Prettier formats it. But nothing checks your repo structure.</p> <p>I kept reviewing AI-agent creations where the code compiled and was tested, documentation may have been there - but it was a MESS. Files were in the wrong folder, naming conventions were broken, random markdowns, scripts, and files were laying about like kid who never cleans their room. </p> <p>So I built Repotype.</p> <p>npx repotype validate .</p> <p>It validates folder structure, file naming (kebab-case enforcement), documentation frontmatter, and content policies (secret detection, forbidden patterns). Config is a simple YAML file. There's also an autofix command for some issues.</p> <p>MIT licensed.</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/supernalintelligence/repotype" rel="noopener noreferrer">GitHub</a><br> <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/repotype" rel="noopener noreferrer">npm</a><br> <a href="https://supernalintelligence.github.io/repotype/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Docs</a></p> opensource devtools javascript productivity
