ESLint Config Generator

Stop copying ESLint configs from other projects. This tool scans your actual codebase and generates a config that matches how you already write code.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-eslint-config .

What It Does

Scans your existing code to detect patterns and conventions
Generates .eslintrc that matches your actual style
Handles TypeScript, React, Vue, and Node.js projects
Sets up proper parser and plugin configurations
Avoids rules that would flag your existing code

Usage Examples

# Analyze and generate for current project
npx ai-eslint-config .

# Generate strict config
npx ai-eslint-config . --strict

# Output to specific file
npx ai-eslint-config . -o .eslintrc.json

Best Practices

Run on clean code first - Generate config after your codebase is in a good state
Review the rules - AI picks sensible defaults but you know your team's preferences
Extend don't override - Use extends for shared configs, customize only what you need
Add incrementally - Start lenient, tighten rules over time

When to Use This

Starting a new project and need linting fast
Standardizing code style across a team
Migrating from TSLint or other deprecated linters
Learning ESLint rules through real examples

How It Works

The tool uses glob patterns to find source files, analyzes code style patterns like semicolons, quotes, and spacing, then generates an ESLint config that codifies those patterns into enforceable rules.
