# 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: .agents/ operations/ plans/

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.** The sibling repo `dtoro/caddy-conf` is not part of this checkout,
> so links into it produce false positives — expected, not a bug.
> Any other broken link is a real regression; investigate before dismissing it as baseline noise.
