What problem does it solve? Prose written on your behalf — skill bodies, docs, commit messages, PR text, release notes, outbound drafts — often ships with style violations and AI tells that a deterministic gate would have caught. This Skill runs the Vale prose gate where it exists, degrades gracefully where it does not, and assigns every finding a disposition instead of silently rewriting your text. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deterministic gate detection: Probes for a make prose-lint target or local Vale binary, classifies the gate state (full gate, binary only, target only, absent), and reports gaps plainly without blocking the session. - Finding dispositions: Every error-level finding gets exactly one disposition — fix, suppress with recorded justification, or promote as a config proposal to the gate owner. - Judgment pass and optional scoring: Reads prose for tells no rule covers (hedging stacks, filler, formulaic transitions), and optionally scores dimensions via jev when explicitly requested and the draft is not confidential. - Use Case: Before merging a PR, run the lint over changed Markdown files; receive a report listing each Vale finding with its disposition, judgment-pass tells, and rewrite-shaped findings handed back to the prose owner. ## Quick Start Run a prose lint over the changed files in my working tree and report each finding with its disposition.
