Your custom linters don't check architectural design?

linters statically check code and provide deterministic recommendations. LLMs are used to make judgement. I specifically write my linters for my project to make recommendations for LLMs.

This is how you save on token usage, so your LLMS aren't wasting tokens on static analysis that a linter could do for free.

That's at least how I make my linters.

> If a linter could deterministically identify bad architecture, you wouldn't need an LLM,

a) that's not what a linter is built for, its a tool with very specific role

b) You must've never seen LLM expose secrets in plain text or use the most convoluted scenarios you can think of.
