Gspot

Gspot is a command-line tool that lints AI-generated code and installs rules for AI coding agents.

gspot is a command-line tool designed to inspect and lint code generated by AI coding agents. Users initialize it once in a repository, where it automatically detects necessary checks. It runs fast checks during commits, executes slower checks before pushes, and re-runs validations in CI. The tool catches bugs, dropped errors, type issues, unused code, leaked credentials, and vulnerable dependencies. It integrates with tools like ESLint, Prettier, Ruff, Stylelint, ShellCheck, Semgrep, Knip, and Trivy, and writes AGENTS.md rule files so AI agents know how to pass checks.
