Category: devtools

Tags: linter, repository-hygiene, rust

Score: 8.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 9, Documentation: 9, Utility: 8)

Alint is a fast, language-agnostic linter for enforcing repository structure, file conventions, and content rules using a declarative YAML config. It stands out with its agent-aware output, broad rule catalog (79 kinds), cross-file relational checks, and ability to replace hand-rolled CI validation scripts, filling a clear gap in project hygiene tooling.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, data engineers
