Defame1297 ff187ef9fc refactor(lint): retrofit vale-run to the ADR-0020 context contract
Description 654 -> 294 chars, Gotchas 36% -> 19%. Body 698 -> 642 words:
up from the first pass, because a clean-context audit found four defects
whose fixes are net-additive text.

The suppression-markup warning covered only one of the two paths that
write it -- the list is case-based, so a recurring false positive goes
straight to step 3 and never read step 2's warning. Hoisted above both.

The CI-failure trigger, which the description advertises, had no path to
the file holding its answer: the negative diagnosis 'if the alerts are
warnings, Vale is not what failed the build' survived only in
troubleshooting.md, which no CI-entered invocation loads. An agent would
confidently prescribe --no-exit for a failure Vale never caused.

The description had lost every prose-domain word -- no 'prose', no
'linter' -- while vale-config kept all of them, so 'check prose style'
routed to the wrong skill of the pair.

Accepts two soft SUGGESTIONs rather than dropping restored content;
neither fails the gate.

# 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.
