# circleci-config-validator
A pure Python 3 (stdlib + PyYAML) validator for `.circleci/config.yml` files covering 22 rules across 5 categories.
## Commands
```
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py <command> [options] FILE
```
| Command | Description |
|------------|--------------------------------------------------------|
| `validate` | Full validation — all 22 rules |
| `check` | Quick syntax + structure check only |
| `jobs` | List all jobs with executor type and step count |
| `graph` | Show workflow dependency graph as text |
## Options
| Option | Description |
|--------------------------|------------------------------------------------|
| `--format text\|json\|summary` | Output format (default: text) |
| `--strict` | Treat warnings as errors (exit 1) |
## Rules
| ID | Category | Sev | Description |
|----|----------|-----|-------------|
| S001 | Structure | E | YAML syntax error |
| S002 | Structure | E | Missing `version` key |
| S003 | Structure | E | Invalid version (must be 2 or 2.1) |
| S004 | Structure | W | Missing `jobs` or `workflows` section |
| S005 | Structure | W | Unknown top-level keys |
| J001 | Jobs | E | Job missing execution environment |
| J002 | Jobs | E | Job missing `steps` |
| J003 | Jobs | W | Empty steps list |
| J004 | Jobs | W | Unknown step name |
| J005 | Jobs | E | `run` step missing `command` |
| W001 | Workflows | E | Workflow references undefined job |
| W002 | Workflows | E | Circular job dependency via `requires` |
| W003 | Workflows | E | `requires` references undefined job |
| W004 | Workflows | W | Empty workflow (no jobs) |
| SEC1 | Security | E | Hardcoded secret in environment variable |
| SEC2 | Security | W | `setup_remote_docker` without version pin |
| SEC3 | Security | W | Deprecated `deploy` step used |
| SEC4 | Security | I | `context` used without branch filters |
| B001 | Best Practices | I | Missing `resource_class` |
| B002 | Best Practices | I | No `working_directory` set |
| B003 | Best Practices | W | `save_cache` without matching `restore_cache` |
| B004 | Best Practices | W | Docker image using `latest` tag |
## Examples
```bash
# Full validation
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py validate .circleci/config.yml
# Quick syntax check
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py check .circleci/config.yml
# JSON output for CI
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py --format json validate .circleci/config.yml
# One-line pass/fail
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py --format summary validate .circleci/config.yml
# Strict mode (warnings = errors)
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py --strict validate .circleci/config.yml
# List jobs
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py jobs .circleci/config.yml
# Dependency graph
python3 scripts/circleci_config_validator.py graph .circleci/config.yml
```
## Exit Codes
- `0` — No errors (warnings may exist)
- `1` — Errors found (or warnings in `--strict` mode)
- `2` — File not found or YAML parse error
## Requirements
- Python 3.7+
- PyYAML (falls back to graceful error if unavailable)

# Browserslist Validator
Validate `.browserslistrc` files and `browserslist` entries in `package.json` for syntax errors, deprecated browsers, redundant queries, and best practices.
## Commands
```bash
# Full validation (all rules)
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py validate .browserslistrc
# Validate browserslist in package.json
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py validate package.json
# Quick syntax-only check
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py check .browserslistrc
# Estimate coverage
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py coverage .browserslistrc
# Explain each query in human-readable form
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py explain .browserslistrc
# JSON output
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py validate .browserslistrc --format json
# One-line PASS/WARN/FAIL summary
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py validate .browserslistrc --format summary
# Strict mode (warnings become errors)
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py validate .browserslistrc --strict
# Target environment
python3 scripts/browserslist_validator.py validate .browserslistrc --env production
```
## Rules (20)
| # | Category | Severity | Rule |
|---|----------|----------|------|
| S1 | Syntax | E | File not found or unreadable |
| S2 | Syntax | E | Empty config (no queries) |
| S3 | Syntax | E | Invalid query syntax / unknown browser name |
| S4 | Syntax | W | Duplicate queries |
| B1 | Browsers | W | Dead/deprecated browser (IE, Blackberry, etc.) |
| B2 | Browsers | W | Browser with <0.01% global usage |
| B3 | Browsers | E | Browser version does not exist (e.g. Chrome 999) |
| B4 | Browsers | E | Unknown browser name |
| Q1 | Queries | W | Redundant query (covered by broader query) |
| Q2 | Queries | W | Conflicting queries (e.g. `> 1%` and `< 0.5%`) |
| Q3 | Queries | E | `not dead` without any positive query |
| Q4 | Queries | W | Empty result after `not` negation |
| C1 | Coverage | W | Very low total coverage (<80%) |
| C2 | Coverage | W | Very high coverage (>99.5%, may include dead browsers) |
| C3 | Coverage | I | No mobile browser coverage hint |
| C4 | Coverage | I | No country-specific override detected |
| P1 | Best Practices | W | IE queries present (recommend dropping IE) |
| P2 | Best Practices | W | Unreasonably old versions (`last 20 versions`) |
| P3 | Best Practices | W | `all` query used (too broad) |
| P4 | Best Practices | W | Version pinning instead of range (`Chrome 90`) |
## Output Formats
- **text** (default): Human-readable with `[E]`/`[W]`/`[I]` severity prefix
- **json**: Machine-readable structured output
- **summary**: Single-line `PASS` / `WARN` / `FAIL`
## Exit Codes
- `0` — No errors
- `1` — Errors found (or warnings in `--strict` mode)
- `2` — File not found or parse error

# Pre-Commit Config Validator
Validate `.pre-commit-config.yaml` files for correctness, completeness, and best practices.
## Commands
```bash
# Full validation (all rules)
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py validate .pre-commit-config.yaml
# Repository/rev validation only
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py repos .pre-commit-config.yaml
# Hook definitions only
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py hooks .pre-commit-config.yaml
# Best practices only
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py lint .pre-commit-config.yaml
# JSON output
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py validate .pre-commit-config.yaml --format json
# Summary only
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py validate .pre-commit-config.yaml --format summary
# Treat warnings as errors
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py validate .pre-commit-config.yaml --strict
# Multiple files
python3 scripts/precommit_validator.py validate file1.yaml file2.yaml
```
## Rules (23)
### Structure (5)
- **S1** Invalid YAML syntax
- **S2** Missing required top-level key `repos`
- **S3** `repos` is not a list
- **S4** Empty `repos` list (warning)
- **S5** Unknown top-level keys (warning; known: repos, default_language_version, default_stages, ci, minimum_pre_commit_version, exclude, fail_fast, files)
### Repository Entries (6)
- **R1** Missing `repo` key in entry
- **R2** Missing `rev` for non-local/non-meta repos
- **R3** Missing or invalid `hooks` list
- **R4** Empty `hooks` list (warning)
- **R5** `rev` using a branch name instead of tag/SHA (warning: main, master, develop, dev, trunk, HEAD)
- **R6** Floating `rev` without pinning (warning: no semver pattern or SHA)
### Hook Definitions (6)
- **H1** Missing `id` in hook
- **H2** Duplicate hook IDs within the same repo (warning)
- **H3** Unknown hook keys (warning; known: id, name, entry, language, files, exclude, types, types_or, stages, additional_dependencies, args, always_run, pass_filenames, require_serial, minimum_pre_commit_version, verbose, log_file, description)
- **H4** Invalid `stages` values (known: commit, merge-commit, push, prepare-commit-msg, commit-msg, post-checkout, post-commit, post-merge, post-rewrite, manual, pre-push, pre-rebase, pre-merge-commit)
- **H5** `args` is not a list
- **H6** `additional_dependencies` is not a list
### Local Hooks (3)
- **L1** Local hook missing `entry` (required for repo: local)
- **L2** Local hook missing `language`
- **L3** Invalid `language` value (warning; known: python, node, ruby, rust, golang, docker, docker_image, dotnet, lua, perl, r, swift, system, pygrep, script, fail)
### Best Practices (3)
- **B1** repo: meta without check-hooks-apply or check-useless-excludes (warning)
- **B2** Rev does not match semver or SHA pattern (warning)
- **B3** Duplicate repo URLs (warning)
- **B4** `fail_fast: true` may hide issues (info)
## Output Formats
- **text** (default): Human-readable with severity icons and rule codes
- **json**: Machine-readable with file, diagnostics array, and counts
- **summary**: One-line counts by severity
## Exit Codes
- 0: No issues (or warnings/info only without --strict)
- 1: Errors found (or warnings with --strict)
- 2: Parse error or file not found

