Automation Tools (.github/ directory)

The .github/ folder contains documentation automation tools. Follow these conventions:

Structure Guidelines

.github/
├── lint-docs/          # Doc linters (flat structure)
│   ├── seo-lint-cli.ts
│   ├── seo-lint-rules.ts
│   ├── 404-lint-cli.ts
│   ├── package.json
│   └── tsconfig.json
├── ai-reviewer/        # AI style reviewer
├── cspell/             # Spell checking config
└── workflows/          # GitHub Actions

Naming Conventions

1. Flat structure over nesting: Put related files directly in one folder rather than creating subfolders
2. Prefix file names: Use prefixes like seo-lint-, 404-lint- for better IDE tab visibility
3. Single package.json: Each tool folder should have one shared package.json

Adding New Tools

When creating new automation tools:

• Create a folder at .github/<tool-name>/
• Use descriptive file prefixes (e.g., tool-name-cli.ts, tool-name-rules.ts)
• Include package.json, tsconfig.json, and a brief README
