Go Linters

Use this guide when adding a new custom Go analysis linter in this repository.

For PR-driven linter generation (derive a rule from a specific pull request pattern), use .github/skills/pr-to-go-linter/SKILL.md.

Where to add a new linter

1. Create a new package under pkg/linters/<linter-name>/.
2. Define an analyzer in that package (exported as Analyzer).
3. Add tests in the same package using analysistest with fixtures under testdata/src/....
4. Register the analyzer in cmd/linters/main.go so it runs via the multichecker binary.
