I currently have a GitLab pipeline which runs ansible-lint. It looks roughly like this:

ansible-lint ./example --format codeclimate > codeclimate.json || true
ansible-lint ./example

I do this in order to provide both pretty output inside the CI trace if people choose to click this as well as a JSON artefact which I have parsed by GitLab to display in its UI. If I leave one of these options of, usability suffers somewhat (you either get nothing in the UI or if people choose to click through to the trace, it's empty).

Team members have complained that we're wasting time on our big code base because it's scanning things twice.

I've seen that you offer a SARIF option and it looks like when this is selected you perform a regular report and write that file. Would it be possible to offer that for code climate as well? One run with both human-readable and report?
