gen-linter-config

A LLM-based linter configuration generate tool .

How to use

1. install:

pip install gen-linter-config

2. Configuring LLM: This project uses litellm to call large model in a unified format, so please make sure that you have configured your key as an environment variable and have sufficient token resources before using it.

3. Usage Example：

   gen-linter-config -t checkstyle --input "No more than 5 function parameters"
   gen-linter-config -t checkstyle --input rule.txt --out output.json
   gen-linter-config -t checkstyle --input "Wrap the code block in braces" --format json
   gen-linter-config --tool Cppcheck --model dashscope/qwen3-max --input "It is forbidden to use malloc functions that may return null pointers without checking."
   # Cppcheck does not apply to the attribute name system, so it will not actually return the content containing the attribute name.
   

Configure key as a system-level environment variable

Windows：Through the system property settings. Find system-properties, find advanced system settings-environment variable, and then create a new user variable with the variable named OPENAI_API_KEY and the value of the key in the user environment variable above.

Linux/macos：Set environment variables in the shell configuration file. Open the terminal and execute the instructions according to different shell:

# Bash
nano ~/.bashrc
# Zsh
nano ~/.zshrc
# Other shell may need to consult relevant documents.

Add in the configuration file:

export OPENAI_API_KEY=[Your OpenAI API key]

Then save and exit. Make the changes take effect:

# Bash
source ~/.bashrc
# Zsh
source ~/.zshrc
# 其它的shell可能需要查阅相关文档确定具体指令。
