§1. Inpolicy is not part of the main Inform compiler and is not shipped inside the Inform apps. Instead, it's used as a stand-alone command-line tool by the maintainers of Inform: it is a lint-like tool for checking that the Inform source code complies with some self-imposed social norms. At present it's fairly minimal, but does a useful job in checking whether problem messages are covered by test cases.

At present, there's no formal style guide for the source code in this repository. There probably ought to be one, and when that happens, Inpolicy should probably check compliance with it.

Inpolicy is a small literate program, and is not divided into modules.

• ● The contents page for the Inpolicy web is here: inpolicy.
• ● See Manual (in inpolicy) and Reference Card (in inpolicy) for usage.

§2. Inpolicy contains the basic foundation library, but none of the services.
