Covers invoking the vale CLI and interpreting its output — output formats, severity filtering, exit-code handling, and false-positive triage — for an already-configured project.
1.2 KiB
vale-run
Run Vale (a prose/style linter) against an already-configured project and interpret its results.
What it does
This skill covers invoking the vale CLI against files or directories, choosing an output format (human-readable CLI, line, or machine-parseable JSON), filtering by severity via --minAlertLevel, and handling exit codes in scripts and CI. It also covers resolving common runtime issues: false positives, format-specific inline suppression, and CI failures caused solely by Vale's non-zero exit code. It assumes the project already has a working .vale.ini and installed styles — setting those up is the sibling vale-config skill's job.
Usage
/vale-run
Describe what you want to lint and how (human-readable output, CI/JSON output, filtered by severity). The skill will pick the right flags and, if results include false positives, walk through the narrowest applicable fix.
