable code patterns based on your repository's stack — you still apply changes yourself, [manually](configuring-code-patterns.md) or with [auto-configuration](configuring-code-patterns.md#auto-configuring-your-repository).
