Discipline for code style and static analysis, adopt the ecosystem's established formatter as the non-negotiable source of truth, enforce it at pre-commit and CI rather than in review, and treat linting (real defects) as a separate concern from formatting (appearance). Use when setting up a new project's tooling, when a code review comment is about whitespace/naming/formatting instead of behavior, or when the user asks how to configure a linter or formatter.

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

# Code Style & Lint Enforcement

Style is not a matter for human debate. A language's established, widely-adopted formatter is the single source of truth for how code looks, enforced automatically before a human ever reads the diff, so no reviewer ever spends attention on brace placement or import order again.

## Phase 1: Adopt the ecosystem's standard, don't invent one

Reach for the tool the language community has already converged on, rather than a project-specific configuration built from scratch:

| Language | Formatter | Linter |
|---|---|---|
| Go | `gofmt` (or `goimports`): not configurable by design | `go vet`, `staticcheck` |
| Rust | `rustfmt` | `clippy` |
| Python | `black` (or `ruff format`) | `ruff` / `flake8`, type-checked with `mypy`/`pyright` |
| JavaScript / TypeScript | `prettier` | `eslint` |
| Java | `google-java-format` | Error Prone, Checkstyle |

Where no single de facto tool dominates, fall back to a named, published style guide (e.g. the Google style guides) rather than an ad hoc house style; a house style is a style nobody outside the project can look up, onboard against, or get tooling support for.

## Phase 2: Prefer opinionated over configurable

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aethrox/doctrine/code-style-lint@sha256:5925238d41c8e47f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260809.5c2aad2, 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.
