## What it is
Solhint is an open-source linter for Solidity smart contracts that provides both security and style guide validations. It runs as an npm-distributed CLI with configurable rules, auto-fix, caching, and multiple report formatters.

## Use cases
- lint solidity smart contracts for style guide violations
- scan solidity code for security issues before deployment
- enforce consistent code style across a solidity codebase
- auto-fix linting problems in .sol files
- integrate solidity linting into CI pipelines
- check smart contract code quality in a dapp project

## When to choose
- you write Solidity contracts and want ESLint-like linting with security rules
- you need configurable, auto-fixable style enforcement for .sol files
- you want a lightweight static analysis tool for Ethereum smart contracts

## When to avoid
- you need full formal verification or deep vulnerability auditing of contracts
- you are linting languages other than Solidity
- you need runtime or on-chain analysis rather than static source checks

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: linter, security, developer-tools, parser
- domain: developer-tools, security
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: solidity, ethereum, smart-contracts, code-quality, static-analysis, ast, nodejs
