+### Resolve linting problems using ESLint directives
+
+Currently, the building process uses ESLint to validate linting problems in the
+code. Don't use `deno_lint` directives while working with internal Deno code and
+the std library.
+
+What would be:
+
+```typescript
+// deno-lint-ignore no-explicit-any
+let x: any;
+```
