Markdown Linter

What This Does

A CLI tool to lint Markdown files for common formatting issues, style consistency, and broken links. Helps maintain documentation quality by catching errors before publication.

Key features:

• Header hierarchy validation - ensure proper nesting (no skipped levels)
• Image alt text checking - flag images without descriptive alt text
• Internal link validation - check that internal links (within same doc) point to existing anchors
• Line length checking - warn about lines exceeding configurable length (default 80 chars)
• Trailing whitespace detection - find and report trailing spaces/tabs
• List consistency - ensure consistent list markers (-, *, +) within same document
• Code block language - recommend adding language specification to code blocks
• Empty link detection - flag links with empty text or URLs
• Duplicate headers - warn about duplicate header text within same file
• External link checking - optionally validate external URLs (requires network)

How To Use

Run the skill with:

./scripts/main.py run --input path/to/file.md

Or lint multiple files:

./scripts/main.py run --input "*.md"

Options

• --input: Path to Markdown file(s) (supports glob patterns)
• --max-line-length: Maximum allowed line length (default: 80)
• --check-external-links: Enable external URL validation (default: false)
• --ignore-rules: Comma-separated list of rule IDs to ignore

Output

Returns JSON with linting results:

{
  "file": "example.md",
  "issues": [
    {
      "line": 10,
      "column": 1,
      "rule": "MD001",
      "severity": "warning",
      "message": "Header levels should only increment by one level at a time",
      "fix": "Change ## to #"
    }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "total_issues": 5,
    "errors": 2,
    "warnings": 3
  }
}

Limitations

• External link checking requires network connectivity and may be slow
• Readability scores are not currently implemented
• Some Markdown extensions (tables, footnotes) may not be fully validated
• Large files (>10k lines) may take longer to process
• Anchor detection for internal links works only for simple anchor patterns

Examples

Basic linting:

./scripts/main.py run --input README.md

With custom line length:

./scripts/main.py run --input docs/*.md --max-line-length 100

With external link validation:

./scripts/main.py run --input "**/*.md" --check-external-links
