Why it matters

As AI agents move into production codebases, enforcing consistent architectural patterns becomes critical. konsistent fills a gap between what TypeScript and ESLint can model — giving both agents and human developers deterministic, enforceable conventions at the structural level.

The key facts

8 to know
  1. konsistent is now open source

  2. CLI linter for TypeScript codebases

  3. Enforces structural conventions (not just lint rules)

  4. Covers patterns TypeScript and ESLint don't model

  5. Configuration via konsistent.json project-level files

  6. Used in Vercel AI SDK and Chat SDK

  7. Designed to help AI agents generate correct code structure

  8. Deterministic and fast execution
