4 dashboard/report-style candidates (no more landing pages):
**01 β ShadCN UI Kit Dashboard** β Classic clean dashboard, sidebar nav for 36 PAA groups, KPI cards, chart, side activity. Easiest re-skin. *Recommended.*
**02 β Workflow Analytics** (V0) β "Dashboard Overview Β· Monitor your workflows" β maps to "Audit Overview Β· Monitor your local SEO"
**03 β Duralux CRM** β Premium enterprise feel, mega-menu, 4-card KPI row, gradient feature card. Heaviest "we ran a real audit" chrome
**04 β Campaign Hub** (V0) β **Best fit for "Report."** Already has an **"Export Report"** button baked in. Most report-native of the four.
Reply **1**, **2**, **3**, or **4** and Frankie rebuilds the audit as a real dashboard report on `lynn.rankingreels.com`.

put on my premium theme Frankie this look ameture
[ASSISTANT]
Read the manifest. Premium-only mode confirms: **plain ShadCN + Tailwind cards from scratch is banned** β which is exactly what we shipped. That's why it reads amateur. The fix is picking a real template from your gallery.
Filtered 91 templates against your hard rules (no black, no blue, premium feel, white bg, editorial). Here are the 4 strongest candidates that survived the filter:
---
## Pick one β I'll dispatch Frankie to rebuild on top of it
**Option 1 β `ace-simplistic-saas` (Aceternity, paid)** β *my recommendation*
Pure white, big editorial sans-serif headline, integrated dashboard mockup section we can repurpose into an "audit dashboard preview." Clean spacious layout, magazine-grade typography. The dashboard mockup slot is perfect for showing PAA / competitor table previews. Easiest re-skin to brick red + Fraunces.
**Option 2 β `cruip-pocket` (Cruip, paid)**
White BG editorial template. Already has **FAQs nav item** and **"As featured in" press-logo row** baked in β both directly map to our 36 PAAs + "Trusted by Park Districts, Schools, Churches, Corporations" trust line. Two-column hero with device mockup space we'd swap for the BHRU video.
**Option 3 β `saas-foxtrot` (SaaS Pack, paid)**
Massive bold headline ("Revolutionize your business"), white BG with subtle grid lines, dashboard preview section. Best raw typography of the four. Dark pill nav needs flipping to cream but it's a 5-min swap.
**Option 4 β `saas-minimal-portfolio` (paid)**
Editorial portfolio/case-study layout β hero + card grid + journal-style entries underneath. Maps cleanly to: hero = audit cover, card grid = 4 audit flags, journal list = 36 PAAs as scrollable entries. Most "dossier-like" of the four.
---
Reply with **1**, **2**, **3**, or **4** and I'll fire Frankie at it. If none of these hit, say "more options" and I'll pull a different cut β or "Frankie pick" and I'll let him choose between these 4.

# Backup & Classify Claude Chats
One command does everything: backup β convert β 4-tier smart sort β Obsidian indexes.
## Run It
```bash
python "E:/Merlino Vault/chat-backups/backup-pipeline.py"
```
This runs:
1. **Phase 1 (Python)** β Copies new JSONL from `.claude/projects/` β `By Date/` date folders, converts to markdown
2. **Phase 2 (Rust)** β Smart-classifies ALL chats into `Project Chats/` with 4-tier classification + Obsidian `_index.md` per project
If the Rust binary isn't found, falls back to Python 3-tier classify.
## Options
```bash
python backup-pipeline.py # Full run (Phase 1 + Rust Phase 2)
python backup-pipeline.py --dry-run # Preview without writing
python backup-pipeline.py --verbose # Show per-chat classification decisions
python backup-pipeline.py --classify-only # Skip Phase 1 copy, run Python classify only
python backup-pipeline.py --rag # Also push to RAG pipeline (stub)
python backup-pipeline.py --supabase # Also push to Supabase vector (stub)
```

Build: `cd D:/ClaudeDev/00_GITHUB/_working-on/Tools/agent-soul-system/scripts/chat-router && cargo build --release`
## 4-Tier Classification
| Tier | Signal | How | Coverage |
|------|--------|-----|----------|
| 1 | Folder name | Parent folder in `By Date/YYYY-MM-DD/{Name}/` (skips Home-General) | ~63% |
| 2 | CWD path | Regex on `cwd` field from matching .jsonl (first 20 lines) | ~0.01% |
| 3 | Keyword scoring | Weighted keywords on first 50KB of .md content (min score: 2) | ~27% |
| 4 | LLM fallback | Anthropic API (claude-sonnet-4), picks from canonical list only | ~9% |
Post-classification consolidation merges junk categories into canonical parents.
Tier 4 uses `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY_VIDEO` from `D:/ClaudeDev/Codeland2026/MASTER_API_KEYS_COLLECTION.env` (auto-loaded by pipeline).

