what it catches
[CRITICAL]
Prompt Injection Detects role-hijacking and "ignore previous instructions" patterns before they reach your pipeline.
[WARN]
Token Bloat Flags politeness filler, redundant phrasing, and structural waste burning your API budget.
[WARN]
Missing Structure Warns on prompts lacking delimiters, output format specs, or role definitions that degrade output quality.
[INFO]
Cost Projection Projects token cost at real-world scale so you know the budget impact before you ship.
how it works
[*] VS Code Extension

Inline linting as you type

Squiggly underlines on bad prompts. Lightbulb auto-fix for safe changes. Works just like ESLint.

[*] CLI Tool

Drop into any pipeline

One command. Works as a pre-commit hook or GitHub Action. Fails builds on CRITICAL issues.

[*] Zero Latency

Static analysis only

Purely deterministic parsing. No LLM round-trip. No API key needed. Results in milliseconds.

[*] Auto-fix

Confident fixes only

Safe changes applied automatically. Ambiguous rewrites shown as suggestions you approve first.
