+# BrokenRecord
+
+Provides a rake task for scanning your ActiveRecord models and detecting validation errors.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
+
+    gem 'broken_record'
+
+And then execute:
+
+    $ bundle
+
+Or install it yourself as:
+
+    $ gem install broken_record
+
+## Usage
+
+To scan all records of all models in your project:
+
+    rake broken_record:scan
+
+If you want to scan all records of a specific model (e.g. the User model)
+
+    rake broken_record:scan[User]
+
+## Configuration
+
+BrokenRecord provides a configure method with two options.  Here's an example:
+
+    BrokenRecord.configure do |config|
+        # Skip the Foo and Bar models when scanning.
+        config.classes_to_skip = [Foo, Bar]
+
+        # BrokenRecord will call the block provided in before_scan before scanning
+        # your records.  This is useful for skipping validations you want ignore.
+        config.before_scan do
+            User.skip_callback :validate, :before, :user_must_be_active
+        end
+    end
+
