- For
- OpenAPI maintainers and API tooling contributors
- Worth noticing
- The project separates its specification, linting tools, and community governance into distinct public concerns.
Field notes
The page presents OpenLint as a community fork of Spectral, with a deliberately broader governance model around API linting. Its stated structure has three parts: a ruleset-conformance specification, tooling that can operate as a library, CLI, CI gate, or IDE integration, and the community responsible for carrying both. The visible site remains an early public marker rather than a usable documentation portal, with the roadmap and working specification still in progress.
