Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Check code quality and formatting before committing changes. Use this to verify your changes meet our coding standards.Key capabilities
- →Validate C/C++ formatting against .clang-format
- →Apply automatic formatting to C/C++ files
- →Verify C/C++ project compilation with build.sh
- →Execute Rust lint checks via make lint
- →Check and apply Rust formatting
- →Add missing license headers to Rust source files
How it works
The skill executes specific shell commands or make targets to verify formatting and compilation. It uses clang-format for C/C++ and cargo-based tools for Rust linting and license management.
Inputs & outputs
When to use lint
- →Check C/C++ formatting
- →Run clippy on Rust code
- →Verify project builds
- →Fix formatting issues
About this skill
Lint Skill
Check code quality and formatting before committing changes.
Usage
Run this skill to check for lint errors and formatting issues.
Instructions
C Code
-
Check C/C++ formatting against
.clang-format:clang-format --dry-run -Werror <modified .c and .h files> -
If formatting check fails, apply formatting:
clang-format -i <modified .c and .h files> -
Verify the project compiles without warnings-as-errors:
./build.shThe CMake build promotes key warnings to errors (
-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types,-Werror=implicit-function-declaration). A successful build confirms these pass.
Rust Code
-
Run the lint check:
make lint -
If clippy reports warnings or errors, fix them before proceeding
-
Check formatting:
make fmt CHECK=1 -
If formatting check fails, apply formatting:
make fmt -
If license headers are missing, add them:
(cd src/redisearch_rs && cargo license-fix) # subshell: custom subcommand, no --manifest-path
Common Clippy Fixes
- Document unsafe blocks: Add
// SAFETY:comment explaining why the unsafe code is sound - Use
#[expect(...)]: Prefer over#[allow(...)]for lint suppressions
Rust-Only Quick Check
cargo clippy --manifest-path src/redisearch_rs/Cargo.toml --all-targets --all-features
When not to use it
- →Projects lacking a build.sh script
- →Non-C/C++/Rust codebases
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires specific build scripts like build.sh or make
- →Rust license fixing is restricted to the src/redisearch_rs directory
How it compares
This skill automates project-specific build and linting commands instead of requiring manual execution of individual compiler or formatter flags.