Validate devcontainer.json files for syntax, structure, features, ports, lifecycle scripts, customizations, and security best practices in VS Code Dev Contai...
# devcontainer-validator
Validate `devcontainer.json` files for VS Code Dev Containers, GitHub Codespaces, and DevPod.
## What it does
Checks your `devcontainer.json` (JSONC — comments and trailing commas supported) for common mistakes across six areas:
- **Structure** — required fields, conflicts between image/dockerFile/dockerComposeFile, unknown keys
- **Features** — OCI reference format, duplicates, empty options
- **Ports & networking** — forwardPorts format, port ranges, portsAttributes consistency
- **Lifecycle scripts** — command types, empty commands, shell injection patterns
- **Customizations** — VS Code extensions format, settings type, extension ID validation
- **Best practices** — remoteUser, privileged mode, workspaceFolder, dangerous capabilities
### Rules (24+)
| Category | Rules | Examples |
|----------|-------|---------|
| Structure (6) | Invalid JSONC syntax, missing image source, unknown top-level keys, empty name, image+dockerFile conflict, dockerFile+compose conflict | `"image": "...", "dockerFile": "..."` both set |
| Features (4) | Invalid features format, feature ID not valid OCI ref, empty feature options, duplicate features | `"features": ["go"]` (should be object) |
| Ports & networking (4) | forwardPorts not array, invalid port numbers, port out of range, portsAttributes referencing unlisted ports | `"forwardPorts": [99999]` |
| Lifecycle scripts (4) | Invalid command type, empty commands, shell injection patterns, onCreateCommand usage hints | `"postCreateCommand": ""` |
| Customizations (3) | extensions not array of strings, invalid extension ID format, settings not object | `"extensions": [123]` |
| Best practices (3+) | Missing remoteUser (root warning), privileged: true, missing workspaceFolder, dangerous capAdd entries | `"capAdd": ["SYS_ADMIN"]` |
### Output formats
- **text** — human-readable with severity tags ([E] [W] [I])
- **json** — structured with summary counts
- **summary** — one-line PASS/WARN/FAIL
### Exit codes
- `0` — no errors (warnings/info allowed)
- `1` — errors found (or `--strict` with any issue)
- `2` — file not found or parse error
## Commands
### validate
Full validation of all rules.
```bash
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py validate devcontainer.json
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py validate --format json .devcontainer/devcontainer.json
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py validate --strict devcontainer.json
```
### structure
Validate only structure rules (required fields, conflicts, unknown keys).
```bash
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py structure devcontainer.json
```
### features
Validate only the features section.
```bash
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py features devcontainer.json
```
### security
Validate only security-related rules (privileged, capAdd, shell injection, remoteUser).
```bash
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py security --strict devcontainer.json
```
## Options
| Option | Values | Default | Description |
|--------|--------|---------|-------------|
| `--format` | text, json, summary | text | Output format |
| `--min-severity` | error, warning, info | info | Filter by minimum severity |
| `--strict` | flag | off | Exit 1 on any issue |
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+ (pure stdlib, no dependencies)
## Examples
```bash
# Quick check
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py validate devcontainer.json
# CI pipeline
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py validate --strict --format summary devcontainer.json
# Security audit only
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py security --format json devcontainer.json
# Filter noise
python3 scripts/devcontainer_validator.py validate --min-severity warning devcontainer.json
```

Validate Stylelint config files for errors, deprecated rules, config structure, plugins, extends, and overrides, outputting text or JSON results.
# stylelint-config-validator
Validate Stylelint configuration files for correctness, deprecated rules, and best practices.
## What it does
Checks `.stylelintrc` / `.stylelintrc.json` / `.stylelintrc.yaml` for:
- **Rules** — unknown rules, deprecated rules (70+ deprecated in Stylelint 16), null values, many disabled rules
- **Config structure** — unknown config keys, extends/plugins arrays, override validation
- **Deprecated rules** — blacklist→disallowed-list renames, removed formatting rules (use Prettier instead)
- **Extends** — duplicate entries, prettier config ordering (must be last)
- **Plugins** — duplicates, plugin-prefixed rules without declared plugins
- **Overrides** — missing files property, deprecated rules in overrides
### Rules (20+)
| Category | Rules | Examples |
|----------|-------|---------|
| Config structure (4) | Unknown keys, invalid types, no rules or extends, invalid defaultSeverity | `customConfig: true` → unknown key |
| Rules validation (5) | Deprecated rules (70+), unknown rules, null values, disabled rule ratio | `indentation: 2` → deprecated in v16 |
| Extends (3) | Duplicate entries, non-array type, prettier ordering | prettier before standard → wrong order |
| Plugins (3) | Duplicate plugins, non-array type, plugin rules without plugins | `scss/no-dollar-variables` without plugin |
| Overrides (3) | Non-array type, missing files, deprecated rules in overrides | Override without `files` property |
| Ignore files (1) | Catch-all patterns | `ignoreFiles: "*"` matches everything |
### Output formats
- **text** — human-readable with severity icons (❌ ⚠️ ℹ️)
- **json** — structured with summary counts
- **summary** — one-line PASS/WARN/FAIL
### Exit codes
- `0` — no errors
- `1` — errors found (or `--strict` with any issue)
- `2` — file not found or parse error
## Commands
### lint / validate
Full config validation.
```bash
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py lint .stylelintrc.json
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py validate --format json .stylelintrc
```
### rules
Check rules only (deprecated, unknown, conflicts).
```bash
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py rules .stylelintrc.json
```
### deprecated
List only deprecated rules in the config.
```bash
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py deprecated .stylelintrc.json
```
## Options
| Option | Values | Default | Description |
|--------|--------|---------|-------------|
| `--format` | text, json, summary | text | Output format |
| `--min-severity` | error, warning, info | info | Filter by minimum severity |
| `--strict` | flag | off | Exit 1 on any issue |
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- No external dependencies (pure stdlib)
## Examples
```bash
# Quick check
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py lint .stylelintrc.json
# CI pipeline
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py lint --strict --format summary .stylelintrc
# Find deprecated rules to upgrade
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py deprecated .stylelintrc.json
# JSON output for tooling
python3 scripts/stylelint_validator.py validate --format json .stylelintrc.yaml
```

Validate Python project pyproject.toml files against PEP 517/621 rules for project metadata, build system, and tool configurations with detailed reports.
# pyproject-toml-validator
Validate `pyproject.toml` files for Python projects against PEP 517/621 standards.
## What it does
Checks your `pyproject.toml` for common mistakes across three areas:
- **[project]** — name format (PEP 508), version, license (SPDX), classifiers, dependency specs, authors, dynamic fields
- **[build-system]** — requires, build-backend validation, known backends
- **[tool.*]** — ruff, mypy, pytest, black, isort section validation with tool-specific rules
### Rules (30+)
| Category | Rules | Examples |
|----------|-------|---------|
| Project metadata (10) | Missing name/version, invalid name format, unknown fields, malformed requires-python, unknown classifiers, empty authors, name in dynamic | `name = "My Package!"` → invalid PEP 508 name |
| Dependencies (4) | Duplicate deps, unpinned deps, overlapping optional groups | `requests` and `Requests` both listed |
| Build system (4) | Missing requires/build-backend, empty requires, unknown fields | No `[build-system]` table |
| Tool sections (12+) | Ruff select/ignore overlap, mypy type mismatches, black/ruff conflict, isort/ruff conflict, unusual line lengths, invalid target versions | `[tool.ruff.lint] select = ["E501"]` + `ignore = ["E501"]` |
### Output formats
- **text** — human-readable with severity icons (❌ ⚠️ ℹ️)
- **json** — structured with summary counts
- **summary** — one-line PASS/WARN/FAIL
### Exit codes
- `0` — no errors (warnings/info allowed)
- `1` — errors found (or `--strict` with any issue)
- `2` — file not found or parse error
## Commands
### validate
Full validation of all sections.
```bash
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py validate pyproject.toml
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py validate --format json pyproject.toml
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py validate --strict pyproject.toml
```
### project
Validate only the `[project]` table.
```bash
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py project pyproject.toml
```
### build
Validate only `[build-system]`.
```bash
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py build pyproject.toml
```
### tools
Validate only `[tool.*]` sections (ruff, mypy, pytest, black, isort).
```bash
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py tools --min-severity warning pyproject.toml
```
## Options
| Option | Values | Default | Description |
|--------|--------|---------|-------------|
| `--format` | text, json, summary | text | Output format |
| `--min-severity` | error, warning, info | info | Filter by minimum severity |
| `--strict` | flag | off | Exit 1 on any issue |
## Requirements
- Python 3.11+ (uses `tomllib` from stdlib)
- Falls back to built-in simple TOML parser on Python 3.10
## Examples
```bash
# Quick check
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py validate pyproject.toml
# CI pipeline
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py validate --strict --format summary pyproject.toml
# Check only tool configs
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py tools --format json pyproject.toml
# Filter noise
python3 scripts/pyproject_validator.py validate --min-severity warning pyproject.toml
```

description: Lint .sql migration files for common mistakes — missing IF EXISTS guards, UPDATE/DELETE without WHERE, non-idempotent CREATE, missing transaction wrappers, reserved-word identifiers, destructive DDL, and Postgres-specific issues (CREATE INDEX locks, ADD COLUMN NOT NULL without DEFAULT). 17 rules across structure, safety, and style categories. Pure Python stdlib.

