Code Quality Tool

Code Style Enforcer

Establish and enforce consistent naming conventions, import ordering, and file organization beyond what Prettier and ESLint cover.

Get the CLI Tool

Enforce code style locally as an MCP server, or try the analyzer online below.

npx @clinetools/style-enforcer
Requires Node.js 18+
  • Detects naming convention violations: camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, SCREAMING_CASE
  • Checks import ordering: built-ins, externals, internals, relative
  • Identifies mixed conventions within the same file
  • Provides auto-fix suggestions for each violation
  • Preference conversation — learns your project's existing style on first run

How to Use It

Establish your style once, enforce it everywhere.

1

Try Online

Paste code below and the tool detects naming and style inconsistencies.

2

Use via CLI

Scans your codebase and learns your conventions. First run asks preferences.

npx @clinetools/style-enforcer
3

Add to Cline / Claude Code

Agent formats new code to match your project conventions automatically.

"style-enforcer": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@clinetools/style-enforcer"] }

MCP Client Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "style-enforcer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@clinetools/style-enforcer"]
    }
  }
}

Preference Conversation (First Run)

// On first run, the tool asks:

1. "What naming convention for variables/functions?"
   [x] camelCase (getUserName, isActive)
   [ ] snake_case (get_user_name, is_active)
   [ ] Auto-detect from existing code

2. "What naming convention for classes/types?"
   [x] PascalCase (UserService, AuthConfig)
   [ ] camelCase (userService, authConfig)

3. "How should imports be ordered?"
   [x] Built-ins → External packages → Internal → Relative
   [ ] Alphabetical within each group
   [ ] Don't enforce import order

4. "What about constants?"
   [x] SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE (MAX_RETRIES)
   [ ] camelCase (maxRetries)

// Preferences saved to .clinetools/style-enforcer.json

Issues

Why Consistent Style Matters

Consistent code style reduces cognitive load. When everything looks familiar, developers read faster and spot bugs easier.

Mixed Naming = Bugs

When some variables use camelCase and others use snake_case, developers waste time remembering which convention applies where. Typos from wrong conventions cause runtime errors that linters don't catch.

Import Order = Readability

Organized imports (built-ins first, then externals, then internal) make it instantly clear what a module depends on. Messy imports hide dependencies and make code review harder.

Team Velocity

Consistent style eliminates "style debates" in code review. When conventions are automated, reviews focus on logic and architecture instead of formatting preferences.

AI Consistency

AI agents generate code in whatever style they've seen most. Without enforcement, each generated file might use a different convention. Style enforcement makes AI output feel native to your codebase.

Beyond Prettier

Prettier handles formatting (semicolons, quotes, indentation). This tool handles semantic style: are your function names verbs? Are your class names nouns? Are your constants actually constant-cased? That's a different layer.

Your Code, Your Style, Enforced Everywhere

Add the Code Style Enforcer to your agent's toolkit and keep your codebase consistent.
