How to check changed code lines against plain-English rules with Awesome Jev

Flag rule violations on the lines a change adds, using rules written in plain English.

Who it is forA developer or reviewer who wants automatic feedback on a branch diff without writing formal lint rules.

The problemStandard linters miss team conventions that are easy to state in words but hard to encode as rules.

The outcomeA list of findings tied to added lines in the diff, each matched to a plain-English rule.

What you need first

  • Access to Jev through TypeSafe, which the SDK and integration entries rely on
  • Git and Python, since most picks in this list are Python or run from a repo
  • Review of each project's permissions and data handling before running it, as the README asks

Steps

  1. Open the softlint repository at https://github.com/blazejkustra/softlint and read its README for setup and how rules are written.
  2. Write your team's rules as short plain-English statements.
  3. Install softlint following its README, then run it on the diff of your branch.
  4. Review each finding, which points to a line added in the diff, and decide whether to fix or accept it.

Prompt for your agent

Use the softlint repo (https://github.com/blazejkustra/softlint) to check the diff of <branch-name> against these plain-English rules: <rules>. Return each finding with its file, added line, and the rule it breaks. Verify that every finding points to a line added in the diff.

Caveat. The README does not say which model or service softlint calls, so confirm where diff content goes before running it on private code.
