Automated code quality checks on file edits are handled by Plankton, which integrates multiple linters and formatters directly within Claude Code. It enforces write-time formatting and linting to ensure your code remains clean and consistent across multiple languages.

Automated Python and TypeScript formatting requires specific linters including ruff, biome, and uv. You must set up these core dependencies and configure your Python environment before running Claude within the Plankton directory for write-time enforcement.

Yes, Claude subprocesses can fix linting issues missed by standard linters. Plankton leverages Claude's capabilities to automatically resolve code issues not caught by integrated tools like ruff or biome during file edits.

Yes, Plankton supports shell script linting and formatting alongside Python and TypeScript. It integrates shellcheck and shfmt to manage write-time code quality enforcement across shell scripts, YAML, markdown, and Dockerfiles.

If automated formatting is not working, verify that all required linters and formatters like ruff, biome, shellcheck, and yamllint are installed. Proper Python environment setup is required for functionality, and you must run Claude within the Plankton directory.

Write-time code quality enforcement applies formatting and linting as you edit files, rather than waiting for a commit. Plankton handles code formatting, linting, and fixes immediately on file edits in Claude Code, ensuring continuous consistency across multiple languages.
