  4. vacuum

    vacuum is the worlds fastest OpenAPI 3, OpenAPI 2 / Swagger linter and quality analysis tool. Built in go, it tears through API specs faster than you can think. vacuum is compatible with Spectral rulesets and generates compatible reports.

    We also love open source tools that help achieve the fast feedback loops in API like Vacuum, RateMyOpenAPI or Mockbin to name a few.

  5. editorconfig-checker

    A tool to verify that your files are in harmony with your .editorconfig

    Project mention: What's New in Emacs 30.1? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-24

    A note on one of the change: "New package EditorConfig. This package provides support for the EditorConfig standard..."

    Honestly the only reason to use this, and don't get me wrong, it's a huge reason, is to ensure windows users don't add CRLFs in their commits, and mess up diffs. Set `end_of_line = lf` and you're done.

    `charset = utf-8` and `trim_trailing_whitespace = true` are also nice, but not as disruptive as `end_of_line`.

    The other (indentation related) functionality should honestly be handled by language specific linters instead, as they can be syntax aware and allow for better control. I always disable those in practice.

    This is the CLI tool to use during CI: https://github.com/editorconfig-checker/editorconfig-checker
