proselint is a command-line linter for English prose that scans text files for style, usage, and clarity issues based on advice from renowned writers and editors. It aggregates writing best practices into automated checks that can be integrated into scripts, editors, and pre-commit workflows.
Use cases
- lint prose in markdown files for style errors
- check blog posts for cliches and redundancy
- enforce writing style guides in CI
- improve documentation wording automatically
- catch misspellings and usage errors in essays
- integrate prose checks into pre-commit hooks
When to choose
- you write English prose and want automated style feedback
- you want to enforce writing best practices in CI or editors
- you prefer a lightweight command-line text checker over grammar services
When to avoid
- you need full grammar checking or multilingual support
