Introducing AgentLinter: Codacy now scans your AI agent config files

Codacy launches AgentLinter, a tool that scans AI agent configuration files such as CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md in code repositories, helping engineering teams ensure their AI assistants follow proper guidelines and reducing oversight risks.

Most engineering teams now have AI agent config files sitting in their repos. CLAUDE.md tells Claude Code how to behave, while AGENTS.md does the same for other agents. .cursorrules, copilot-instructions.md, and a handful of similar files do the same job for other tools. These files live alongside your source code, get reviewed less often than the code itself, and shape what your AI assistants actually do.
