Lintrule

Lintrule is a command-line tool that utilizes large language models (LLMs) for conducting code reviews. It enables software developers to enforce policies that a conventional linter can't, and identifies bugs that automated tests might miss. It goes beyond typical 'Looks Good To Me' (LGTM) responses, saving a team's time in collaborative code reviewing. Lintrule allows users to write and configure rules in plain language, which lends reliability and clarity to code review processes. These rules can be used to prevent issues such as logging sensitive customer data that could lead to compliance concerns. The tool operates on code changes by default, and it can be set to check specific file types using a frontmatter include option. The tool also supports running code changes across various environments such as MacOS, Linux, and WSL. Installation involves running a script that can be fetched from the Lintrule website. On average, the time taken for review completion remains constant as Lintrule runs checks in parallel, regardless of the number of rules or files involved.
