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. Refs #99

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.
