codelaw
A linter and formatter whose rules are Markdown files — for JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, JSON, YAML, TOML, Markdown, CSS and HTML, alone or mixed.
One engine, two registries, identical output. The same native binary ships
as codelaw on npm and on PyPI; neither needs the other.
Install
| your repo | engine | rules for its languages |
|---|---|---|
| Node | npm i -D codelaw |
npx codelaw init adds the @codelaw/rules-* packs |
| Python | uv add --dev codelaw or pip install codelaw |
codelaw init adds the codelaw-rules-* packs |
codelaw installed alone lints nothing until a rule pack is installed — it
says so (codelaw/no-rules).
Agent files — skills, steering, instructions, hooks and MCP registration for
Claude Code, Cowork, Copilot, Codex and Kiro — are a package of their own, at
codelaw's exact version: npm i -D @codelaw/skills or pip install codelaw-skills.
codelaw init --agents installs it; codelaw sync-agents needs it.
Rule packs — each registry carries the packs its users install:
| registry | named | packs |
|---|---|---|
| npm | @codelaw/rules-<name> |
js · ts · react · node · stencil · html · css · scss · css-modules · data · tanstack-query · redux-toolkit · security-js · security-ts · security-html · spell |
| PyPI | codelaw-rules-<name> |
js · react · html · css · scss · python · data · security-js · security-html · security-python · spell |
Use
codelaw check # lint the project
codelaw fix # apply the safe fixes
codelaw check --format json
Programmatic API — runs the bundled binary and returns its JSON report:
import { check, fix, format, rulesFor } from "codelaw";
const report = check(["src"]);
const rules = rulesFor("src/app.ts");
import codelaw
report = codelaw.check(["src"])
rules = codelaw.rules_for("app/main.py")
| npm | Python | what it returns |
|---|---|---|
check(paths, options) |
check(paths, …) |
codelaw check --format json |
fix(paths, options) |
fix(paths, …) |
codelaw fix --format json; unsafe, dryRun / dry_run |
format(paths, options) |
format(paths, …) |
codelaw format --format json; check writes nothing |
rulesFor(path) |
rules_for(path) |
the rules that apply to one file, as codelaw rules --for lists them |
binaryPath(), platformKey() |
binary_path() |
the bundled binary, and the platform key it was chosen by |
Platforms
macOS arm64 and x64 · Linux x64 and arm64, glibc and musl · Windows x64 and arm64. Any other platform fails with an error naming these — codelaw never compiles from source at install time.