# SQL Migration Linter
Rule-based linter for SQL migration files. Catches mistakes that make migrations non-idempotent, destructive, or unsafe under concurrent load. Pure Python stdlib — no dependencies.
Supports dialects: `generic`, `postgres`, `mysql`, `sqlite`.
## Commands
```bash

## Rules (17 total)
### Structure
- `missing-trailing-semicolon` (error) — file does not end with `;`
- `mixed-indentation` (warning) — tabs and spaces mixed in the same line
- `trailing-whitespace` (info)
- `keyword-case-inconsistent` (info) — same keyword appears in mixed case
### DDL safety
- `drop-without-if-exists` (warning) — `DROP TABLE/INDEX/...` without `IF EXISTS`
- `destructive-drop-table` (warning) — `DROP TABLE` flagged for review
- `create-without-if-not-exists` (warning) — `CREATE TABLE/INDEX/...` without `IF NOT EXISTS`
- `create-index-locks-table` (warning, postgres) — `CREATE INDEX` without `CONCURRENTLY`
- `add-column-not-null-no-default` (error, postgres) — `ADD COLUMN ... NOT NULL` without `DEFAULT`
- `reserved-word-identifier` (warning) — identifier matches a SQL reserved word (e.g. `user`, `order`)
### DML safety
- `update-without-where` (error)
- `delete-without-where` (error)
- `truncate-is-destructive` (warning)
- `select-star` (info) — `SELECT *` in migrations
- `insert-without-conflict-handling` (info) — `INSERT` without `ON CONFLICT` / `ON DUPLICATE KEY`
### Transactions
- `missing-transaction` (warning) — 2+ DDL statements without explicit `BEGIN`/`COMMIT`
- `begin-without-commit` (error)
## Output formats
- **text** (default) — grouped by file, `line:severity: [rule] message`, with totals
- **json** — array of `{file, line, rule, severity, message}` objects
- **summary** — counts per severity + top 10 rules by frequency
## Exit codes (CI-friendly)
- `0` — clean (or only `info` below min-severity)
- `1` — warnings present, no errors
- `2` — errors present
## Examples
```bash
# Pre-commit hook — fail on any warning or error
python3 scripts/sql_migration_linter.py lint migrations/ --min-severity warning
# CI gate — fail only on errors
python3 scripts/sql_migration_linter.py lint migrations/ --min-severity error
# Postgres-specific audit
python3 scripts/sql_migration_linter.py lint migrations/ --dialect postgres --format json > report.json
```
## Why this exists
Migrations that look fine locally fail in production because:
- They aren't idempotent (re-run fails)
- They lock large tables (Postgres `CREATE INDEX`, `ADD COLUMN NOT NULL`)
- They mutate every row (`UPDATE` / `DELETE` without `WHERE`)
- They use reserved words as identifiers and break under different parsers
This linter catches those before the PR gets merged.
## Limitations
- Uses regex + statement splitting; not a full SQL parser
- No schema knowledge — cannot check FK targets, column types, etc.
- `keyword-case-inconsistent` is per-statement, not repo-wide
FILE:STATUS.md
# sql-migration-linter — STATUS
**Status:** Built, tested, ready to publish.
- [ ] Published to ClawHub
**Price:** $59
**Category:** Database, migrations, code quality, linters
## Built
- [x] Script: `scripts/sql_migration_linter.py` (pure Python stdlib, ~400 lines)
- [x] SKILL.md with commands, rules, formats, exit codes, examples
- [x] 17 rules across 4 categories (structure, DDL safety, DML safety, transactions)
- [x] Dialect support: generic, postgres, mysql, sqlite
- [x] 3 output formats (text, json, summary)
- [x] CI-friendly exit codes (0/1/2) and --min-severity filter
- [x] Tested with clean and intentionally-broken migration files
## Market fit
- ZERO direct competition on ClawHub for sqlfluff-style SQL linting
- Closest hits are sql-toolkit, sql-formatter — formatters, not linters
- Broad backend audience (every project with a database)
## Next steps
- [ ] Publish (after today's session or next cron)
- [ ] Monitor for install/rating feedback

name: prettierrc-validator
description: Validate and lint Prettier configuration files (.prettierrc, .prettierrc.json, .prettierrc.yaml, .prettierrc.toml, package.json#prettier) for structure, invalid options, deprecated fields, override conflicts, and best practices. 22 rules across 5 categories.
---
# Prettier Config Validator
Validate `.prettierrc` config files for correctness, deprecated options, conflicting overrides, and best practices. Supports JSON, YAML, TOML, and `package.json#prettier` field. JS configs are detected but not statically validated.
## Commands
```bash
# Full lint (all rules)
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py lint .prettierrc.json
# Check enum values, ranges, type conflicts only
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py options .prettierrc.json
# Check deprecated/removed options only
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py deprecated .prettierrc.json
# Validate 'overrides' array only
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py overrides .prettierrc.json
# Validate structure/syntax only
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py validate .prettierrc.json
# JSON output (for CI / tooling)
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py lint .prettierrc.json --format json
# Summary line only
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py lint .prettierrc.json --format summary
```
## Supported files
- `.prettierrc` (JSON or YAML auto-detected)
- `.prettierrc.json` / `.prettierrc.json5`
- `.prettierrc.yaml` / `.prettierrc.yml`
- `.prettierrc.toml`
- `package.json` — validates the `"prettier"` field
- `.prettierrc.js` / `prettier.config.js` — detected but not validated statically
## Rules (22)
### Structure (5)
- Invalid JSON / YAML / TOML syntax
- Unknown top-level options
- Wrong type for option (boolean, int, string, array expected)
- Empty config file
- `package.json` with missing or invalid `prettier` field
### Options (7)
- Invalid enum value (quoteProps, trailingComma, arrowParens, proseWrap, htmlWhitespaceSensitivity, endOfLine, embeddedLanguageFormatting)
- `printWidth` out of reasonable range (< 20 or > 320)
- `tabWidth` invalid (0 or negative, > 16 warning)
- `parser` name not a known built-in parser
- `requirePragma` + `insertPragma` both true (conflict)
- `rangeStart` > `rangeEnd` (inverted range)
- Unknown parser name (plugin-assumed)
### Deprecated (2)
- `jsxBracketSameLine` → use `bracketSameLine` (Prettier 2.4+)
- Removed options (`useFlowParser`, `tabs`) with replacement guidance
### Overrides (5)
- Override missing `files` field
- `files` empty array or wrong type
- Override missing `options` (no effect)
- Unknown option inside override
- Duplicate glob pattern across overrides (precedence bug)
### Best Practices (3)
- Missing `endOfLine` setting (cross-platform advice)
- Missing `trailingComma` (default changed in Prettier v3)
- `printWidth` very short (< 40) — may cause awkward line breaks
- `useTabs: true` without explicit `tabWidth`
- Invalid / empty plugin entries
## Output Formats
- **text** (default): human-readable with severity icons
- **json**: machine-readable list of issues (file, path, rule, severity, message, category)
- **summary**: single line of counts
## Exit Codes
- 0: No errors (warnings/info allowed)
- 1: Errors found
- 2: Invalid input (file not found, unparseable, unsupported format)
## Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- Optional: `PyYAML` (better YAML parsing — falls back to a minimal parser for simple configs)
- Optional: `tomli` (only for Python 3.10 and below; Python 3.11+ has `tomllib` built in)
## Examples
### Broken config
```json
{ "printWidth": "100", "trailingComma": "some", "jsxBracketSameLine": true }
```
```
✗ ERROR wrong-type [printWidth] must be an integer
✗ ERROR invalid-enum-value [trailingComma] invalid value 'some' (valid: all, es5, none)
⚠ WARNING deprecated-option [jsxBracketSameLine] use 'bracketSameLine'
```
### Good CI gate
```bash
python3 scripts/prettierrc_validator.py lint .prettierrc.json --format summary
# exit 1 on any error — fails the CI step
```

# Terraform Module Linter
Lint Terraform `.tf` files and modules for structure, naming conventions, security issues, and best practices.
## Commands
```bash
# Lint a Terraform directory (all rules)
python3 scripts/terraform_module_linter.py lint path/to/module/
# Check security issues only
python3 scripts/terraform_module_linter.py security path/to/module/
# Check naming conventions
python3 scripts/terraform_module_linter.py naming path/to/module/
# Validate module structure
python3 scripts/terraform_module_linter.py validate path/to/module/
# Lint a single file
python3 scripts/terraform_module_linter.py lint path/to/main.tf
# JSON output
python3 scripts/terraform_module_linter.py lint path/to/module/ --format json
# Summary only
python3 scripts/terraform_module_linter.py lint path/to/module/ --format summary
```
## Rules (24)
### Structure (6)
- Missing main.tf, variables.tf, or outputs.tf
- Missing terraform block with required_version
- Missing required_providers block
- Empty variable/output blocks
- Unused variables (declared but not referenced)
- Missing variable descriptions
### Naming (6)
- Resource names must be snake_case
- Variable names must be snake_case
- Output names must be snake_case
- Module names must be snake_case
- Local names must be snake_case
- Data source names must be snake_case
### Security (6)
- Hardcoded credentials/secrets in values
- Overly permissive IAM policies (*)
- Missing encryption configuration
- Public access enabled (public_access, publicly_accessible)
- Hardcoded IP addresses (0.0.0.0/0)
- Sensitive variables without sensitive flag
### Best Practices (6)
- Missing variable type constraints
- Missing variable default values
- Missing output descriptions
- Using deprecated resource attributes
- Missing lifecycle blocks for stateful resources
- Missing tags on taggable resources
## Output Formats
- **text** (default): Human-readable with colors and severity icons
- **json**: Machine-readable with file, line, rule, severity, message
- **summary**: Counts by severity only
## Exit Codes
- 0: No issues (or warnings only)
- 1: Errors found
- 2: Invalid input

# Biome Config Validator
Validate `biome.json` configuration files for correctness, conflicts, deprecated options, and best practices.
## Commands
```bash
# Validate a biome.json file (all rules)
python3 scripts/biome_config_validator.py lint biome.json
# Check for rule conflicts only
python3 scripts/biome_config_validator.py conflicts biome.json
# Check for deprecated options
python3 scripts/biome_config_validator.py deprecated biome.json
# Validate structure only
python3 scripts/biome_config_validator.py validate biome.json
# JSON output
python3 scripts/biome_config_validator.py lint biome.json --format json
# Summary only
python3 scripts/biome_config_validator.py lint biome.json --format summary
```
## Rules (22)
### Structure (5)
- Invalid JSON syntax
- Unknown top-level keys
- Invalid schema version ($schema URL)
- Missing recommended sections (linter, formatter)
- Invalid file patterns in includes/excludes
### Linting (7)
- Unknown lint rule names
