# Content Linter

Comprehensive content checking for spelling, language consistency, and
writing quality.

## Quick Start

Run the project's spell checker:

```bash
npm run cspell
```

For specific files:

```bash
npx cspell 'posts/*.md' --config cspell.json
```

## Key Checks

1. **Spelling** - Run cspell on markdown files
2. **en-GB** - Verify British spellings (colour, organisation)
3. **Vague language** - Flag "very", "really", "quite"
4. **Code blocks** - Ensure language identifiers present

## Quick Grep Checks

```bash
# Find American spellings
grep -rE "\b(color|organization|behavior)\b" posts/

# Find vague language
grep -rE "\b(very|really|quite|basically)\b" posts/

# Find code blocks without language
grep -E "^\`\`\`
quot; posts/
```
