LintCat

What it does

One reviewer reads each pull request in a single pass, looking for drift: places where the change names or does something differently from how the rest of your repository already does it. You don’t need to configure anything to get that.

A finding can include a suggested fix. LintCat checks the fix against the file at the pull request’s latest commit before offering it, so a suggestion never lands on the wrong lines. Apply it with one click, or have LintCat commit it for you.

Getting it on your repositories

Install the LintCat GitHub App on your personal account or an organization, and pick the repositories it may review. An owner of the account saves one Anthropic or OpenAI API key on the dashboard; reviews run on that key, so model usage is billed to your provider account.

By default every pull request is reviewed when it is opened, and again on every push. Switch a repository to review only pull requests with the ai-review label, or turn it off, from its settings page. A new push replaces a review still in progress, so comments are always on the latest commit.

What the reviewer looks for

• Naming — Names that break how the rest of the repository names the same kind of thing
• Patterns — A re-implemented helper, a bypassed layer, a second way to do a solved job
• Style — Export style, error shapes and module layout the neighbours share and no linter checks
• Documentation — Docs, comments and links this change made wrong
• Config — Settings and dependencies added differently from the ones already there
