Flint is a Go CLI tool that checks a project for common sources of contributor friction, such as missing README, CONTRIBUTING guide, LICENSE, bootstrap, and test scripts. It can run against a local folder or a remote GitHub repository without cloning.

Use cases

• check if my repo has a readme, license, and contributing guide
• audit a github repository for contributor friction without cloning it
• find missing bootstrap and test scripts in my project
• improve onboarding experience for open source contributors
• lint my project structure before open sourcing it

When to choose

• you want a quick automated check of open-source project hygiene files
• you want to audit remote GitHub repos without cloning them
• you prefer a simple, fast, single-binary CLI

When to avoid

• you need deep code-quality linting rather than repo structure checks
• you need CI-integrated or configurable policy enforcement beyond the built-in checks
• you need actively developed tooling with frequent updates
