+## Code Quality
+
+### Linting
+
+Use **golangci-lint** for code quality checks. Configuration in `.golangci.yml`.
+
+**Linters enabled:**
+- **errcheck** - Checks for unchecked errors
+- **govet** - Reports suspicious constructs
+- **ineffassign** - Detects ineffectual assignments
+- **staticcheck** - Comprehensive static analysis
+- **unused** - Checks for unused code
+- **revive** - Fast, configurable linter (golint replacement)
+- **misspell** - Finds commonly misspelled English words
+- **gosec** - Inspects for security problems
+- **bodyclose** - Checks HTTP response body is closed
+- **goconst** - Finds repeated strings that could be constants
+- **gocyclo** - Checks cyclomatic complexity (threshold: 15)
+
+**Running the linter:**
+```bash
+# Standalone
+golangci-lint run --timeout=5m
+
+# Integrated with build (via scripts/run)
+./scripts/run [command]
+```
+
+**CI Integration:**
+- Linting runs automatically on all PRs via `.github/workflows/build.yml`
+- Build fails if linter finds issues (blocking)
+- In local development (`scripts/run`), linting runs but is non-blocking to allow rapid iteration
+
 ### Release Model
 
 Coded in `.github/workflow/release.yml` and `.github/workflow/build.yml`.
