About this project
A linter whose rules are written in plain language. Lintus reads a YAML file of rules at the root of your repository. Each rule is a question about a file. For every file a rule applies to, Lintus asks the question to the Jev model as a noul (a true/false judgement with a probability), and reports an offense wherever the answer says so. It runs on the whole tree, on the files changed since a git ref, or on the files staged for a commit, so it fits a CI job as well as a pre-commit hook.
Quoted from the project's README. Read the full README.

Highlights
- Rules declare question, criteria, paths, and thresholds, with offense flags for positively phrased checks.
- Runs over the whole tree, named paths, uncommitted diffs, base-branch diffs, or staged content.
- Text, GitHub Actions annotation, and JSON outputs with per-file probabilities for tuning.
- Credential chain from flag to environment to saved login, with secrets recommended for CI.
Watch out
Each matching rule costs model judgment over full file contents, and phrasing decides what the probability means, so ambiguous questions need explicit criteria before tuning thresholds. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
Reword first. Scores far from the midpoint mean the model is sure of its own reading, so only move the threshold when clean and offending files genuinely overlap around it.
Because every applicable rule ships in one request evaluated in parallel, so two narrow questions give cleaner signals than one broad question mixing unrelated concerns.
The file path plus full content, with large files skipped past a byte limit. A question can therefore reference the file name as well as the code it contains.
Start with the starter config, use the list mode to preview file matching without API calls, then run scoped diffs or staged files before linting the whole tree.
It ships as a single binary with no runtime to install: the install.sh script picks the binary for your machine, checks its checksum and puts it in ~/.local/bin, or you can download a platform archive, or run cargo install lintus with a Rust toolchain.
A run takes the key from --api-key, then the JEV_API_KEY environment variable, then the saved key. lintus auth login stores it in ~/.config/lintus/credentials.json readable by you only, and also reads the key from stdin when it is piped in.
text is the default, github prints GitHub Actions annotations and becomes the default when GITHUB_ACTIONS is set, and json also lists the probability every rule gave every file under files. Exit status is 0 when clean, 1 when there are offenses and 2 when a request failed or the invocation was wrong.
