# Christoph Nakazawa

Christoph Nakazawa (nkzw-tech) is the author of `@nkzw/oxlint-config`, an opinionated Oxlint preset whose philosophy — "Error, Never Warn", strict consistent style, bug-pattern prevention, speed, and "don't get in the way" — makes it a reference implementation of a deterministic lint gate for agentic loops. [[source: nkzw-oxlint-config-2026]](/wiki/raw/articles/nkzw-oxlint-config-2026)

## Position

The config's README states its stance directly: "Warnings are noise and get ignored. Either it's an issue, or it isn't." Debug-only code such as `console.log` or `test.only` is disallowed "to avoid unintended logging in production or accidental CI failures", and slow rules are avoided — TypeScript's `noUnusedLocals` is preferred over `no-unused-vars`. [[source: nkzw-oxlint-config-2026]](/wiki/raw/articles/nkzw-oxlint-config-2026)

These choices operationalize the mechanical layer of [constraint layering](/wiki/constraint-layering) and supply the Tier 1 backpressure described in [agentic code quality](/wiki/agentic-code-quality).