- Rules in wrong category
- Conflicting rules (e.g., useConst vs noConst)
- Disabled recommended rules without justification
- Invalid rule severity values
- Empty rule groups
- Deprecated rule names
### Formatting (5)
- Invalid indent style/width combination
- Conflicting formatter settings
- Line width out of reasonable range
- Invalid quote style values
- Tab width mismatch with indent width
### Best Practices (5)
- Missing VCS integration settings
- Overly broad ignore patterns
- No organizeImports configuration
- Missing JavaScript/TypeScript specific settings
- Extends pointing to non-existent config
## Output Formats
- **text** (default): Human-readable with colors and severity icons
- **json**: Machine-readable with file, rule, severity, message
- **summary**: Counts by severity only
## Exit Codes
- 0: No issues (or warnings only)
- 1: Errors found
- 2: Invalid input

# Protobuf Linter
Lint `.proto` files for style violations, naming issues, breaking changes, and best practices.
## Commands
```bash
# Lint a proto file (all rules)
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py lint path/to/file.proto
# Check naming conventions only
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py naming path/to/file.proto
# Check for breaking changes between two versions
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py breaking path/to/old.proto path/to/new.proto
# Validate syntax and structure
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py validate path/to/file.proto
# Lint a directory recursively
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py lint path/to/protos/ --recursive
# JSON output
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py lint path/to/file.proto --format json
# Summary only
python3 scripts/protobuf_linter.py lint path/to/file.proto --format summary
```
## Rules (24)
### Structure (6)
- Missing syntax declaration
- Missing package declaration
- Empty message/enum/service definitions
- Duplicate field numbers
- Reserved field number conflicts
- Import not found (relative path check)
### Naming (8)
- Message names must be CamelCase
- Enum names must be CamelCase
- Enum values must be UPPER_SNAKE_CASE
- Enum values must be prefixed with enum name
- Field names must be lower_snake_case
- Service names must be CamelCase
- RPC method names must be CamelCase
- Package names must be lower_snake_case with dots
### Compatibility (5)
- Changed field type (breaking)
- Removed field without reserving number (breaking)
- Changed field number (breaking)
- Renamed enum value (breaking)
- Changed RPC request/response type (breaking)
### Best Practices (5)
- Use proto3 syntax (proto2 warning)
- Avoid required fields (proto2)
- Use wrapper types for optional semantics
- Comment coverage (messages/services)
- File should match package name
## Output Formats
- **text** (default): Human-readable with colors and severity icons
- **json**: Machine-readable with file, line, rule, severity, message
- **summary**: Counts by severity only
## Exit Codes
- 0: No issues (or warnings only)
- 1: Errors found
- 2: Invalid input

name: log-analyzer
description: Analyze application logs to produce actionable error digests with pattern detection, severity classification, trend analysis, and remediation recommendations. Supports auto-detection of common log formats including syslog, JSON structured logs, Apache/Nginx access and error logs, Python tracebacks, Node.js errors, Docker logs, and generic timestamped formats. Use when asked to analyze logs, debug errors from log files, find recurring issues in logs, create error reports from log data, investigate production incidents from logs, summarize log output, identify error patterns, check application health from logs, or parse server logs. Triggers on "analyze logs", "check logs", "log errors", "error digest", "parse logs", "log report", "what's failing", "production errors", "log summary", "incident analysis", "error patterns".

# Log Analyzer
Parse application logs into actionable error digests with pattern grouping, severity classification, trend detection, and remediation recommendations.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Analyze a single log file
python3 scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/app.log
# Analyze all logs in a directory
python3 scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/myapp/
# Last 24 hours only, errors and above
python3 scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/app.log --since 24h --severity error
# JSON output for programmatic use
python3 scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/app.log --output json
# Markdown report with trends

## Supported Formats (Auto-Detected)
- **JSON structured** — Bunyan, Winston, Pino, structlog, any `{"level": ..., "msg": ...}` format
- **Syslog** — RFC 3164 (`Mar 28 02:31:00 host service: msg`)
- **Apache/Nginx access** — Combined log format
- **Nginx error** — `2026/03/28 02:31:00 [error] ...`
- **Python tracebacks** — Multi-line traceback collection
- **Docker** — ISO 8601 timestamps with container output
- **Generic timestamped** — `[2026-03-28 02:31:00] LEVEL: message`
Force format with `--format <name>` if auto-detection fails.
## What It Does
1. **Parses** log entries with format auto-detection
2. **Classifies** severity (TRACE → DEBUG → INFO → WARN → ERROR → FATAL)
3. **Normalizes** messages (replaces UUIDs, IPs, timestamps, paths with placeholders)
4. **Groups** similar errors by fingerprint to find recurring patterns
5. **Ranks** by severity and frequency
6. **Detects trends** with `--trends` (hourly frequency buckets)
7. **Recommends fixes** for 15+ known error patterns (OOM, connection refused, disk full, timeouts, SSL issues, rate limits, etc.)
## Options
| Flag | Default | Description |
|------|---------|-------------|
| `--format` | auto | Force log format |
| `--since` | all | Time filter (`1h`, `24h`, `7d`, or ISO date) |
| `--severity` | warn | Minimum severity to report |
| `--top` | 20 | Number of top patterns to show |
| `--output` | text | Output format: text, json, markdown |
| `--trends` | off | Show hourly frequency trends |
| `--ignore` | none | Regex patterns to exclude (repeatable) |
| `-q` | off | Summary only, skip individual entries |
## Exit Codes
- `0` — No errors found
- `1` — Errors found (warn/error level)
- `2` — Fatal/critical entries found
Use in CI/CD pipelines to fail builds on log errors.
## Workflow
### Incident Investigation
1. Run with `--since 1h --severity error --trends` to see recent errors with frequency
2. Review top patterns — the most frequent errors are usually the root cause
3. Check recommendations for known patterns
4. Use `--output json` to feed into monitoring dashboards
### Periodic Health Check
1. Run with `--since 24h --output markdown` for a daily report
2. Compare pattern counts across days to spot trends
3. Set up as cron job for automated daily digests
### Deep Dive
1. Run with `--severity debug` to see full picture
2. Use `--ignore` to filter out known noise
3. Check `references/error-patterns.md` for detailed remediation steps on specific error types
## Error Pattern Reference

FILE:log.md
# log-analyzer — Development Log
## 2026-03-28
### Done
- Built complete log analyzer skill from scratch
- Core script: `scripts/analyze_logs.py` — 500+ lines, pure Python stdlib
- Supports 8+ log formats with auto-detection: JSON, syslog, Apache access, Nginx error, Python traceback, Docker, generic timestamped, unstructured
- 15+ known error patterns with specific remediation (OOM, ECONNREFUSED, timeouts, disk full, SSL, auth failures, rate limits, DNS, segfaults, deadlocks, etc.)
- Message normalization: replaces UUIDs, IPs, timestamps, paths, long strings with placeholders for accurate grouping
- 3 output formats: text (human-readable), JSON (CI/dashboards), markdown (reports)
- CI-friendly exit codes (0=clean, 1=errors, 2=fatal)
- Time filtering (--since), severity filtering, regex ignore patterns, trend detection
- Python traceback multi-line collection with broad exception type matching
- Reference doc: `references/error-patterns.md` — comprehensive error catalog with root causes and fixes
- Tested against 4 log types + real system logs
- Packaged to dist/log-analyzer.skill ✅
### Decisions
- Priced at $69 — mid-range, addresses the #1 enterprise scaling gap (production monitoring)
- Pure Python stdlib — no external dependencies needed
- Auto-detection as default with --format override for edge cases
- 15+ built-in recommendations cover most common production errors
- Focused on "actionable digest" rather than raw log viewing — differentiation from generic log tools

description: Generate XML sitemaps by crawling a website or scanning local files. Auto-discovers pages via link extraction. Supports local HTML/MD file scanning with lastmod dates. Generates robots.txt with sitemap reference. Use when asked to create a sitemap, generate sitemap.xml, crawl a site for pages, create robots.txt, or prepare a site for SEO. Triggers on "sitemap", "sitemap.xml", "crawl site", "site map", "robots.txt", "SEO sitemap".

# Sitemap Generator
Generate XML sitemaps by crawling a live website or scanning local HTML files.
## Crawl a Website
```bash
python3 scripts/sitemap_gen.py https://example.com
```
## Scan Local Files
```bash
python3 scripts/sitemap_gen.py --local ./public --base-url https://example.com
```
## Save to File
```bash
# Save sitemap.xml
python3 scripts/sitemap_gen.py https://example.com --output sitemap.xml
# Save sitemap.xml + robots.txt
python3 scripts/sitemap_gen.py https://example.com --output sitemap.xml --robots
```
## Output Formats
```bash
# XML (default — valid sitemap.xml)
python3 scripts/sitemap_gen.py https://example.com
# Text (human-readable summary + XML)
python3 scripts/sitemap_gen.py https://example.com --format text
# JSON (pages list + XML string)
python3 scripts/sitemap_gen.py https://example.com --format json
```
## Options
| Flag | Default | Description |
|------|---------|-------------|
| `--max-pages` | 500 | Maximum pages to crawl |
| `--timeout` | 10 | Request timeout in seconds |
| `--output` / `-o` | stdout | Save sitemap.xml to file |
| `--robots` | off | Also generate robots.txt |
| `--local` | off | Scan local directory instead of crawling |
| `--base-url` | — | Base URL for local mode (required) |
| `--verbose` / `-v` | off | Show crawl progress |
## Features
- **Crawl mode:** BFS link discovery, same-domain only, deduplication
- **Local mode:** Scan HTML/HTM/MD/PHP files, auto-detect lastmod from file mtime
- **Smart filtering:** Skips images, CSS, JS, PDFs, archives, media files
- **URL normalization:** Removes fragments, normalizes trailing slashes
- **robots.txt generation:** User-agent + Allow + Sitemap reference
- **Valid XML:** Proper XML escaping, sitemaps.org schema
## Requirements
- Python 3.6+
- No external dependencies (stdlib only)
FILE:STATUS.md

# Content Repurposer
Transform any long-form content into platform-optimized outputs. Feed it a URL, text, or document — get back ready-to-post content for multiple platforms.
