Prose Lint
Public Made by Adomby adom
Deterministic house-style linter for Adom copy. Flags em-dashes and the tics that make AI-written text read as AI-written (tell-words, boilerplate cadence, filler), with line:col, plain-language suggestions, --fix for safe swaps, and a --json envelope. Markdown/code-aware: never flags a --flag in a code span, a number range, or a URL.
