Cause (Documented platform behavior): Next.js 16 removed the next lint command and the eslint option in next.config; next build no longer runs linting.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Creating a lint/ directory or fixing paths — the command itself no longer exists
Limitations:
- Error text via WebFetch summary of shadcn-ui#9155; the Commander default-command routing explanation came from a search snippet and is not relied on
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/next.js/0423222b7eb3a1373b5bff4c939fd69858928993/docs/01-app/02-guides/upgrading/version-16.mdx (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Removals: next lint command removed (use Biome or ESLint directly); next build no longer runs linting; codemod next-lint-to-eslint-cli; eslint option in next.config removed; @next/eslint-plugin-next defaults to flat config.
- https://github.com/shadcn-ui/ui/issues/9155 (github_issue, 2025-12-19, reported_symptom): Fresh shadcn Next.js monorepo on next 16.0.10: pnpm lint runs next lint and fails with 'Invalid project directory provided, no such directory: .../apps/web/lint'; fix proposed in PR #9159.
Search phrasings: next lint Invalid project directory provided no such directory lint; next 16 next lint removed; npm run lint next 16 eslint flat config

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Lint step exits immediately with a directory-not-found error naming a 'lint' subfolder; CI lint jobs fail (or appear to do nothing) and next build no longer lints.
- Context
- Product: Next.js Component: next CLI Operation: Running a package.json script "lint": "next lint" (templates, monorepos, CI) after upgrading to Next 16 Affected versions: next>=16.0.0 Environment: unknown Packages: next >=16.0.0 (reported 16.0.10) Trigger: Invoking next lint on Next 16: the unknown subcommand is treated as a positional project directory for the default command.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Next.js 16] 'npm run lint' (next lint) fails with misleading 'Invalid project directory provided, no such directory: <app>/lint' — next lint command removed
Recommended action: Run the codemod npx @next/codemod@canary next-lint-to-eslint-cli . or change the script to "lint": "eslint ." with an eslint.config.mjs (flat config) using eslint-config-next; remove eslint:{} from next.config.
