Audit a named AI agent config, system prompt, tool-definition or instruction file (YAML, JSON, Markdown, text, or Python) with the released LintLang CLI, on request. Use when the user asks to audit, lint, scan or review such a file for ambiguous tool descriptions, missing stop conditions, schema/description mismatches, or prompts embedded in Python, and names the file. Deterministic offline static analysis, no model call and no network call. Do not use for general code review, for prose…

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

# 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 when someone asks for an audit. It is not the plugin's
`PostToolUse` hook: that hook is separate, fires by itself after a `Write` or
`Edit`, and checks only the file that was just changed. This skill runs when
asked, on the file the user names, and reports a full verdict. Neither one
rewrites a file or blocks 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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add hermes-labs-ai/lintlang/lintlang-audit@sha256:829ecda22ca26164

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.04de47e, 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.
