Install · what we'll ask for
Two clicks. The next screen is GitHub's.
When you continue, GitHub will ask you to choose which repositories agentlint can access. Here's exactly what permissions the App requests and what each one is for.
-
Contents · ReadSo we can read your
CLAUDE.md,AGENTS.md,.cursor/rules, hook scripts, and skill files. We never write to your repository. -
Pull requests · Read & writeSo we can post inline comments and review summaries on PRs that touch a rules file. Comments only — no commits, no merge gates, no approvals.
-
Issues · Read & writeSo we can open the one-time initial-audit issue when you first install, and post the paywall reminder when you exceed the free tier.
-
Metadata · ReadStandard for every GitHub App. The repo's name, default branch, and visibility — nothing about the contents.
Anything not listed above, agentlint can't do. We can't push, can't merge, can't trigger workflows, can't read your other repos. You can revoke access at any time from your GitHub Settings.
5 free audits on every private repo. Unlimited on OSS, forever.
