## What it is
remark-lint is a collection of ~70 remark plugins and 3 presets that lint markdown code style, built on the unified/remark ecosystem and inspecting the markdown AST (mdast). It can check markdown via API or CLI and integrates with other remark plugins.

## Use cases
- lint markdown files for style consistency
- enforce consistent markdown style across documentation
- check markdown for bugs and parser compatibility
- write custom markdown lint rules
- lint and format markdown from the CLI

## When to choose
- you author or maintain markdown documentation and want consistent, bug-free style
- you already use remark/unified and want linting integrated into the pipeline
- you need configurable presets or custom markdown lint rules

## When to avoid
- you need linting for languages other than markdown
- you want an all-in-one formatter without rule configuration
- you need a non-JavaScript toolchain

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: linter, parser, plugin-system
- domain: documentation, developer-tools, parsers
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: markdown, remark, unified, style-linting, mdast, monorepo, nodejs
