Agentlint — AI skill for Claude Code

AgentLint

**Guardrails for AI coding agents.** AgentLint checks what your agent is about to do — every file write, edit and shell command — and stops the dangerous parts before they happen: hard-coded secrets, force-pushes to `main`, destructive commands, edits to CI pipelines, risky cloud operations.

It works with **Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Continue, Kimi, Grok**, the **OpenAI Agents SDK**, **MCP** hosts and your own tools. It runs locally, and nothing leaves your machine unless you opt in.

*Real core-rule decisions using a masked synthetic credential. Proposed file writes and commands are evaluated as data, never executed.*

Install

pipx install agentlint            # Python 3.11+; or: uv tool install agentlint
cd your-project
agentlint setup claude            # or: codex, cursor, gemini, continue, kimi, grok

`setup` adds AgentLint hooks to the agent's settings and writes an `agentlint.yml` with packs detected from your project. Restart the agent, make any tool call, and check that it's working:
