file_min_size

File must be at least min_bytes in size. Catches placeholder / stub files that pass existence checks but add no information (a 0-byte LICENSE, a README.md with only a title).

Options

Option	Type	Required	Default	Description
min_bytes	integer (>= 0)	yes		Minimum allowed file size in bytes.

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

Example

A stub file below the byte floor

The rule fires on this repository:

healthy.md
tiny.txt

healthy.md

# Healthy doc

This document has more than fifty bytes of content, well
above the minimum. A short README reads like a stub.

tiny.txt

too short

With this .alint.yml:

version: 1
rules:
  - id: min-50
    kind: file_min_size
    paths: ["**/*.txt", "**/*.md"]
    min_bytes: 50
    level: warning

alint check reports:

--- tiny.txt -------------------------------------------------------------------
  !  warning  min-50
              file below 50 byte(s) (actual: 10)

Summary (1 violation):
  ! 1 warning
  0 passing * 1 failing

A file that clears the byte floor

This repository is compliant:

README.md

README.md

# demo

A short but non-stub README.

With this .alint.yml:

version: 1
rules:
  - id: min-10
    kind: file_min_size
    paths: "**/*.md"
    min_bytes: 10
    level: warning

alint check reports:
