How it works

Add prose-based linters in three steps

Write engineering invariants in English. IntentLint evaluates them on every pull request and turns high-confidence violations into an ordinary CI check.

1. 1

   Install the GitHub App

   Grant IntentLint access to a repository. It reads pull requests and publishes one check. It does not write to your source.

2. 2

   Write rules in English

   Add a .intentlint.yml with named rules. Each rule is a short description of an invariant your usual linter cannot see.

   - id: jobs/retry-safe-jobs
     description: >
       Background jobs that make external side effects
       must be safe to retry.

3. 3

   Open a pull request

   IntentLint evaluates the diff against those rules and posts a single check. Start in shadow mode, then promote a rule when you trust it. Usually IntentLint checks return within 10 seconds.
