## What it is
A command-line interface for markdownlint that lints Markdown files for style and consistency issues. It supports configuration files, globbing, auto-fixing basic issues, custom rules, and can run via npm, Homebrew, or Docker.

## Use cases
- lint markdown files from the command line
- enforce markdown style rules in CI
- auto-fix markdown formatting issues
- lint all markdown files in a repo with globs
- check markdown style before committing docs

## When to choose
- you want to enforce consistent Markdown style across a project
- you need a scriptable linter for Markdown in CI pipelines
- you want configurable rules with JSON/YAML/TOML config files

## When to avoid
- you need Markdown linting inside an editor only (use an editor plugin instead)
- you need prose quality checking rather than style linting

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: linter, cli, markdown, formatter
- domain: developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: markdownlint, linting, style-checking, npm, command-line, nodejs, docker