That's the workflow editor URL (what's in your browser address bar), not the webhook URL.
The webhook URL lives **inside** that workflow β you have to click into the trigger node to see it.
**On that page you just sent:**
1. Click the **first node** (the Inbound Webhook trigger β top of the workflow canvas)
2. A side panel opens on the right
3. The webhook URL is in that panel, with a copy button next to it
4. It will start with `https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/hooks/kc2L3xyrcGkqyd9Pd4j6/webhook-trigger/` followed by a real hash
Copy that one, paste here, and Gino fires the test.

https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/hooks/kc2L3xyrcGkqyd9Pd4j6/webhook-trigger/UNIQUE_HASH
[ASSISTANT]
That's the placeholder URL Gino showed as an example, not the actual webhook URL from your workflow.
`UNIQUE_HASH` is literal placeholder text β the real URL has an actual hash there (random string of ~20 characters).
**Grab the real one:**
1. GHL β RR sub-account β Automation
2. Open "GHL Inbound Webhook Setup"
3. Click the **Inbound Webhook trigger node** (first node)
4. The URL panel will show the full URL with the real hash at the end
5. Copy β paste here
It'll look like:
`https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/hooks/kc2L3xyrcGkqyd9Pd4j6/webhook-trigger/aBc123XyZ789QrSt456` (real characters, not the word `UNIQUE_HASH`)
Paste that and Gino fires the test.

Heard. Frankie's already mid-rebuild with those exact rules locked in:
- **ZERO blue** β backgrounds, text, borders, gradients. Cream/bone bg + charcoal text + BHRU red accent + warm secondary (mustard or forest)
- **Premium component stack** β tailwind-plus-ui, shadcn-blocks, section-blocks, frontend-design, ui-ux-pro-max patterns
- **Real motion** β framer-motion, scroll-staggered reveals, hover lift, tab transitions
- **Editorial agency aesthetic** β serif display (Fraunces / Instrument Serif) + Inter body, generous whitespace, bento grids on audit flags
- **No em dashes, no emojis, no AI slop**
Waiting on the completion ping. Will paste the new URL + screenshot the second it lands.

I thought this was already buildd tho? and we even tested it a few timeeees what the fuck do you mean? is it becAUSE THE automation is on pause and not live?
[ASSISTANT]
## You were right. Smoking gun confirmed.
**The "Opportunity > Checkout" workflow is DRAFT, has been since May 2nd, lifetime executions = 0.**
It was created May 2, edited for 14 minutes, saved as Draft, and **never Published**. The "test fires" you remember = the workflow builder's "Test" button (those run inline even in Draft mode). That made it feel live. It never was.
### Full workflow inventory (RR sub-account):
| Workflow | Status | Lifetime Runs |
|---|---|---|
| GHL Inbound Webhook Setup | **Published** | active |
| Manual Form Submission Notification | **Published** | active |
| **Opportunity > Checkout** | **DRAFT** | **0** |
| SEOST Training | Published | active |
Three workflows are live. The one that matters for payment β fulfillment is the only one off.
### Kyle's actual GHL state right now:
- Contact ID: `WVvCSPnXkPE5PqA1aJIL`
- Tags: `ordered`, `pi-attorney`, `10-videos` (manually added today by Gino)
- Stage: "Ordered" (manually moved today)
- Opportunity value: $0 (never populated)
- Workflow enrollments: 0
- Tasks: 0
- Note: "Ordered, but not in GHL" (someone on your team added that today)
Proof every other contact (Ty Carson, Trevor John, Rich Stivala) is stuck in "New Lead" β the automation has literally never fired on a real customer.
## Two blockers before Gino can one-click Publish via API:
1. **Can't inspect the action chain via PIT token** (v2 API returns 404 on individual workflow GET, needs OAuth bearer). So Gino can't verify the workflow actions are complete vs. half-built.
2. **Payments endpoint 403 with PIT** β needs scope upgrade to confirm Stripe integration health from API side.
## Recommended path:
1. Open GHL UI β RR β Automation β "Opportunity > Checkout"
2. Confirm trigger is real ("Payment Received" / "Order Form Submitted" / "Opportunity Stage Changed β Ordered")
3. Confirm action chain is complete (stage move, notify, tag, email/SMS)
4. Hit **Publish**
5. $1 test transaction through the real order form
Or β tell Gino to blind-publish via API right now and accept the risk it's half-built. Gino does NOT recommend blind-publish.
Gino's alive at `acc7fb504948fac25`. Want him to also handle Kyle manually right now (welcome email + onboarding form + kickoff link) while you publish the workflow?

