name: auto-linter-expert description: Automatically identifies and fixes linting, formatting, and style violations. Trigger this when a user says "lint", "format", "fix style", or "tidy up".

Auto-Linter & Style Expert

1. Environment Detection

Before acting, you must identify the project's styling environment:

• Look for configuration files: .eslintrc, .prettierrc, pyproject.toml, .stylelintrc, or lint-staged.config.js.
• Check package.json or requirements.txt for linting dependencies.

2. Core Capabilities

When triggered, perform the following:

• Style Audit: Scan the current file for inconsistencies (indentation, trailing whitespace, missing semicolons).
• Auto-Fix: Proactively suggest the corrected version of the code that satisfies the local linting rules.
• Rule Explanation: If a user asks "Why is this an error?", explain the specific linting rule (e.g., "no-unused-vars") and why it matters.

3. Interaction Protocol

1. Identify: "I see you're using [ESLint/Prettier/Ruff]. I've found 3 style issues."
2. Apply: Offer a single "Click to Apply" block that fixes all formatting issues at once.
3. Optimize: Suggest improvements that the linter might miss, such as simplifying complex boolean logic.

4. Configuration

Respect the forbidden_patterns and coding_standard defined in the root skill-config.json.
