It combines three capabilities: a linter that catches common Tcl errors (like redundant command substitution or incorrect argument counts), a code formatter that enforces consistent style, and a language server protocol (LSP) implementation that connects Tcl to mainstream editors. The tool accepts file or directory paths, recursively searches for .tcl, .sdc, .xdc, and .upf files, and reports violations with line and column numbers.\n\nThe package depends on ply for parsing, pygls for LSP support, and several utility libraries for configuration and plugin management. It targets Python 3.10+ and is distributed as a pure-Python wheel, making installation straightforward. The tool supports a plugin system for EDA tool-specific commands and reads configuration from tclint.toml or .tclint files in parent directories.","worth_installing":"Yes. tclint fills a clear gap for Tcl developers who lack modern linting and formatting tools. Low install friction, active maintenance, permissive MIT license, no known vulnerabilities, and practical editor integration make it a solid choice for anyone working with Tcl code. Install via pipx for isolation or pip directly into your project environment."},"id":"tclint","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tclint","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/tclint.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/tclint/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-01","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"tclint","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A CLI utility for linting and analyzing Tcl code."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":94666,"position":13317,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.0"}