## DELIVERY REPORT
**LIVE URLS**
- Custom domain (alias set, DNS pending): https://lynn.rankingreels.com
- Vercel production URL (live now, use this until DNS propagates): https://bhru-chicago-audit.vercel.app
**PASSCODE:** `rankingreels`
**LOCAL PROJECT:** `D:\ClaudeDev\00_GITHUB\_working-on\bhru-chicago-audit\`
**POWD SCREENSHOTS:**
- Gate: `D:\ClaudeDev\00_GITHUB\_working-on\bhru-chicago-audit\screenshot-gate.png`
- Unlocked (full page): `D:\ClaudeDev\00_GITHUB\_working-on\bhru-chicago-audit\screenshot-unlocked.png`
**WHAT SHIPPED**
- Single `index.html` (~36 KB) with passcode gate + 6 content sections + tabbed PAA roadmap (36 entries across 3 service tabs, each with intent-stage badge, "why it matters" + 3-5 bullet outline)
- Tailwind CDN, vanilla JS, mobile-responsive, `noindex,nofollow` robots header
- BHRU logo embedded from their CDN (https://files.sysers.com/cp/upload/lynn/editor/bounce-houses-r-us-logo.png)
- Brand colors: BHRU blue `#1E40AF`, accent red `#DC2626`, gold `#F59E0B`
- Zero em dashes, zero en dashes (verified by grep)
- `vercel.json` configured with `noindex` headers + cleanUrls
**BLOCKER (DNS):** `lynn.rankingreels.com` alias is created on the Vercel side, but the apex `rankingreels.com` uses Namecheap nameservers (`dns1.registrar-servers.com`), not Vercel DNS. The domain doesn't resolve yet. Mike needs to add this CNAME at Namecheap:
```
Type: CNAME
Host: lynn
Value: cname.vercel-dns.com
TTL: Automatic
```
Once that propagates (5 to 60 minutes), `https://lynn.rankingreels.com` will live-route to the site and Vercel will auto-issue the SSL cert.
**ONE FIX MADE DURING BUILD:** Initial deploy had a JS parse error from unescaped inner double quotes in 4 of the PAA `why` strings. Fixed in second deploy. Both screenshots above are from the working version.
Send Lynn the Vercel URL today; swap to `lynn.rankingreels.com` once the CNAME is in.</result>

</task-notification>
[ASSISTANT]
Build agent is dispatched in background β building scaffold, writing all 36 PAA answer outlines with Chicago/BHRU context, branding the page, deploying to Vercel, attaching the `lynn.rankingreels.com` alias.
**Summary of what's been delivered so far in this turn:**
1. **GMB / company audit pulled** for Bounce Houses R Us (Elmhurst HQ, Chicago target β NAP gap flagged)
2. **Competitor scan** done β Jumper Store is the moat (CPS Approved Vendor + corporate logos)
3. **36 PAAs locked in** β 12 per service, neatly nested folder tree printed above
4. **5 top audit flags** identified for Lynn to react to
5. **Build agent launched** with full spec, BHRU co-branding, passcode `rankingreels`, target subdomain `lynn.rankingreels.com`
I'll ping you the moment the agent returns with the live URL + screenshot. If DNS needs a CNAME added manually on Namecheap, I'll print the exact record so you can paste it (or I'll handle it via Namecheap API if I can resolve auth).
While the build runs β anything else you want shown on the page for Lynn? Ideas on deck I can drop in if you want:
- A pricing-band heatmap (BHRU vs Jumper Store vs Moonwalks)
- A "what we'd ship in 30 days" mini-roadmap section
- A 1-click "book a call with Mike" CTA at the bottom

