Claude loads it when the task matches- ci
Run Vale in GitHub Actions, a pre-commit hook, or another runner. Use when the user says "add vale to CI", "run vale on PRs", "add a pre-commit hook", or "make the build fail on style errors".
- fix
Run Vale, fix error-level alerts, and open a pull request per file. Use when the user says "run vale", "fix vale errors", "lint the docs", "fix the linter", or "make vale pass". Fixes errors only; leaves warnings and suggestions for a person.
- setup
Install Vale, write a .vale.ini, sync styles, and get a first run. Use when the user says "set up vale", "add vale", "add prose linting", or "lint our docs" in a repository that has no Vale config yet.
- triage
Turn a large first Vale run into a decision per rule — fix, downgrade, or switch off. Use when the user says "too many alerts", "where do we start", "vale is too noisy", or has just added Vale to an existing corpus.
- vocab
Add project terms to a Vale vocabulary so spell check accepts them. Use when the user says "vale doesn't know our product name", "stop flagging this word", or spelling alerts are firing on correct terms.
