AgentLint: Static rule gate for coding agents

Auto-configures lint rules for AI coding agents so generated code passes style and safety checks before commit

Problem

After using AI coding agents, many developers find the generated code messy and full of lint errors that need manual fixing. Projects like gspot that auto-detect languages and frameworks to install linters and agent rules show the demand is real. But existing tools focus on one-time repo-level setup, lacking a lightweight gate for incremental agent output.

Solution

A CLI/CI plugin that, before an agent commits a PR or writes files, detects the languages and frameworks in the diff, applies team-preset lint and safety rules, checks only new code, and returns fix instructions the agent can apply directly. Templates can be exported from any repo and reused in new projects.

Users

Indie developers and small teams using coding agents like Claude Code or Codex who already lint but don't want to maintain agent rules manually

MVP

Only JS/TS and Python; detect changed files via git diff; ship 10 built-in rule templates; output fix prompts pasteable back into the agent; support pre-commit and GitHub Action hooks

Revenue

Open-source core + team rule-template marketplace subscription (per seat), or one-time desktop license

Why now

As coding agents spread, quality gates shift from manual review to automated pre-commit checks; indie developers can build the small connector layer fast
