Lint

Overview

The 'one button to run whatever lint the repo configured'. Useful in a code-quality loop where the agent's job is to leave the tree cleaner than it found it.

How it works

Detection order: ESLint config → Ruff → Flake8 → Pylint → golangci-lint → clippy → Rubocop → Checkstyle. Output capped at 50 KB; default timeout 180s. fix=true escalates to WORKSPACE_WRITE permission semantically.

Example

When a user asks:

Lint the src/ tree and fix what you can.

the agent calls the tool:

lint(fix=true)

and gets back: ruff: 6 issues fixed, 1 remaining (E501 line too long at src/api/handlers.py:142)

What it's good for

Real scenarios where agents put this tool to work.
