agent-lisp-paren-aid
♥Cherished
A command-line tool that validates parenthesis matching in Lisp code generated by AI coding agents, pinpointing lines with missing or excess closing parentheses. It leverages Emacs re-indentation to detect structural mismatches that LLMs frequently produce, making it essential for developers using agents to generate Emacs Lisp or other S-expression-based code.
