Thanks for mentioning 'org-lint'. I just ran it on my agenda files, and it found multiple errors in most of my (very long) files. So at least for me (and likely for other Org users as well), the risk of missing TODO items is real - that's a rather serious problem for a task manager! My agenda files are populated using 'org-capture'. Do you have suggestions how to best integrate org-lint transparently into everyday org usage? For example, files could be linted automatically before they are saved, or before a new item is captured.
