About lintlang

lintlang lintlang is a static linter for AI agent configs, tool descriptions, and system prompts that runs zero-LLM quality gating in CI. 7 structural detectors (H1–H7), 6 HERM v1.1 scoring dimensions, validated against 28 comparison files. 154 tests (including a CI-mechanical doc-consistency gate), 0 LLM calls per scan, 2ms per file. Reproduce: flags 4-of-4 known-bad samples and passes 1-of-1 clean — same input, same output, every run. AI agent configs fail for language reasons long before they fail for code reasons: vague tool descriptions, missing stop conditions, and schema fields that say nothing useful. catches those language-level failures before they hit CI, runtime, or human review — without calling a model. "My agent picks the wrong tool because the tool descriptions all sound the same." "We only catch prompt and config drift after the agent starts looping." "I want a prompt linter or agent-config linter that runs in CI with no model calls." "Our YAML is valid, but the instructions inside it are still bad." How it differs from LLM-based config review Most agent-config "review" tools call
