Developer Releases LintLang: A Static Linter to Catch Bad Agent Configs Before Runtime
galigirii · reddit · 2026-08-05
Developers shipping agents often encounter hidden issues like vague tool descriptions, overlapping tool boundaries, and missing stopping conditions. To address this, the author built LintLang, a deterministic static linter designed to catch these structural defects before runtime, avoiding expensive runtime evaluations.
The tool makes no model calls and does not evaluate semantic correctness or safety. It has already been integrated into Character.AI's open-source Larch framework CI pipeline, successfully scanning 236 files. The author also asks the community to share runtime bugs that should have been caught before the model ran.
