A conforming code file with the shape, naming and import rules Shapelint enforces

100% Framework-Agnostic

Zero hardcoded framework assumptions. Enforce architectural conventions across React, Vue, Svelte, Angular, NestJS, Express, Node.js, or vanilla TypeScript.

Shape, by example

Declare a file's expected structure by writing the code you want to see, a template with $Name holes, not AST selectors.

Naming & placement

Filename conventions, plus a belongsHere check that flags a governed-looking file written to the wrong folder.

Import boundaries & layers

Keep layers clean, enforce strict dependency boundaries, and isolate sibling feature internals statically.

Design-system & API usage

Require design-system components over raw HTML elements, and ban direct data fetching or network calls inside primitives.

Semantic tier (opt-in)

A provider-agnostic AI judge for the few conventions that resist static encoding, non-blocking and cached.

Fix, scaffold & adopt

Mechanical autofix with verify-and-rollback, scaffolding for new files, and a baseline to roll out on legacy repos.