## Workflow
### 1. Extract Source Content
Determine the source type and extract content:
- **URL** → Use `web_fetch` to extract readable text
- **YouTube URL** → Use youtube-transcript skill if available, otherwise `web_fetch`
- **Pasted text** → Use directly
- **File path** → Read the file (supports .md, .txt, .html, .pdf)
If extraction fails, inform the user and suggest alternatives.
### 2. Analyze Content
Before generating outputs, analyze the source:
1. **Core message** — What is the single main takeaway?
2. **Key points** — List 3-5 supporting points or insights
3. **Quotable lines** — Extract 2-3 memorable phrases or statistics
4. **Target audience** — Infer from tone, vocabulary, and subject matter
5. **Content type** — Tutorial, opinion, news, case study, announcement, story
### 3. Generate Platform Outputs
Generate requested formats (default: all). Each format follows platform-specific rules from `references/platform-guides.md`.
**Available formats:**
- **Twitter/X thread** — 3-10 tweets, hook-first, one idea per tweet
- **Twitter/X single post** — Standalone tweet, max 280 chars
- **LinkedIn post** — Professional tone, 1300 chars max, uses line breaks for readability
- **Instagram caption** — Casual tone, hashtags, emoji-friendly, CTA at end
- **Email newsletter snippet** — 2-3 paragraphs, subject line included
- **Short summary** — 2-3 sentences, platform-agnostic
- **Reddit post** — Title + body, informative tone, no self-promotion feel
- **Hacker News** — Title only (concise, factual), optional top-level comment
### 4. Apply Tone & Style
If user specifies a tone or brand voice, apply it. Otherwise, match the source's tone but optimize for each platform's conventions.
Tone options: professional, casual, witty, authoritative, friendly, provocative, educational.
### 5. Output Format
Present outputs in clear sections:
```
## Source Analysis
- Core message: ...
- Key points: ...
## Twitter/X Thread (N tweets)
🧵 1/ [hook tweet]
2/ [supporting point]
...
## LinkedIn Post
[post content]
## Email Newsletter
Subject: ...
[body]
```
## Customization Options
Users can specify:
- **Platforms** — "just Twitter and LinkedIn"
- **Tone** — "make it casual" / "keep it professional"
- **Audience** — "targeting developers" / "for marketing managers"
- **Length** — "keep the thread short, 3-4 tweets max"
- **CTA** — "include a link to [URL]" / "ask them to subscribe"
- **Hashtags** — "include hashtags" / "no hashtags"
- **Emoji** — "use emojis" / "no emojis"
- **Language** — generate in specified language
## Platform Guides
For detailed platform-specific formatting rules, character limits, and best practices, see `references/platform-guides.md`.
## Tips
- When repurposing tutorials: focus on the "aha moment" or key insight, not the step-by-step
- When repurposing news: lead with impact/consequence, not the event itself
- When repurposing case studies: lead with the result, then the method
- For threads: each tweet should work standalone — readers may see any single tweet
- Always adapt vocabulary and jargon level to the target platform's audience

# Platform-Specific Formatting Guides
## Twitter/X
### Single Post
- **Max:** 280 characters (links count ~23 chars)
- **Hook first:** Lead with the most compelling claim or stat
- **No fluff:** Every word earns its place
- **CTA patterns:** "Bookmark this", "RT if you agree", "What do you think?"
### Thread
- **Format:** Number tweets: "1/", "2/", etc. First tweet gets 🧵 emoji
- **Hook tweet (1/):** Must standalone — it's what gets engagement. Use a bold claim, surprising stat, or provocative question
- **One idea per tweet:** Don't cram. Break naturally
- **Last tweet:** Recap or CTA ("Follow for more", link, ask a question)
- **Length:** 3-10 tweets. 5-7 is the sweet spot
- **Spacing:** Use line breaks between ideas within a tweet for readability
- **No hashtags in threads** unless specifically requested
### Style Notes
- Contractions are fine (don't, it's, you're)
- Numbers > words for stats ("3x faster" not "three times faster")
- Short sentences hit harder
- Em dashes — great for emphasis
## LinkedIn
### Post
- **Max:** 3,000 characters (but aim for 1,000-1,500 for engagement)
- **Hook:** First 2 lines visible before "see more" — make them count
- **Structure:** Short paragraphs (1-2 sentences). Heavy use of line breaks
- **Tone:** Professional but human. Storytelling works well
- **Emoji:** Sparingly — bullet points (→, •) are acceptable
- **Hashtags:** 3-5 at the bottom, relevant to industry
- **CTA:** "Agree? Disagree?", "What's your experience?", "Share this if..."
- **Pattern that works:**
```
[Bold hook statement]
[Context/story — 2-3 short paragraphs]
[Key insight or lesson]
[CTA question]
#relevant #hashtags
```
## Instagram
### Caption
- **Max:** 2,200 characters
- **First line:** Hook (visible in feed before "...more")
- **Tone:** Casual, relatable, personal
- **Emoji:** Yes, but don't overdo it. 1-2 per paragraph
- **Hashtags:** 5-15, mix of popular and niche. Can go in caption or first comment
- **CTA:** "Save this for later 📌", "Tag someone who needs this", "Link in bio"
- **Line breaks:** Use them generously for readability
- **Stories vs Posts:** Captions here are for feed posts
## Email Newsletter
### Format
- **Subject line:** 6-10 words. Specific > vague. Numbers and questions work well
- **Preview text:** First 40-90 chars after subject — treat as second headline
- **Body structure:**
- Opening hook (1-2 sentences — why should they care?)
- Key content (2-3 paragraphs, scannable)
- CTA (clear, single action)
- **Tone:** Conversational, as if writing to one person
- **Links:** Descriptive anchor text ("Read the full guide" not "Click here")
- **Length:** 200-400 words for snippets. Respect inbox time
## Reddit
### Post
- **Title:** Descriptive, not clickbaity. r/subreddit conventions matter
- **Body:** Informative, add value first. Self-promotion = downvotes
- **Tone:** Authentic, not salesy. "I found this interesting" > "Check out our amazing..."
- **Format:** Markdown supported. Use headers, lists, bold for scannability
- **TL;DR:** Include for longer posts
## Hacker News
### Submission
- **Title:** Factual, concise. No emoji, no ALL CAPS, no clickbait
- **Pattern:** "[Thing]: [what it does/why it matters]" or "[Show HN]: [description]"
- **Comment:** If posting your own content, add a substantive first comment explaining context
- **Tone:** Technical, understated. Let the content speak
## General Rules (All Platforms)
1. **Never start with "I"** on Twitter threads — feels self-centered
2. **Adapt formality:** Twitter < Instagram < LinkedIn < Email < HN
3. **One CTA per output** — multiple CTAs = no action
4. **Numbers outperform words** on every platform
5. **Questions drive engagement** — use them as hooks or closers
6. **Avoid AI-sounding language:** "delve", "landscape", "in today's", "here's the thing", "game-changer", "let's dive in"

name: incident-postmortem
description: Generate structured, blame-free incident postmortem reports from logs, timeline data, and incident metadata. Produces root cause analysis, impact assessment, timeline reconstruction, lessons learned, and action items. Supports log parsing (syslog, JSON, Apache/Nginx, Python tracebacks), timeline JSON input, blame-free language checking, and multiple output formats (markdown, HTML, JSON). Use when asked to create a postmortem, write an incident report, document an outage, generate a post-incident review, analyze incident timeline, check postmortem language for blame, create RCA (root cause analysis), or produce an after-action report. Triggers on "postmortem", "incident report", "outage report", "post-incident", "root cause analysis", "RCA", "after-action", "blameless review", "incident review".

# Incident Postmortem
Generate structured, blame-free incident postmortem reports with timeline reconstruction, log analysis, and action item tracking.
## Quick Start
```bash
# Create a postmortem from scratch (fills in template sections)
python3 scripts/generate_postmortem.py --title "Database outage" --severity P1
# Parse logs to auto-extract timeline events
python3 scripts/generate_postmortem.py --title "API latency" --log /var/log/app.log --since 2h
# Load a complete incident from JSON
python3 scripts/generate_postmortem.py --from incident.json --output html -o postmortem.html
# Combine logs + manual timeline
python3 scripts/generate_postmortem.py --title "Deploy failure" --log /var/log/deploy.log --timeline events.json
# Check existing document for blameful language
python3 scripts/generate_postmortem.py --check-blame existing-report.md
```
## Features
1. **Log parsing** — Auto-detects syslog, JSON, Apache/Nginx, Python tracebacks, Docker, generic timestamped formats. Extracts errors, warnings, and notable events into a timeline.
2. **Timeline reconstruction** — Merges log-extracted events with manual timeline JSON. Sorted chronologically with event type labels (detection, action, escalation, resolution).
3. **Blame-free language** — Built-in checker scans for blameful patterns and suggests alternatives. Use `--check-blame` on any document.
4. **Severity classification** — P0 (critical) through P3 (low) with appropriate descriptions.
5. **Multiple outputs** — Markdown (default), HTML (styled), JSON (structured).
6. **CI-friendly exit codes** — 0 (clean), 1 (errors found), 2 (critical severity).
7. **Template sections** — Summary, impact, timeline, root cause, detection, resolution, lessons learned, action items.
## Options
| Flag | Default | Description |
|------|---------|-------------|
| `--title` | required | Incident title |
| `--severity` | P2 | P0, P1, P2, or P3 |
| `--date` | today | Incident date |
| `--duration` | TBD | How long it lasted |
| `--summary` | — | Brief summary text |
| `--log` | — | Log file path (repeatable) |
| `--since` | all | Time filter for logs (1h, 24h, 7d) |
| `--timeline` | — | Timeline JSON file |
| `--from` | — | Load full incident from JSON |
| `--output` | markdown | Output format: markdown, html, json |
| `-o` | stdout | Output file path |
| `--check-blame` | — | Check file for blameful language |
## Workflow
### After an Incident
1. Gather logs: `--log /var/log/app.log --log /var/log/nginx/error.log --since 4h`
2. Generate draft: `python3 scripts/generate_postmortem.py --title "..." --severity P1 --log ... -o draft.md`
3. Fill in template sections (summary, root cause, impact, resolution)
4. Run blame check: `--check-blame draft.md`
5. Add action items and share
### From Structured Data
1. Create `incident.json` with full details (see `references/templates.md` for schema)
2. Generate: `--from incident.json --output html -o postmortem.html`
### Periodic Review
Use JSON output to track action item completion across multiple postmortems.

# Postmortem Templates & Guidelines
## Incident JSON Schema
Use `--from incident.json` to load a complete incident definition:
```json
{
"title": "Database connection pool exhaustion",
"severity": "P1",
"date": "2026-03-28",
"duration": "45 minutes",

