Enable Automatic Linting

Enable automatic linting on file save with language selection.

Usage:

/peacock:enable-linting

---

<instructions> Enable automatic linting and configure which languages to lint.

Step 1: Check Config File

Check if the config file exists:

test -f ~/.claude/.peacock-config

If it doesn't exist, create it with defaults:

cat > ~/.claude/.peacock-config << 'EOF'
# Peacock configuration
# This file is sourced by statusline.sh and lint hooks

# Editor configuration
EDITOR_SCHEME=""

# Linting configuration
LINT_ENABLED="true"
LINT_TYPESCRIPT="true"
LINT_GO="true"
EOF

Then output:

✅ Linting enabled for all languages

Linting will now run automatically when you save files.

Languages enabled:
  • TypeScript/JavaScript (via Biome or ESLint)
  • Go (via golangci-lint)

To customize which languages are linted, run /peacock:setup

To disable linting, run /peacock:disable-linting

And exit.

Step 2: Ask User Which Languages

If config file exists, ask which languages to enable:

Question:

• header: "Languages"
• question: "Which languages should be linted?"
• multiSelect: true
• options:
  • label: "TypeScript/JavaScript", description: "Lint .ts/.js files using Biome or ESLint"
  • label: "Go", description: "Lint .go files using golangci-lint"

Store the selected values.

Step 3: Update Config File

Update the config file using sed or awk to modify the LINT_* variables:

# Enable linting
sed -i.bak 's/^LINT_ENABLED=.*/LINT_ENABLED="true"/' ~/.claude/.peacock-config

# Set TypeScript based on selection
if [[ "$TYPESCRIPT_SELECTED" == "true" ]]; then
  sed -i.bak 's/^LINT_TYPESCRIPT=.*/LINT_TYPESCRIPT="true"/' ~/.claude/.peacock-config
else
  sed -i.bak 's/^LINT_TYPESCRIPT=.*/LINT_TYPESCRIPT="false"/' ~/.claude/.peacock-config
fi

# Set Go based on selection
if [[ "$GO_SELECTED" == "true" ]]; then
  sed -i.bak 's/^LINT_GO=.*/LINT_GO="true"/' ~/.claude/.peacock-config
else
  sed -i.bak 's/^LINT_GO=.*/LINT_GO="false"/' ~/.claude/.peacock-config
fi

# Remove backup file
rm ~/.claude/.peacock-config.bak

Step 4: Confirm Success

Build a list of enabled languages based on selection, then output:

✅ Linting enabled

Linting will now run automatically when you save files.

Languages enabled:
$ENABLED_LANGUAGES

To disable linting, run /peacock:disable-linting

Where $ENABLED_LANGUAGES is:

• If TypeScript selected: " • TypeScript/JavaScript (via Biome or ESLint)"
• If Go selected: " • Go (via golangci-lint)"
• If both: show both lines
• If neither: " (none selected - linting effectively disabled)"

Error Handling

• If sed fails, show error and suggest manual edit
• Validate that config file is readable after update </instructions>
