# Docs lint

Check committed documentation against the mechanical rules in
[writing-style.md](../../shared/writing-style.md): banned vocabulary and broken relative markdown
links. Prose-voice rules are not machine-checkable — those stay a review responsibility.

Run from the repo root:

    python3 .agents/skills/docs-lint/lint.py            # default: knowledge/ .agents/ operations/ investigations/ plans/
    python3 .agents/skills/docs-lint/lint.py archive/knowledge/containers/104-gitea.md

Exit code is non-zero when any violation is found, so it can gate a commit. The banned-vocabulary
list mirrors `writing-style.md`; update both together if the standard changes.

> **Known baseline.** `archive/knowledge/containers/101-jellyfin.md` links into a sibling repo
> (`devops/homelab-authentik-admin`) that this checkout does not contain — expected, not a bug.
> Any other broken link is a real regression; investigate before dismissing it as baseline noise.
