lint-hook-awareness

Lint rules for Unreal Engine C++ files enforce specific style guidelines across .h and .cpp edits. The mechanical lint hook identifies auto-caught violations at write-time, distinguishing them from manual review items to reduce code review noise.

To know which C++ code style violations are auto-caught, review the reported lint violations after running a write or edit operation on a UE C++ file. The lint hook automatically detects specific style breaches, separating them from manual inspection items.

Yes, the UE C++ lint hook works in a containerized environment. It documents the scope of enforced rules, its triggers, and provides guidance on how to adjust or extend the lint rules within that specific container setup.

You can adjust or extend lint rules for Unreal Engine C++ code by accessing the configuration documentation within the containerized environment. This allows you to modify the scope and triggers of the style rules applied to .h and .cpp files.

Agents should use lint hook awareness when writing Unreal Engine C++ code to reduce review noise during onboarding and CI. It guides code reviews by clarifying which style violations are mechanically auto-caught versus those requiring manual attention.
