About:
cargo-spellcheck is a documentation linter for Rust projects that verifies spelling and grammar in comments and docstrings. It leverages multiple backends, including Hunspell and NLP tools, to catch errors in technical writing. The tool integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines to maintain high-quality documentation.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple backends (Hunspell, NLP)
  • Checks code comments, docstrings, and markdown files
  • Provides suggestions for fixing errors
  • Configurable linting rules and dictionaries
  • CI/CD integration for automated checks
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing documentation quality in Rust projects
  • Automating spell checks in CI pipelines
  • Reviewing technical writing in open-source documentation
Alternatives:
  • typos – A fast spell checker written in Rust, but less focused on grammar and NLP features
  • codespell – Python-based tool for fixing common misspellings, but lacks Rust-specific doc parsing
