# 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 "^\`\`\`$" posts/
```