"impact": "All API requests returned 503 for 45 minutes. ~12,000 users affected. Estimated revenue impact: $8,500.",
"root_cause": "The payment service v2.3.1 deployed at 14:20 introduced a code path that opened database connections without closing them on error. Under load, this exhausted the 100-connection pool within 15 minutes.",
"detection": "PagerDuty alert fired at 14:35 when API error rate exceeded 50% threshold. Time to detect: 15 minutes.",
"resolution": "1. Rolled back payment service to v2.3.0 at 14:50\n2. Manually cleared stale connections\n3. Database recovered at 15:05",

],
"lessons_learned": [
"Connection pool monitoring was not alerting on utilization, only on total failures",
"Rollback process took 12 minutes — should be automated",
"The leak was caught in code review but not flagged as blocking"
],
"action_items": [
{"action": "Add connection pool utilization alerts at 80% threshold", "owner": "Platform", "priority": "P1", "due": "2026-04-05", "status": "Open"},

## Timeline Event Types
| Type | Meaning | Example |
|------|---------|---------|
| `action` | Something someone did | "Deployed v2.3.1", "Restarted service" |
| `detection` | Issue was noticed | "Alert fired", "Customer reported" |
| `escalation` | Escalated to another team | "Paged database oncall" |
| `communication` | Status update sent | "Posted to #incidents", "Updated status page" |
| `resolution` | Issue resolved | "Service recovered", "Fix deployed" |
## Blame-Free Language Guide
### Principles
1. **Describe system conditions, not human failings** — "The monitoring gap allowed..." not "The engineer failed to..."
2. **Use passive voice for errors** — "The config was deployed without validation" not "They deployed without validating"
3. **Focus on process gaps** — "The review process did not catch..." not "The reviewer missed..."
4. **Assume competence** — People made the best decisions with the information available at the time
### Replacements
| Blameful | Blame-free |
|----------|-----------|
| "Engineer X caused the outage" | "The deployment triggered a failure in..." |
| "Human error" | "A process gap allowed..." |
| "Should have known" | "The system did not surface..." |
| "Failed to check" | "The check was not part of the process" |
| "Careless mistake" | "The existing safeguards did not prevent..." |
| "Forgot to" | "The runbook did not include..." |
### Use `--check-blame` to scan existing documents:
```bash
python3 scripts/generate_postmortem.py --check-blame existing-postmortem.md
```
FILE:scripts/generate_postmortem.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Generate structured incident postmortem reports.

# Composer JSON Validator
Validate and lint PHP Composer `composer.json` files for structure, dependencies, autoload configuration, and best practices.
## Commands
### lint — Run all lint checks
```bash
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py lint composer.json
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py lint composer.json --strict
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py lint composer.json --format json
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py lint composer.json --format markdown
```
### dependencies — Inspect require/require-dev
```bash
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py dependencies composer.json
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py dependencies composer.json --format json
```
### scripts — Inspect scripts section
```bash
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py scripts composer.json
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py scripts composer.json --format markdown
```
### validate — Full validation (structure + lint + summary)
```bash
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py validate composer.json
python3 scripts/composer_json_validator.py validate composer.json --strict --format json
```
## Flags
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--strict` | Exit code 1 on warnings (CI-friendly) |
| `--format text` | Human-readable output (default) |
| `--format json` | Machine-readable JSON |
| `--format markdown` | Markdown report |
## Lint Rules (22 checks)
### Structure (5)
1. Valid JSON syntax
2. Required fields: `name`, `description`, `type`
3. Valid package name format (`vendor/package`)
4. Valid `type` value (`library`, `project`, `metapackage`, `composer-plugin`)
5. `license` field present and valid SPDX identifier
### Dependencies (6)
6. No duplicate packages across `require` and `require-dev`
7. Version constraints use valid operators (`^`, `~`, `>=`, etc.)
8. No dev-only packages in `require` (phpunit, mockery, etc.)
9. No wildcard `*` versions
10. PHP version constraint present in `require`
11. `ext-*` dependencies are explicit (not `*`)
### Autoload (4)
12. PSR-4 autoload defined
13. Namespace ends with `\\` (PSR-4 convention)
14. No duplicate namespaces across autoload entries
15. `autoload-dev` separate from `autoload`
### Best Practices (7)
16. `scripts` section present
17. No `post-install-cmd`/`post-update-cmd` executing arbitrary URLs
18. `config.sort-packages` enabled
19. `minimum-stability` explicit when not `stable`
20. `prefer-stable` set when `minimum-stability` is not `stable`
21. No hardcoded absolute paths in autoload
22. All repository URLs use HTTPS
## Exit Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| 0 | No errors (warnings allowed unless `--strict`) |
| 1 | Errors found (or warnings in `--strict` mode) |
| 2 | Invalid arguments / file not found |
## Example Output
```
composer.json lint results
==========================
[ERROR] name: Package name must match vendor/package format

[WARN] autoload: config.sort-packages not enabled
[INFO] scripts: scripts section present
Summary: 1 error(s), 2 warning(s), 1 info
```

# Maven POM Validator
Validate and lint Maven `pom.xml` files for structural correctness, dependency hygiene, plugin configuration, and best practices.
## Commands
### lint — Full lint pass (all 20+ rules)
```bash
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py lint pom.xml
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py lint pom.xml --strict
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py lint pom.xml --format json
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py lint pom.xml --format markdown
```
### dependencies — Audit dependency declarations
```bash
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py dependencies pom.xml
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py dependencies pom.xml --format json
```
### plugins — Audit plugin declarations
```bash
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py plugins pom.xml
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py plugins pom.xml --format markdown
```
### validate — Quick structural validation only
```bash
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py validate pom.xml
python3 scripts/maven_pom_validator.py validate pom.xml --strict
```
## Flags
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--strict` | Exit code 1 on warnings (CI mode) |
| `--format text` | Human-readable output (default) |
| `--format json` | Machine-readable JSON |
| `--format markdown` | Markdown report |
## Lint Rules
### Structure (5 rules)
1. Valid XML — file must be well-formed XML
2. Required elements — groupId, artifactId, version, modelVersion must be present
3. modelVersion must be "4.0.0"
4. groupId format — must follow reverse-domain convention (e.g. `com.example`)
5. packaging value must be valid (jar, war, pom, ear, rar, maven-plugin)
### Dependencies (6 rules)
6. No duplicate dependencies (same groupId:artifactId)
7. No SNAPSHOT versions in release POMs
8. Version must be defined (not missing)
9. No wildcard/range versions (LATEST, RELEASE, [1.0,))
10. Scope must be valid (compile, test, provided, runtime, system, import)
11. system-scoped deps must have `<systemPath>`
### Plugins (5 rules)
12. Plugin versions must be pinned
13. No duplicate plugins (same groupId:artifactId)
14. Plugin groupId should be specified
15. Known deprecated plugins flagged
16. Configuration elements checked for common issues
### Best Practices (6 rules)
17. Properties used for version management (DRY check)
18. dependencyManagement used in parent POMs
19. UTF-8 encoding specified (project.build.sourceEncoding)
20. Java source/target version set (maven.compiler.source/target or release)
21. No hardcoded absolute paths in configuration
22. SCM section present
## Exit Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| 0 | No errors (warnings OK unless --strict) |
| 1 | Errors found (or warnings with --strict) |
| 2 | Script usage error |

