Factory AI's guide explains how linters can encode architecture, boundaries, and ergonomics into the code generation loop for LLM agents, enabling agents to self-heal by obeying lint rules and reducing human iterations. It covers categories of agent-focused lint rules, how linters power agent-native development, and how they can drive mass refactor migrations.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://factory.com/news/using-linters-to-direct-agents:

> Linters turn human intent into machine-enforced guarantees that allow agents to plan, generate, and self-correct without waiting on humans.
