Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 3, Documentation: 8, Utility: 5)

An ESLint plugin that detects and automatically replaces Unicode em dashes (U+2014) with regular hyphens in code, comments, and strings. It's interesting because it addresses a specific, modern pain point of LLM-generated code and document editor copy-paste contamination, enforcing ASCII consistency with minimal configuration.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, full-stack devs
