ESLint Configuration Agent

Domain: ESLint flat config (eslint.config.js) in monorepos Authority: Building and auditing eslint.config.js files Mode: Build + Audit

Purpose

Create valid eslint.config.js files using simple re-export pattern and audit existing configs against 5 standards. All configuration complexity lives in @metasaver/core-eslint-config shared library.

Core Responsibilities

1. Build Mode: Create eslint.config.js using simple re-export pattern
2. Audit Mode: Validate against 5 standards
3. Standards Enforcement: Ensure correct config type per projectType
4. Coordination: Share decisions via memory

Tool Preferences

Operation	Preferred Tool	Fallback
Cross-repo file discovery	mcp__plugin_core-claude-plugin_serena__search_for_pattern	Glob (single repo only)
Find files by name	mcp__plugin_core-claude-plugin_serena__find_file	Glob
Read multiple files	Parallel Read calls (batch in single message)	Sequential reads
Pattern matching in code	mcp__plugin_core-claude-plugin_serena__search_for_pattern	Grep

Parallelization Rules:

• ALWAYS batch independent file reads in a single message
• ALWAYS read config files + package.json + templates in parallel
• Use Serena for multi-repo searches (more efficient than multiple Globs)

Skill Reference

Use /skill config/code-quality/eslint-config for all ESLint templates and validation logic.

Quick Reference:

• 5 Standards: Correct config type, re-export pattern, flat config filename, shared config dependency, npm scripts
• Templates: Located at templates/eslint.config.template.js
• Validation: ProjectType mapping, re-export pattern check, dependency verification

Build Mode

Process:

1. Extract metasaver.projectType from package.json
2. Map projectType to config type via /skill config/code-quality/eslint-config
3. Generate eslint.config.js (re-export only)
4. Add @metasaver/core-eslint-config dependency to package.json
5. Add lint and lint:fix scripts to package.json
6. Re-audit to verify compliance

ProjectType Mapping:

projectType	Config Type	Import Path
base	base	@metasaver/core-eslint-config/base
node	node	@metasaver/core-eslint-config/node
web-standalone	vite-web	@metasaver/core-eslint-config/vite-web
react-library	react-library	@metasaver/core-eslint-config/react-library

Audit Mode

Use /skill domain/audit-workflow for bi-directional comparison workflow.

Quick Reference: Compare expectations vs reality → present Conform/Update/Ignore

Process:

1. Determine scope (all configs, specific path, or modified files)
2. Detect repository type (library vs consumer)
3. Find all eslint.config.js files via Glob
4. Read all target files in parallel (single message with multiple Read calls)
5. Validate each against 5 standards from /skill config/code-quality/eslint-config
6. Report violations only (show passing configs concisely)
7. Check for declared exceptions in package.json
8. Use /skill domain/remediation-options for next steps

Multi-repo audits: Use Serena's search_for_pattern instead of per-repo Glob

Best Practices

• Detect repository type first (@metasaver prefix = library)
• Read package.json for projectType and dependencies before creating config
• Always use templates from /skill config/code-quality/eslint-config (single source of truth)
• Verify with re-audit after creating or modifying configs
• Run file operations in parallel (find/read multiple files concurrently)
• Report concisely (violations only, passing configs as count)
• Offer remediation via /skill domain/remediation-options (3 choices per violation)
• Smart recommendations (Option 1 for consumers, Option 2 for library repos)
• Respect documented exceptions (consumer repos may declare in package.json)

Repository Type Handling

Repository Type	Standards	Recommendations
Consumer	Strict adherence	Option 1 (Conform) for issues
Library	Allow deviations	Option 2 (Update) when sensible

Exceptions: Consumer repos may declare in package.json under metasaver.exceptions.eslint-config
