+## Linter Detection
+
+Detect the project linter by checking for configuration files. Run the linter on changed files only.
+
+### Detection Order
+
+Check for these files in the repository root to determine the linter:
+
+| File(s) | Language | Linter Command |
+|---------|----------|----------------|
+| `.eslintrc*`, `eslint.config.*` | JavaScript/TypeScript | `npx eslint <files>` |
+| `pyproject.toml` with `[tool.ruff]` | Python | `ruff check <files>` |
+| `ruff.toml`, `.ruff.toml` | Python | `ruff check <files>` |
+| `setup.cfg` with `[flake8]` | Python | `flake8 <files>` |
+| `.pylintrc`, `pylintrc` | Python | `pylint <files>` |
+| `go.mod` | Go | `golangci-lint run <files>` or `go vet <files>` |
+| `Cargo.toml` | Rust | `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` |
+| `.rubocop.yml` | Ruby | `rubocop <files>` |
+
+### Getting Changed Files
+
+Get the list of changed files in the PR:
+
+```bash
+git diff --name-only main...HEAD
+```
+
+Filter to only files matching the linter's language extension.
+
+### Running the Linter
+
+1. Only lint files that were changed in the PR
+2. Capture both stdout and stderr
+3. If linter is not installed, note this in the review (non-blocking)
+4. If no linter config is detected, skip linting and note "No linter configured"
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+# Get changed TypeScript files
+changed_files=$(git diff --name-only main...HEAD | grep -E '\.(ts|tsx|js|jsx)$')
+
+# Run ESLint if files exist
+if [ -n "$changed_files" ]; then
+  npx eslint $changed_files 2>&1
+fi
+```

 ## Verdict Criteria
 
 - **LGTM**: No blocking issues, code meets quality standards, ready to merge

+- **Needs Changes**: Minor issues worth addressing before merge (including lint issues)
 - **Blocking Issues**: Security vulnerabilities, logic errors, or missing critical functionality
 
+**Note**: Lint issues alone should result in "Needs Changes" at most, never "Blocking Issues".
+Lint issues are style/formatting concerns, not functional problems.

 ## Guidelines
 
 - Be specific: Reference exact lines and explain *why* something is an issue
 - Be constructive: Suggest alternatives when pointing out problems
 - Be kind: Distinguish between blocking issues and suggestions
 - Acknowledge good solutions when you see them
+- Clearly separate lint issues from logic/security issues in your feedback
