Intel Lint

Intel Lint is a local-first analyzer for CTI report review (claims extraction, evidence checks, bias signals). It is designed for single-user local processing of sensitive reports.

For Users (Recommended)

1. Install Ollama: https://ollama.com/download
2. Download IntelLint from GitHub Releases for your platform.
3. Run IntelLint.
   • The app binds to 127.0.0.1 and opens the local web UI automatically.
4. In the Setup page, click Pull FenkoHQ/Foundation-Sec-8B.
5. Use the app from the local UI.

Local storage (user data dir):

• Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\\intel-lint
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/intel-lint
• Linux: ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/intel-lint

The user data dir stores local config, outputs, logs, and cache.

Privacy & local-first

• In ENGINE=ollama mode, model inference is local through your Ollama service.
• No telemetry is required for normal local operation.
• This is intended for sensitive CTI reporting workflows where data should remain local.

For Developers

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python scripts/run.py setup --frontend
python scripts/run.py app
python scripts/build_release.py

Notes:

• npm install is dev-only and is handled by python scripts/run.py setup --frontend.
• The dev UI is http://127.0.0.1:5173 and proxies API calls to the local backend.

Placeholder Mode (Tests/Smoke Only)

Placeholder engine is for CI/tests/smoke checks only; output quality is limited versus LLM mode.

python -m pytest

Local Data Wipe

1. Close IntelLint.
2. Delete the intel-lint user data directory for your OS path above.

Developer Notes

• .env.example is optional for development overrides.
