Hi Oscar, Just to echo what the others have said, yes this is doable with a plugin that checks the `lines` parameter.
Over the last year or so I've been working on a Flake8 plugin. I used Ian's documentation for plugin development **plus** I referred a lot to flake8-author (https://github.com/jparise/flake8-author/) a small plugin that I found. My plugin uses both lines and AST passed from Flake8 - here https://github.com/jamescooke/flake8-aaa/blob/master/src/flake8_aaa/checker.py#L24 you can see the `Checker.__init__()` has the `lines` parameter Ian mentioned. This means that Flake8 passes the lines in each file it checks when initialising the class. That will then allow you to build a `run()` function to count those lines and raise errors as required. I also found that pytest-flake8dir (https://github.com/adamchainz/pytest-flake8dir) was helpful when I was getting started, although I don't use it any more. Hope that's helpful.