# Helm Chart Linter
A pure Python 3 (stdlib only) linter and validator for Helm chart directories. Checks structure, security, dependencies, and best practices across 22 rules.
## Commands
```
python3 scripts/helm_chart_linter.py <command> <chart-dir> [options]
```
| Command | Description |
|----------------|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| `lint` | Lint chart structure and best practices (all rules) |
| `security` | Run security-focused checks only |
| `dependencies` | Validate Chart.yaml/Chart.lock dependencies |
| `validate` | Full validation: structure + security + dependencies |
## Options
| Option | Description |
|---------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| `--format text\|json\|markdown` | Output format (default: text) |
| `--strict` | Exit 1 on warnings as well as errors (CI mode) |
## Examples
```bash
# Basic lint
python3 scripts/helm_chart_linter.py lint ./my-chart
# Full validation with JSON output
python3 scripts/helm_chart_linter.py validate ./my-chart --format json
# Security audit, strict mode for CI
python3 scripts/helm_chart_linter.py security ./my-chart --strict
# Dependency check with Markdown report
python3 scripts/helm_chart_linter.py dependencies ./my-chart --format markdown
```
## Rules
### Structure (6 rules)
1. `CHART001` — Chart.yaml exists and has required fields (apiVersion, name, version, description)
2. `CHART002` — Version is valid semver
3. `CHART003` — values.yaml exists
4. `CHART004` — templates/ directory exists
5. `CHART005` — NOTES.txt exists in templates/ (warning)
6. `CHART006` — .helmignore exists (warning)
### Security (6 rules)
7. `SEC001` — No hardcoded secrets in values.yaml (passwords, tokens, keys)
8. `SEC002` — No privileged containers (securityContext.privileged: true)
9. `SEC003` — No hostNetwork, hostPID, or hostIPC enabled
10. `SEC004` — Resource limits defined in templates
11. `SEC005` — No runAsRoot without explicit runAsNonRoot
12. `SEC006` — Image tags not "latest"
### Dependencies (4 rules)
13. `DEP001` — Chart.lock present and matches Chart.yaml dependencies
14. `DEP002` — No wildcard version constraints
15. `DEP003` — Repository URLs use HTTPS
16. `DEP004` — No duplicate dependency names
### Best Practices (6 rules)
17. `BP001` — Labels include app.kubernetes.io/name, version, managed-by
18. `BP002` — Liveness and readiness probes defined
19. `BP003` — Service account name configured
20. `BP004` — Namespace not hardcoded in templates
21. `BP005` — No deprecated API versions (extensions/v1beta1, apps/v1beta1, etc.)
22. `BP006` — Values documented with comments
## Exit Codes
| Code | Meaning |
|------|----------------------------------------------|
| `0` | No issues (or only warnings in normal mode) |
| `1` | Errors found (or warnings found in --strict) |
| `2` | Script/usage error |

description: Validate and lint tsconfig.json files for common mistakes, conflicting compiler options, strictness gaps, and best practices. Use when asked to lint, validate, audit, or check TypeScript configuration files. Triggers on "lint tsconfig", "check tsconfig", "validate typescript config", "audit tsconfig.json", "typescript settings".

# TSConfig Validator
Validates `tsconfig.json` files for common mistakes, conflicting options, and best practices.
## Commands
### `lint <file>`
Run all lint rules against a tsconfig.json file.
```bash
python3 scripts/tsconfig_validator.py lint tsconfig.json
python3 scripts/tsconfig_validator.py lint tsconfig.json --strict --format json
```
### `strict <file>`
Check strictness-related options and suggest enabling strict mode.
```bash
python3 scripts/tsconfig_validator.py strict tsconfig.json
```
### `compat <file>`
Check target/module compatibility issues.
```bash
python3 scripts/tsconfig_validator.py compat tsconfig.json
```
### `validate <file>`
Structural validation — valid keys, types, JSON syntax.
```bash
python3 scripts/tsconfig_validator.py validate tsconfig.json
```
## Options
- `--format text|json|markdown` — Output format (default: text)
- `--strict` — Exit 1 on warnings too (not just errors)
## Rules (22)
| # | Rule | Category | Severity |
|---|------|----------|----------|
| 1 | invalid-json | structure | error |
| 2 | unknown-compiler-option | structure | warning |
| 3 | empty-config | structure | warning |
| 4 | missing-include | structure | info |
| 5 | conflicting-include-exclude | structure | warning |
| 6 | strict-not-enabled | strictness | warning |
| 7 | no-implicit-any | strictness | warning |
| 8 | strict-null-checks | strictness | warning |
| 9 | no-unchecked-indexed | strictness | info |
| 10 | no-unused-locals | strictness | info |
| 11 | no-unused-params | strictness | info |
| 12 | outdated-target | compat | warning |
| 13 | module-target-mismatch | compat | warning |
| 14 | jsx-without-react | compat | warning |
| 15 | node-module-resolution | compat | info |
| 16 | es-interop | compat | warning |
| 17 | missing-outdir | best-practices | info |
| 18 | missing-rootdir | best-practices | info |
| 19 | skip-lib-check | best-practices | info |
| 20 | source-map-in-prod | best-practices | info |
| 21 | incremental-not-enabled | best-practices | info |
| 22 | paths-without-baseurl | best-practices | error |
## Exit Codes
- `0` — No issues (or only info-level)
- `1` — Errors or warnings found (with `--strict`)

description: Validate, lint, diff, and inspect TOML configuration files. Use when asked to check TOML syntax, compare TOML configs, show TOML structure, validate pyproject.toml or Cargo.toml, or lint TOML files. Triggers on "TOML", "toml validate", "pyproject.toml", "Cargo.toml", "TOML syntax", "TOML diff", "config file validation".
---
# TOML Validator & Linter
Validate TOML syntax, run lint checks, compare files, and inspect structure. Supports pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, and any TOML config.
## Validate
```bash
# Basic syntax check
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py validate config.toml
# With lint checks (empty values, mixed arrays, etc.)
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py validate --lint pyproject.toml Cargo.toml
```
## Diff Two Files
```bash
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py diff config-prod.toml config-staging.toml
```
## Show Contents / Extract Key
```bash
# Pretty-print entire file
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py show pyproject.toml
# Extract specific key
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py show pyproject.toml --key tool.poetry.version
```
## Type Tree
```bash
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py types Cargo.toml
```
## Output Formats
```bash
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py -f json validate config.toml
python3 scripts/toml_lint.py -f markdown diff a.toml b.toml
```
## Lint Checks
| Check | Level | Description |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| Empty strings | Warning | String values that are blank |
| Empty tables | Warning | Tables with no keys |
| Mixed-type arrays | Warning | Arrays containing different types |
| Empty arrays | Info | Arrays with no elements |
| Spaced keys | Info | Keys containing spaces (valid but unusual) |
| Long strings | Info | String values exceeding 1000 chars |
## Requirements
- Python 3.11+ (has `tomllib` in stdlib)
- Or: `pip install tomli` for Python 3.10 and below
FILE:STATUS.md
# toml-validator — Status
**Status:** Ready
**Price:** $49
**Created:** 2026-04-03
## Tests Passed
- [x] Validate valid TOML files (reports key count)
- [x] Detect invalid TOML syntax
- [x] Lint checks (empty strings, empty tables, mixed arrays)
- [x] Diff two TOML files (added, removed, modified, type changes)
- [x] Show/pretty-print TOML content
- [x] Extract specific keys (--key)
- [x] Type tree display
- [x] Multiple output formats (text, json, markdown)

