As mentioned before (see Overview), the first stage of the Declt
pipeline, called the “assessment” stage, loads the library, and then
introspects the Lisp environment in order to extract the pertinent
information.
The assessment part of Declt is provided as a separate system called
‘net.didierverna.declt.assess’, which you may load individually
(Declt’s main system depends on it). It also comes in a separate
package called ‘net.didierverna.declt.assess’ (imported by
Declt’s main package).
In order to assess a library, use the assess function.

SYSTEM-NAME.
SYSTEM-NAME is an ASDF system designator.
The complete list of keyword arguments, also recognized by the global
Declt function, is described in Assessment Options. This
function returns an instance of the report class. The following
sections provide additional information on the assessment’s
operation, and some details on the report class.
