About:
Proseline is a linter for prose that checks for stylistic errors and non-inclusive language. It helps writers improve clarity, conciseness, and readability in their text. The tool integrates easily into text editors and CI pipelines.
Key Features:
  • Detects clichés, jargon, and redundant phrases
  • Identifies non-inclusive and biased language
  • Provides actionable suggestions for improvement
  • Configurable rules and ignore patterns
Use Cases:
  • Enforcing style guides in technical documentation
  • Reviewing blog posts or marketing copy for clarity
  • Automating editorial checks in CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • vale – Vale supports custom style guides and multiple formats, offering more flexibility than proselint
  • write-good – Write-good focuses on simplicity and passive voice detection, with a lighter rule set
