Vale Rule Configuration

Purpose

This skill guides CI/Quality Engineers in writing, testing, and maintaining Vale style linting rules for the InfluxData documentation. It covers Vale's regex engine, rule syntax, configuration files, and best practices for creating effective style rules.

Use this skill when:

• Writing new Vale rules (existence, substitution, etc.)
• Debugging Vale rule patterns that aren't working
• Understanding Vale's regex capabilities
• Configuring Vale for product-specific style guides
• Managing vocabulary and branding terms

For content editors who just need to run Vale and fix issues, see the content-editing skill instead.
