Asset Standards Validator

More than a linter — a standards layer for your whole UE5 project.

A linter tells you an asset name is wrong. ASV shows you that right inside the Content Browser, sorts it by priority, fixes it in bulk, and hands your lead a report on how clean the project is. Configured per studio, enforced everywhere.

• Fixes in bulk, not just flags — auto-fix hundreds of assets in one pass.
• Lives in your Content Browser — violation badges and filters right where you work, not in a separate console.
• Hands your lead a project-health report — exportable HTML audit with a health score and top issues.

Inspired by Allar's UE5 Style Guide.

How it differs from an ordinary linter

Ordinary linter	Asset Standards Validator
One fixed rule set	Configured per studio and per project
A flat list of errors	Sorted by priority P0–P3 and by rule
Fix by hand, one at a time	Batch auto-fix of hundreds of assets
Name checks only	Custom validators in C++ or Blueprint
Console output	HTML project-health report for the lead

Quick start

1. Open the panel — from the Tools menu, open Standards Validator.
2. Run Validation — click Run Validation in the panel toolbar to scan your assets.
3. Review & fix — issues are color-coded by severity; click one to jump to the asset, then use Fix or Fix Selected for auto-fixable problems.

Make it yours: set your own prefixes & folders · enable validators that are off by default · Content Browser filters, batch fix & asset icons.
