IDNameDescription
V1005.001Correctness rulesRules for likely bugs: unused results, shadowing, unreachable code, wrong comparisons.
V1005.002Convention rulesProject conventions encoded as lint rules instead of review comments.
V1005.003Custom lint rulesRepository-specific rules written as plugins or pattern rules for mistakes that recur in review.

Craft it

  1. Enable the linter's recommended set and fix or baseline existing findings.
  2. Turn recurring review comments into custom rules (an ESLint plugin, a Semgrep rule, a Clippy lint config).
  3. Fail CI on new findings only, so the baseline shrinks without blocking work.

Reverse engineer it

Signs that a codebase already runs this technique, and where to read how it is configured.

  • Lint config in pyproject.toml ([tool.ruff]), eslint.config.js, .golangci.yml or clippy.toml.
  • A CI job named lint, or a lint script in package.json, Makefile or justfile.
  • Inline suppressions (noqa, eslint-disable) show which rules are enforced.

Where the scanned repositories configure it:

  • .github/workflows/*.yml in 101 repositories
  • package.json in 64 repositories
  • pyproject.toml in 40 repositories
  • .pre-commit-config.yaml in 37 repositories
  • Makefile in 27 repositories
  • eslint.config.mjs in 23 repositories

Detected by the scanner as: Linting (bug-prone patterns, unused code and conventions the formatter does not cover.)
