env-lint

name	env-lint
description	Use when checking .env, .env.local, .env.production, or other environment files against .env.example without printing environment variable values.

Rule

Never print environment variable values. Report key names only.

Workflow

1. Run the default key-parity check:

python3 /Users/akoken/Developer/repos/dotfiles/config/codex/skills/env-lint/scripts/envlint.py --format md

2. For explicit files:

python3 /Users/akoken/Developer/repos/dotfiles/config/codex/skills/env-lint/scripts/envlint.py --example .env.example --env .env.local --format md

3. Interpret exit codes:

   • 0: all required keys present
   • 1: required key missing

4. Triage results:

   • missing keys that block local/dev/prod startup
   • extra keys that look stale
   • empty keys that require user-provided values

Boundaries

• Do not print values.
• Do not ask the user to paste secret values into chat.
• Do not modify env files unless the user explicitly asks.
