- Oxlint replaces ESLint, supporting ESLint plugins via a shim and offering type-aware lint rules.
- @nkzw/oxlint-config provides a strict, fast, and comprehensive linting setup to improve code quality and LLM performance.
- Small optimizations include npm-run-all2 for parallel script execution and ts-node for fast TypeScript execution in Node.js.
