Package JSON Linter

Lint package.json files for missing fields, dependency issues, security risks, and best practices violations.

Commands

All commands use the bundled Python script at scripts/package_json_linter.py.

1. Lint a package.json file

python3 scripts/package_json_linter.py lint <file-or-directory> [--strict] [--format text|json|markdown]

Runs all lint rules against one or more package.json files. If given a directory, scans for package.json files recursively (excluding node_modules).

Flags:

• --strict — exit code 1 on any warning (not just errors)
• --format — output format: text (default), json, markdown