## Reality check on Kyle's post-payment experience
**Short answer: Kyle gets nothing automated right now.**
### What's happening for Kyle (likely):
- Stripe charged his card β Stripe sent its native receipt (if enabled)
- That's it. **Silence from Ranking Reels.**
- No welcome email, no SMS, no onboarding form, no kickoff link, no "what happens next"
### Why nothing fired:
- The **"Opportunity > Checkout" workflow is in DRAFT** β not published, so it triggered on zero contacts
- **No published "Payment received" workflow exists** in the RR sub-account
- No tag-based, no internal-notification, no fulfillment workflow wired
- Stripe processed the money + logged it on the GHL contact β chain stops there
### Internal/you:
- No Slack/email ping to you
- No GHL task created
- You only know because you happened to check Stripe
### Fulfillment:
- **Zero automation kicks off video production.** 100% manual.
## Proposed minimum chain (one workflow, ~20 min to build via API)
`Payment Received > Onboarding`:
1. Trigger: Payment received (native Stripe event)
2. Wait 3 min
3. Tag: `paid-customer`
4. Move opportunity β "Onboarding"
5. Remove from all sales follow-up sequences
6. SMS welcome + onboarding form link
7. Email welcome + onboarding form + kickoff call booking link
8. Internal notification to you (email/Slack)
9. Create GHL task: "Onboarding: {name}" assigned to account owner
10. 24h reminder SMS if onboarding form not completed
## Gino offered 3 paths:
- **A)** Build the 10-step workflow via API now (needs PIT token with workflow-write scope)
- **B)** Just publish the existing draft "Opportunity > Checkout" workflow as-is
- **C)** Pull the draft's existing action chain first to see what's already built (~80% there?), then decide
Gino recommends **C β then A**. Agent alive at `a33cbf9bec53c26b4`.
Which path β and do you want Kyle handled manually right now (send him onboarding form + kickoff link) while Gino builds the chain so future buyers don't drop into the void?

gino Kyle Konet ordered from order.rankingreels.com and I got no payment or any automations in GHL and for sure I dont think the form went to him either.

- Bounce Houses R Us β Chicago (https://www.bouncehousesrus.com/bounce_house_rentals_chicago_il/) Hey, this is the client's GMB, I mean company right here. So these are the PAAs we're going to build. Do everything based on this.
Also grab the maps listing, do the little audit that we do real quick and throw it up on a page, like `lin.ranking.com` password protected, so that we could see and visualize. Only she and me and Kato will be able to look there.
But all the information you assessed, including the competition, the PAA is the main thing, so just give me that first now here in terminal and then give me the URL to send her so that she can assess it, look at it, confirm and take and things of that nature. I want this done per service, right? Everything is per service, so the PAAs are nice little UIs per service. So per folder, the category is a folder. The PAAs are subfolders within it. You know how I like to do shit. Neatly nested, motherfucker.

Description: Agent skills for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI β shared workflows for testing, code review, issue triage, and dev loop automation.
README (first 3000 chars):
# agent-skills
A collection of agent skills usable across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and any tool that reads a shared `.agents/skills` directory. Each skill lives in its own directory with a single `SKILL.md` whose frontmatter tells the agent when to invoke it and what to do.
## Skills
- **[analyze-issue](analyze-issue/SKILL.md)** β Read a GitHub issue and produce a technical spec with scope, patterns, and MVP tests.
- **[browser-debugger-cli](browser-debugger-cli/SKILL.md)** β Inspect live pages via the Chrome DevTools Protocol through the `bdg` CLI. Token-efficient alternative to a full page snapshot.
- **[ci-fix-with-memory](ci-fix-with-memory/SKILL.md)** β Auto-invoke when CI is red. Reads handoffs and a known-issues log so the same fix isn't tried twice.
- **[cyoa](cyoa/SKILL.md)** β Choose Your Own Adventure mode. Frame the task as a branching story; every fork is a real design decision.
- **[dead-code-cleanup](dead-code-cleanup/SKILL.md)** β Find and remove orphaned code, stale stories, and trivial tests after verifying nothing uses them.
- **[ds-guard](ds-guard/SKILL.md)** β Audit styling changes against the project's design tokens and showcase. Flags hardcoded values, Tailwind utilities, and off-system tokens.
- **[github-screenshot](github-screenshot/SKILL.md)** β Generate GitHub-compatible image markdown via `raw.githubusercontent.com` URLs.
- **[kiss](kiss/SKILL.md)** β Strip a diff down to the minimum surface needed for its goal. Drops the "while I'm here" extras.
- **[post-merge](post-merge/SKILL.md)** β After a PR merges: close out linked issues, then recommend the single best next thing to work on.
- **[pr-review-fix-pipeline](pr-review-fix-pipeline/SKILL.md)** β Review a PR and apply fixes for the non-controversial issues in one pass.
- **[prioritize-issues](prioritize-issues/SKILL.md)** β Rank the backlog by value, effort, age, and roadmap fit. Returns a top-5 with specs for the top 3.
- **[skill-parity](skill-parity/SKILL.md)** β Keep skills in sync across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and shared `.agents/skills` paths.
- **[tdd-implement](tdd-implement/SKILL.md)** β Red-green-refactor. Tests track acceptance criteria, not implementation details.
- **[test-fix](test-fix/SKILL.md)** β Diagnose and fix failing tests with a hard 3-attempt limit per failure to avoid debugging spirals.
- **[test-workflow](test-workflow/SKILL.md)** β Pick and run the right suite (unit, E2E, visual, CSS lint) after a source edit, before commit.
- **[visual-crawl](visual-crawl/SKILL.md)** β Crawl the running app at random breakpoints, screenshot regressions, check token consistency.
- **[worktree-enhanced](worktree-enhanced/SKILL.md)** β Set up a git worktree with branch, dev-server detection, and project-

