name: run-linters description: Run linters after code changes to verify code quality. Use this skill after completing code modifications to catch and fix any linting issues. allowed-tools: Bash(linters:*), Read, Edit

Run Linters

Execute linters after code changes are complete to ensure code quality and consistency.

When to Use

• After completing a set of code changes (not after each small edit)
• Before creating a commit or PR
• When asked to verify code quality

Step 1: Run Linters

Execute the linters command which auto-detects active linters in the current repository and runs them with proper configurations:

linters

Step 2: Analyze Results

• If no issues: Report success and proceed
• If issues found: Continue to Step 3

Step 3: Fix Issues

For each issue reported:

1. Read the affected file
2. Understand the linting error
3. Fix the issue in the source code using Edit tool
4. Re-run linters to verify the fix

Repeat until all issues are resolved.

Important Rules

• Do NOT run after every small change - wait until a logical set of changes is complete
• Fix all issues before reporting completion
• NEVER modify linter configuration files to suppress or ignore issues
• NEVER add inline disable comments (e.g., // eslint-disable, # noqa, // nolint) to bypass issues
• Always fix the actual code, not the linter rules
• If an issue seems impossible to fix properly, ask the user for guidance

Forbidden Files - NEVER Modify

The following configuration files must NEVER be edited to work around linting issues:

JavaScript/TypeScript:

• .eslintrc, .eslintrc.js, .eslintrc.json, .eslintrc.yml
• .prettierrc, .prettierrc.js, .prettierrc.json
• eslint.config.js, eslint.config.mjs
• tsconfig.json (for strict mode or type checking options)

Python:

• .flake8, setup.cfg (flake8 section)
• pyproject.toml (tool.flake8, tool.pylint, tool.ruff sections)
• .pylintrc, pylintrc
• ruff.toml, .ruff.toml
• mypy.ini, .mypy.ini

Ruby:

• .rubocop.yml, .rubocop_todo.yml

Go:

• .golangci.yml, .golangci.yaml

Rust:

• clippy.toml, .clippy.toml
• rustfmt.toml, .rustfmt.toml

Markdown:

• .markdownlint.json, .markdownlint.yaml, .markdownlint.yml
• .markdownlintrc

General:

• .editorconfig
• Any file that defines linting rules or ignores

Forbidden Patterns - NEVER Use

Do NOT add these patterns to bypass linting:

# JavaScript/TypeScript
/* eslint-disable */
// eslint-disable-line
// eslint-disable-next-line
/* prettier-ignore */
// @ts-ignore
// @ts-nocheck

# Python
# noqa
# type: ignore
# pylint: disable
# ruff: noqa

# Go
//nolint
//nolint:all

# Ruby
# rubocop:disable

# Rust
#[allow(...)]
#![allow(...)]

If you encounter an issue that seems unfixable, explain the problem to the user and ask how they want to proceed.
