Lintrule

Lintrule is a CLI tool that brings a large language model into your code review workflow. It helps automate repetitive checks while keeping you in control through your own rules and policies.

LLM-assisted code review

Lintrule can task an LLM with reviewing pull requests to spot issues that tests and static analyzers may miss.

• Review PR diffs for potential bugs and security risks
• Flag problems not covered by existing tests or linters
• Reduce shallow “LGTM” reviews without adding team overhead

Rules written in natural language

A core feature of Lintrule is defining review rules in plain human language. You can capture security, compliance (for example, SOC2), code style, and internal standards as Markdown files, then have the LLM apply them automatically to changed code.

• Policy and standards as Markdown-based rules
• Automatic checks against modified code
• Clear signals when changes violate your rules

Setup and integration

Lintrule installs via a single command using a script and supports macOS, Linux, and WSL. It fits into existing CI/CD pipelines and development workflows, complementing your current linters and tests rather than replacing them.
