AGENTS.md

lipstyk is a static analysis tool that detects machine-generated code patterns. Deterministic rules, no ML. Rust codebase, edition 2024.

Build

cargo build --release                    # CLI only
cargo build --release --features agent   # CLI + MCP/Omegon agent
cargo build --release --features lsp     # CLI + LSP server
cargo test                               # 87 integration tests

CI runs cargo clippy -- -D warnings. Fix all warnings before opening a PR.

Adding a rule

1. Pick the right trait

Rust rules implement Rule (uses syn AST):

pub trait Rule: Send + Sync {
    fn name(&self) -> &'static str;
    fn check(&self, file: &syn::File, ctx: &LintContext) -> Vec<Diagnostic>;
}

LintContext carries filename, source, and exclude_tests.

All other languages implement SourceRule:

pub trait SourceRule: Send + Sync {
    fn name(&self) -> &'static str;
    fn langs(&self) -> &[Lang];
    fn check(&self, ctx: &SourceContext) -> Vec<Diagnostic>;
}
