vale

brew install vale v3.15.1 MIT

Command-line linter for prose that checks writing style, grammar, and consistency using customizable rules.

Why you might care

Vale brings linting discipline to documentation, blogs, and content workflows—catching style violations before publication. It's fast (Go binary), integrates into CI/CD pipelines, and supports extensible rule sets via YAML configuration, making it ideal for teams enforcing consistent voice across docs. Works on Markdown, AsciiDoc, reStructuredText, and plain text.