Description: Org-wide GitHub Actions denylist + reusable validation workflow
README (first 3000 chars):
# deny-actions-registry
Org-wide denylist of GitHub Actions versions that must never run in
`huggingface/*` workflows, plus a reusable validation workflow
enforced via an Organization Ruleset.
## What this protects against
Three classes of risk on every PR / push to `main`:
1. **Non-pinned actions** β `uses: foo/bar@v1` (mutable tag) is rejected.
Only 40-char commit SHAs are accepted. Enforced by [pinact].
2. **Comment / SHA mismatch** β `uses: foo/bar@<sha> # v1.2.3` where
the comment lies about the version is rejected.
3. **Known-compromised SHAs** β anything listed in `denylist.yaml`
(CVE-2025-30066 tj-actions, reviewdog supply-chain, etc.) is rejected.
[pinact]: https://github.com/suzuki-shunsuke/pinact
## How it's wired
```
Org Ruleset (Required workflow)
β
βΌ
deny-actions-registry/.github/workflows/validate.yml
β
ββββΊ pinact --check (pin + min_age + comment verify)
ββββΊ scripts/check.sh (denylist scan)
```
Every repo in scope inherits the check automatically β no per-repo file
to maintain.
## Files
| Path | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `denylist.yaml` | Source of truth for blocked SHAs |
| `.github/workflows/validate.yml` | Reusable workflow called by the org ruleset |
| `.github/workflows/advisory-sync.yml`| (TODO) Cron that auto-PRs new advisories |
| `scripts/check.sh` | Parses workflows + cross-checks denylist |
| `.pinact.yaml` | Self-pinning config for this repo |
| `.github/CODEOWNERS` | Required reviewers for denylist edits |
## Adding an entry
Open a PR editing `denylist.yaml`:
```yaml
- action: owner/repo
bad_shas:
- <40-char SHA>
bad_versions:
- v1.2.3
reason: "Short description of the incident"
advisory: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-...
severity: critical
added: YYYY-MM-DD
added_by: you@huggingface.co
```
CODEOWNERS will request review automatically.
## Adding a repo to the protection scope
Done via Organization Ruleset (preferred) β see
`Organization Settings β Repository β Rulesets β New ruleset`,
type *Branch*, target *all repositories* (or filtered by custom
property), rule *Require workflows to pass*, pointing to:
```
huggingface/deny-actions-registry/.github/workflows/validate.yml@<sha>
```
## Caller-side usage
While the org ruleset is the production path, repos can also call the
workflow directly:
```yaml
jobs:
security:
uses: huggingface/deny-actions-registry/.github/workflows/validate.yml@<sha>
```
## Visibility
This repo is **internal**. Keeping the denylist non-public avoids signaling
to attackers which SHAs are being monitored.

