lintlang-audit skillA
lintlang-audit is agent-read markdown (skill) from hermes-labs-ai/lintlang: Audit a named AI agent config, system prompt, tool definition, or instruction file (YAML, JSON, Markdown, text, or Python) with the released LintLang CLI in GitHub Copilot CLI. Use when the user asks to audit, lint, scan, or review such a file for ambiguous tool descriptions, missing stop conditions, schema mismatches, or embedded prompts. Deterministic static analysis with no model or network call during a scan..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Audit a config or prompt with LintLang
LintLang is a static linter for the natural-language instructions that control
AI agents: system prompts, tool descriptions, and agent configs. It is
zero-LLM — deterministic parsing and structural checks only, no model call, no
telemetry, no network access during a scan
(https://github.com/hermes-labs-ai/lintlang).
Run this skill on request for the file the user names. It reports a scan verdict
and does not rewrite the file or block a tool call.
## What to do
1. **Resolve the target.** Audit the file or files the user named. If no file
was named, ask which one — do not guess, and do not sweep every candidate in
the repository.
LintLang reads `.yaml`, `.yml`, `.json`, `.md`, `.txt`, `.prompt`, and
`.py`. A `.py` file is scanned by AST extraction for embedded prompts and
uncalibrated thresholds (`P1`/`P2`); it is not general Python linting, so do
not offer this skill as one.
2. **Resolve a runner, in this order.** Stop at the first that works.
- `lintlang --version` prints `lintlang 0.7.1` → use `lintlang` for
both the version check and scan.

How to install
mdr add hermes-labs-ai/lintlang/lintlang-audit@git:20260923.6aace2amdr add hermes-labs-ai/lintlang/lintlang-audit@sha256:e64e016543586aedPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