python3 scripts/systemd-unit-generator.py validate /etc/systemd/system/myapp.service
```
### Lint a unit for best practices
```bash
python3 scripts/systemd-unit-generator.py lint /etc/systemd/system/myapp.service
```
### Use a preset template
```bash
python3 scripts/systemd-unit-generator.py preset nodejs --name myapp --exec "/usr/bin/node /app/server.js"
python3 scripts/systemd-unit-generator.py preset python --name myapi --exec "/app/venv/bin/gunicorn app:app"
python3 scripts/systemd-unit-generator.py preset docker --name webapp --exec "docker-compose up"
```
## Options
- `--name NAME` — Service name (required for generate)
- `--exec CMD` — ExecStart command
- `--user USER` — Run as user
- `--group GROUP` — Run as group
- `--workdir DIR` — Working directory
- `--env KEY=VAL` — Environment variable (repeatable)
- `--restart POLICY` — Restart policy (on-failure, always, no)
- `--type TYPE` — Service type (simple, forking, oneshot, notify)
- `--harden` — Apply security hardening (sandbox, resource limits)
- `--description DESC` — Unit description
- `--after UNIT` — After dependency
- `--wants UNIT` — Wants dependency
- `--oncalendar EXPR` — Timer calendar expression
- `--listen-stream ADDR` — Socket listen address/port
- `--format text|json` — Output format (default: text)
- `--output FILE` — Write to file instead of stdout
## Presets
- `nodejs` — Node.js app with auto-restart, logging, hardening
- `python` — Python/Gunicorn app with venv support
- `docker` — Docker Compose service
- `golang` — Go binary with minimal dependencies
- `cron` — Oneshot + timer for cron-like scheduling
## Security Hardening (--harden)
Adds: ProtectSystem, ProtectHome, PrivateTmp, NoNewPrivileges, CapabilityBoundingSet, SystemCallFilter, RestrictNamespaces, RestrictRealtime, MemoryDenyWriteExecute, ReadWritePaths
## Exit Codes
- 0: Success
- 1: Validation errors found
- 2: Invalid arguments

# SLO/Error Budget Calculator
Calculate uptime targets, allowed downtime, error budgets, and burn rates for SLO/SLA management.
## Error Budget
```bash
# All periods
python3 scripts/slo.py budget 99.9
# Specific periods
python3 scripts/slo.py budget 99.9 month week day
# Named aliases
python3 scripts/slo.py budget three-nines
```
## Burn Rate
```bash
# Consumed 15m downtime in first 15 days of month
python3 scripts/slo.py burn 99.9 15m --period month --elapsed 15d
# Simple: consumed 2h this month
python3 scripts/slo.py burn 99.9 2h
```
## Compare Targets
```bash
python3 scripts/slo.py compare 99 99.9 99.99 99.999 --period month
```
## Observed Uptime
```bash
# From downtime
python3 scripts/slo.py uptime --downtime 45m --period month
# From uptime
python3 scripts/slo.py uptime --uptime-seconds 2589300 --period month
```
## Multi-Window Analysis
```bash
python3 scripts/slo.py multi-window 99.9 month:15m week:3m day:30s
```
## Reference Table
```bash
python3 scripts/slo.py table
python3 scripts/slo.py table --period year
```
## Output Formats
All commands support `--format text|json|markdown`:
```bash
python3 scripts/slo.py budget 99.9 -f json
python3 scripts/slo.py table -f markdown
```
## Duration Syntax
Durations use: `30s`, `5m`, `2h`, `1d`, `2h30m`, `1d12h`. Raw seconds also accepted.
## SLO Aliases
- `99`, `99.9`, `99.95`, `99.99`, `99.999` — direct percentages
- `two-nines`, `three-nines`, `four-nines`, `five-nines` — named aliases
FILE:STATUS.md
# slo-calculator — Status

# Semver Manager
Parse, validate, compare, sort, bump, and filter semantic versions per the semver 2.0.0 spec.
## Validate
```bash
python3 scripts/semver.py validate 1.2.3 v2.0.0-beta.1 invalid
```
## Compare
```bash
python3 scripts/semver.py compare 1.2.3 2.0.0
```
## Sort
```bash
# Oldest first (default)
python3 scripts/semver.py sort 3.0.0 1.2.3 2.0.0-rc.1 2.0.0
# Newest first
python3 scripts/semver.py sort --reverse 3.0.0 1.2.3 2.0.0
```
## Bump
```bash
# Bump patch: 1.2.3 → 1.2.4
python3 scripts/semver.py bump 1.2.3 patch
# Bump minor: 1.2.3 → 1.3.0
python3 scripts/semver.py bump 1.2.3 minor
# Bump major: 1.2.3 → 2.0.0
python3 scripts/semver.py bump 1.2.3 major
# Bump with pre-release tag: 1.2.3 → 1.3.0-beta.0
python3 scripts/semver.py bump 1.2.3 minor --pre beta
# Bump pre-release: 1.3.0-beta.0 → 1.3.0-beta.1
python3 scripts/semver.py bump 1.3.0-beta.0 prerelease
```
## Filter by Constraint
```bash
# Caret (^): compatible versions
python3 scripts/semver.py filter "^1.2.0" 1.2.3 1.3.0 2.0.0 1.1.0
# Tilde (~): same minor
python3 scripts/semver.py filter "~1.2.0" 1.2.3 1.3.0 1.2.0
# Comparison operators
python3 scripts/semver.py filter ">=2.0.0" 1.9.9 2.0.0 2.1.0 3.0.0-alpha
```
## Find Latest
```bash
# Latest overall
python3 scripts/semver.py latest 1.2.3 2.0.0 1.9.0
# Latest matching constraint
python3 scripts/semver.py latest 1.2.3 2.0.0 1.9.0 --constraint "^1.0.0"
```
## Output Formats
```bash
python3 scripts/semver.py -f json validate 1.2.3
python3 scripts/semver.py -f markdown sort 3.0.0 1.2.3 2.0.0
```
## Supported Constraints
| Operator | Meaning | Example |
|----------|---------|---------|
| `^` | Compatible (same leftmost non-zero) | `^1.2.3` matches `1.x.x` |
| `~` | Same major.minor | `~1.2.0` matches `1.2.x` |
| `>=` | Greater or equal | `>=2.0.0` |
| `<=` | Less or equal | `<=3.0.0` |
| `>` | Greater than | `>1.0.0` |
| `<` | Less than | `<2.0.0` |
| `=` | Exact match | `=1.2.3` |
| `!=` | Not equal | `!=1.0.0` |

Validate, lint, and sort Python requirements.txt files for best practices and CI.
---
name: requirements-checker
description: Validate, lint, and sort Python requirements.txt files for best practices and CI.
version: 1.0.0
---
# requirements-checker
Validate, lint, sort, and compare Python `requirements.txt` files. Pure stdlib — no external dependencies required.
## Validate
Check a requirements file for format errors, invalid specifiers, duplicates, and problematic patterns.
```bash
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py validate requirements.txt
# JSON output for automation
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py validate requirements.txt --format json
# Strict mode — exit 1 on any issue (CI)
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py validate requirements.txt --strict
```
## Lint
All validation checks plus best-practice rules: unpinned deps, missing upper bounds, VCS deps, non-alphabetical order, mixed operator styles.
```bash
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py lint requirements.txt
# Markdown output (for PR comments, reports)
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py lint requirements.txt --format markdown
# Strict mode — exit 1 on warnings too
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py lint requirements.txt --strict
# Ignore specific rules
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py lint requirements.txt --ignore unpinned --ignore no-upper-bound
```
## Duplicates
Find packages listed more than once (case-insensitive, PEP 503 normalised).
```bash
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py duplicates requirements.txt
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py duplicates requirements.txt --format json
```
## Sort
Sort requirements alphabetically. By default writes to stdout; use `--write` to update the file in-place.
```bash
# Preview sorted output
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py sort requirements.txt
# Write sorted file in-place
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py sort requirements.txt --write
```
## Compare
Diff two requirements files — shows added, removed, and changed packages with version changes.
```bash
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py compare requirements.txt requirements-new.txt
python3 scripts/requirements-checker.py compare base.txt updated.txt --format markdown
```
## Global Options
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--format text\|json\|markdown` | Output format (default: `text`) |
| `--strict` | Exit code 1 on any issue, including warnings/info (CI mode) |
| `--ignore RULE` | Ignore a named rule; repeatable |
## Validation Checks
| Rule | Severity | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| `invalid-format` | error | Line doesn't match PEP 508 |
| `invalid-specifier` | error | Unknown operator or unparseable version spec |
| `duplicate-package` | error | Same package name appears more than once |
| `editable-install` | warning | `-e` editable installs in production requirements |
| `vcs-dependency` | warning | `git+`, `hg+`, `svn+`, `bzr+` URL dependencies |
| `custom-index-url` | warning | `--index-url` / `--extra-index-url` present |
| `url-dependency` | info | Direct URL dependencies |
| `requirement-include` | info | `-r` nested includes |
| `trailing-whitespace` | info | Line has trailing spaces or tabs |
| `whitespace-only-line` | info | Line contains only whitespace |
| `missing-final-newline` | info | File doesn't end with newline |
## Lint Rules (in addition to validation)
| Rule | Severity | Description |
|------|----------|-------------|
| `unpinned` | warning | Dependency has no version specifier |
| `no-upper-bound` | warning | `>=` used without a `<` / `<=` upper bound |
| `non-alphabetical` | warning | Packages are not in alphabetical order |
| `mixed-operators` | info | File mixes `==` exact pins and `>=` range specifiers |
## Example Output
```
File: requirements.txt
[ERROR] line 4 (duplicate-package) Duplicate package 'requests' (first seen on line 2)
requests==2.31.0
[WARNING] line 7 (no-upper-bound) 'django' uses >= without an upper bound
django>=4.0
[WARNING] line 1 (non-alphabetical) 'zope' is out of alphabetical order
zope==5.0
Summary: 3 issue(s) — 1 error(s), 2 warning(s), 0 info(s)
```
FILE:STATUS.md
# requirements-checker — Status
**Status:** Ready
**Price:** $49
**Created:** 2026-04-09
## Features
- Validate requirements.txt against PEP 508 format rules
- Detect invalid version operators and unparseable specifiers
- Flag duplicate packages (case-insensitive, PEP 503 normalised names)
- Detect editable installs, VCS dependencies, nested `-r` includes
- Detect custom index URLs and URL-only dependencies
- Lint for unpinned dependencies (no version specifier)
- Lint for `>=` without an upper bound (unbounded ranges)
- Lint for non-alphabetical package ordering
- Detect mixed pinning strategies (`==` vs `>=` in same file)
- Sort requirements alphabetically (stdout or in-place `--write`)
- Compare two requirements files — added, removed, changed with version diffs
- Three output formats: `text` (human), `json` (automation/CI), `markdown` (PR comments)
- `--strict` mode exits 1 on any issue for CI pipelines
- `--ignore RULE` to suppress specific rules per project
- Zero external dependencies — pure Python 3 stdlib
