katana-markdown-linter 0.18.0

Fast Markdown linter and formatter with localized CLI help and version aliases.

katana-markdown-linter Python wrapper

katana-markdown-linter is a thin Python launcher for the kml Markdown linter. The package does not contain independent lint logic. On first use, it downloads the matching kml binary archive from GitHub Releases, verifies the neighboring SHA-256 checksum, installs the binary into the wrapper cache, and then delegates all commands to that binary, including localized CLI help.

Install

pipx install katana-markdown-linter
kml --version

Use uvx for one-off runs:

uvx --from katana-markdown-linter==0.18.0 kml --version
uvx --from katana-markdown-linter==0.18.0 kml check README.md

Basic Usage

# Run linting
kml check README.md

# Show help
kml help
kml --help
kml -h
kml check --help

# Localized help
kml --locale ja help

# Show version aliases
kml version
kml --version
kml -v

# Fix and Format
kml fix README.md

Supported Platforms

The Python launcher uses the same binary archives as the GitHub Release channel. It currently supports:

• macOS arm64: aarch64-apple-darwin
• macOS x64: x86_64-apple-darwin
• Linux x64: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
• Windows x64: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Unsupported platforms fail before download with an explicit platform error.

Wrapper Contract

• The package version selects the GitHub Release tag.
• The launcher downloads kml-vX.Y.Z-<target>.tar.gz or kml-vX.Y.Z-<target>.zip.
• The launcher downloads the matching .sha256 file and verifies the archive before extraction.
• The installed binary is cached under the package-local vendor directory by default.