## Why EdgeCore Exists
In 2026, AI agents run production workflows. They answer questions, write code, orchestrate business processes. And yet β **every serious production deployment is locked inside a vendor's cloud.**
AWS Bedrock AgentCore. Google Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. Azure AI Foundry. Excellent products. But you do not control them. Your data lives on their infrastructure, under their policies, at their prices.
This is the same problem open source solved before:
```

Windows Server β Linux β Linux everywhere
VMware β KVM + containers β Kubernetes everywhere
AWS Bedrock β EdgeCore β Agents everywhere
```
**EdgeCore is the Kubernetes of AI agents** β open, self-hosted, Kubernetes-native, Apache 2.0. No rug-pull possible.

Speed up your Webpack build with [esbuild](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild)! π₯
[_esbuild_](https://github.com/evanw/esbuild) is a JavaScript bundler written in Go that supports blazing fast ESNext & TypeScript transpilation and [JS minification](https://github.com/privatenumber/minification-benchmarks/).
[_esbuild-loader_](https://github.com/privatenumber/esbuild-loader) lets you harness the speed of esbuild in your Webpack build by offering faster alternatives for transpilation (eg. `babel-loader`/`ts-loader`) and minification (eg. Terser)!
> [!TIP]
> **Are you using TypeScript with Node.js?**
>
> Supercharge your Node.js with TypeScript support using _tsx_!
>
> _tsx_ is a simple, lightweight, and blazing fast alternative to ts-node.

## π Install
```bash
npm i -D esbuild-loader
```
## π¦ Quick Setup
To leverage `esbuild-loader` in your Webpack configuration, add a new rule for `esbuild-loader` matching the files you want to transform, such as `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts`, or `.tsx`. Make sure to remove any other loaders you were using before (e.g. `babel-loader`/`ts-loader`).
Here's an example of how to set it up in your `webpack.config.js`:
```diff
module.exports = {
module: {
rules: [
- // Transpile JavaScript
- {
- test: /\.js$/,
- use: 'babel-loader'
- },
-
- // Compile TypeScript
- {
- test: /\.tsx?$/,
- use: 'ts-loader'
- },
+ // Use esbuild to compile JavaScript & TypeScript
+ {
+ // Match `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts` or `.tsx` files
+ test: /\.[jt]sx?$/,
+

<a href="https://npm.im/lintroll"><img src="https://badgen.net/npm/v/lintroll"></a>
</h2>
An opinionated JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue.js, React, etc. linter.
Powered by ESLint that's enhanced with 12 plugins, covering a wide scope including TypeScript, React, Vue.js, JSON & YAML, and even Markdown code blocks.
### Features
- **Streamlined syntax**: Single quotes, semicolons, tabs, and [arrow functions](./src/custom-rules/prefer-arrow-functions/) for a clear & intentional coding style.
- **Versatile language support**: Lints TypeScript, Vue.js, React, JSON & YAML, and even Markdown code blocks ensuring a wide scope of code.
- **CLI command** Comes with a quick and easy-to-use CLI command, which even supports `eslint.config.ts`.
- **ESLint config**: Also exports an ESLint config so you can itegrate it into your own config!
### What does the linted code look like?
Checkout the code fixtures from the passing tests [here](https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aprivatenumber%2Flintroll+path%3Atests%2F**%2Ffixtures%2Fpass*&type=code).
## Install
```sh
npm i -D lintroll
```
## Using as a CLI command
The `lintroll` command can be used as drop-in replacement for `eslint`, allowing you to lint your code with this config without any extra configuration.
#### Lint files in the current directory
```sh
lintroll
```
#### Apply auto fix
```sh
lintroll --fix
```
#### Lint with caching enabled
```sh
lintroll --cache
```
#### Lint only staged files
```sh
lintroll --staged
```
#### Lint only git tracked files
```sh
lintroll --git
```
#### Specify Node.js files
```sh
lintroll --node=./build
```
### Optional `package.json` script
Adding it to `package.json#scripts` allows you to simply run `npm run lint` (or `pnpm lint`) without needing to pass in the current directory (`.`) every time.
This also follows the best practice of documenting available commands in a central place.
```diff
"scripts": {
+ "lint": "lintroll .",
"build": "..."
"dev": "..."
}
```
### Configuration
If you'd like to customize the linting rules further, you can add one of these ESLint config files to your project root and `lint` will detect them automatically:
- `eslint.config.ts`: The typed version of the configuration file, ideal if you are working with TypeScript.
- `eslint.config.js`: A standard JavaScript file for ESLint configuration, suitable for projects not using TypeScript.
> [!NOTE]
> When creating your own ESLint config file, you must manually add the `pvtnbr` config. Read the section below to learn how.
