Vale

Open-source prose linter that enforces style guides in the repo and CI.

About this tool

Vale is a command-line linter for natural language. Design-engineer and docs teams check Markdown and UI copy in pull requests against a YAML style guide — Microsoft, Google, or a custom package.

It is the right tool when words live in git. It will not help a writer who only works in Figma. Pair it with a human edit; a passing lint is not the same as a good sentence.
