name: biome-lint-format description: Set up Biome for fast linting and formatting in JavaScript/TypeScript projects, including editor integration, package scripts, optional pre-commit hooks, and migration from ESLint + Prettier. Use when adding or standardizing lint/format tooling, replacing ESLint/Prettier, or troubleshooting Biome configuration and workflow issues.
Biome Lint Format
Set up Biome with a consistent workflow and minimal friction.
Workflow
- Confirm project context:
- Package manager
- JavaScript/TypeScript scope
- Keep ESLint/Prettier or migrate fully
- Need Tailwind CSS directive support
- Need pre-commit hooks
Install Biome and create baseline configuration.
Add project scripts for lint/format/check/ci flows.
Configure editor integration (VS Code) if requested.
Add optional pre-commit checks with Husky + lint-staged if requested.
If migrating from ESLint + Prettier, remove old config carefully and run a first auto-fix pass.
Validate setup by running check commands and confirming CI command behavior.
Reference Map
Load only the reference needed for the current request:
references/setup.mdUse for installation, baselinebiome.json, scripts, VS Code setup, pre-commit setup, and command examples.references/migration.mdUse only when migrating from ESLint + Prettier or running a hybrid temporary setup.references/troubleshooting.mdUse for config detection issues, editor conflicts, schema/version mismatches, and performance tuning.references/rule-customization.mdUse only when the user asks for concrete rule customizations.
Guardrails
- Keep
SKILL.mdshort and procedural; store details in references. - Use
biome checkas the default all-in-one command. - Do not claim Biome replaces
tsctype checking.
