Usage: python3 tools/check_headers.py # check all git-tracked files python3 tools/check_headers.py FILE... # check specific files Rules enforced (see CLAUDE.md §0.1): * Comment-style sources (.py .sh .zsh .yaml .yml .toml .cff Makefile CMakeLists.txt) must contain the '#'-style header block near the top. * C-family sources (.c .cpp .h .hpp .metal .swift .m .mm) must contain the '//'-style header block near the top. * Markdown documents must begin with YAML front matter declaring project/author/contact. * A shebang line may precede the header. Exemptions: generated results under results/, LICENSE, .gitignore is checked (it supports comments), CLAUDE.md (the charter predates the convention and is the specification itself).
