What it does

Lint is an agent skill from ethereum/execution-specs. Run and fix the repository static analysis suite.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Linting and formatting and Static analysis and SAST. It works with Ethereum and Ruff. The repository describes itself as: Specification for the Execution Layer. Tracking network upgrades. The licence is CC0-1.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Linting and formatting
  • Tasks that involve Static analysis and SAST

Example prompts

  • “/lint”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Run the Full Check
  2. Auto-Fix Formatting and Lint Issues
  3. Resolve Remaining Issues Manually
  4. Final Verification

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit dc6d1a5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • just

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Lint loads about 286 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 134 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~286

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Lint

Run the full static analysis suite and fix issues. This matches the CI check on every PR.

Step 1: Run the Full Check

bash
just static

This runs ruff, mypy, codespell, ethereum-spec-lint, and actionlint in one pass. If everything passes, you're done.

Step 2: Auto-Fix Formatting and Lint Issues

If static checks report ruff errors, run the fix recipe first — it resolves most issues automatically:

bash
just fix

Step 3: Resolve Remaining Issues Manually

After auto-fix, re-run to see what's left:

bash
just static
  • Remaining ruff issues: fix manually (auto-fix can't handle all rules)
  • mypy errors: fix type annotations, add missing types, correct signatures
  • codespell errors: fix typos, or add intentional words via just whitelist <word>
  • ethereum-spec-lint errors: fix import isolation violations (see /implement-eip for import rules)
  • actionlint errors: fix workflow YAML issues (see /edit-workflow)

Step 4: Final Verification

Re-run until clean:

just static

Can I use Lint in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add ethereum/execution-specs --skill lint -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/lint, .gemini/skills/lint, .github/skills/lint and .opencode/skills/lint in your project.
