+The @command{guix lint} is meant to help package developers avoid common
+errors and use a consistent style. It runs a few checks on a given set of
+packages in order to find common mistakes in their definitions.
+
+The general syntax is:
+
+@example
+guix lint @var{options} @var{package}@dots{}
+@end example
+
+If no package is given on the command line, then all packages are checked.
+The @var{options} may be zero or more of the following:

+@table @code
+
+@item --list-checkers
+@itemx -l
+List and describe all the available checkers that will be run on packages
