file_min_lines

File must have at least min_lines lines (\n-terminated, with an unterminated trailing segment counting as one more — wc -l semantics). Use for “README has more than a title and a TODO”.

Options

Option	Type	Required	Default	Description
min_lines	integer (>= 0)	yes		Minimum allowed line count.

Plus the common paths, level, id, and when fields. This table is generated from the JSON Schema; option types and defaults are authoritative.
