# Policy for actionlint's features

- actionlint focuses on detecting mistakes. Feature requests and patches for checks related to code style or
conventions are generally not accepted.
- actionlint tries to keep [the configuration](docs/config.md) as minimal as possible. Feature requests and patches
to for checks that require user configurations are generally not accepted.

These are important to keep actionlint useful and convenient for everyone. I believe that no one wants to create and
maintain a heavy configuration file just for linting CI workflows.

It's helpful to check if a similar patch has been rejected in the past before submitting it.
