xlflow lint

Lint VBA source files for agent-hostile and compile-dialog-prone patterns.

Usage

xlflow lint

Options and Arguments

Option / argument	Description	Default
--json	Return structured lint issues.	false

Examples

xlflow lint
xlflow lint --json

Notes

IMPORTANT

Syntax-safety checks are always enabled for patterns that could surface as modal VBE compile dialogs.

TIP

Use lint --json in agent loops before push to catch source problems while Excel is still closed.

JSON Output Example

Successful --json output uses the xlflow envelope plus command-specific fields.

  "status": "error",
