Set up local development linting by picking the right linters for each file type a project uses, then recording them as required pre-commit checks in AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md and a `make lint` target. Uses the super-linter project as the live source of truth for which linters are current and popular per language. Use this skill whenever the user wants to add, choose, configure, or standardize linters for local development; asks "what linter should I use for X"; wants the agent to lint files…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Super-Linting: local linters for every file type Pick the right linter for each file type a project uses, then make those linters a required step before every commit — written as instructions the agent will follow in the project's agent guide, plus a `make lint` command a human can run. ## How linting gets enforced (default vs opt-in) The **default** enforcement is soft and zero-install: a `## Linting` section in AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md that tells the agent to lint before committing, backed by a `make lint` target. This is enough for most projects and adds no git machinery. A git **pre-commit hook** is a stronger, harder gate (it blocks the actual `git commit`), but it's extra setup the user didn't necessarily ask for. So **do not add a git hook or a `pre-commit`-framework config by default.** After you've written the agent-guide contract, ask the user whether they want it: > "I've set up linting as instructions in your agent guide + `make lint`. Want me to also add a real git pre-commit hook that blocks commits when a linter fails, or is relying on the agent (and `make lint`) enough for you?" …

How to install
mdr add bretfisher/skills/super-linting@sha256:340b7816418b05beThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.e27cb65, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
