About:
Flint is a command-line tool that inspects your project repository for common sources of friction that can hinder contributors. It checks for issues like missing README files, outdated dependencies, and improper git configurations. The main value is helping maintainers improve project health and lower the barrier to entry for new contributors.
Key Features:
  • Checks for missing or incomplete documentation
  • Identifies potential dependency and configuration issues
  • Provides actionable recommendations for fixes
  • Fast, single-binary execution
Use Cases:
  • Auditing open-source projects for onboarding friendliness
  • Pre-release checklist for repository hygiene
  • Continuous integration to enforce project standards
Alternatives:
  • shellcheck – Shellcheck focuses on static analysis of shell scripts, whereas flint analyzes repository structure and metadata.
  • codeclimate – CodeClimate offers broader, multi-language static analysis, while flint is a lightweight tool focused specifically on contributor friction points.
