docs-style-checker

docs-style-checker is an agent for Claude Code from ihudak/ihudak-claude-plugins. It costs 128 tokens per session (3,750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing-quality checker for documentation files. It uses the documentation project's configured prose rules and, when available, an additional checker for meaning and consistency between pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running checks on files created by the /document command, combining results from multiple checkers, and removing duplicate findings.
Why use it?
It catches style and consistency problems before a reviewer or continuous-integration check finds them. This lets reviewers focus more on whether the documentation is correct and complete.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: mentions subagents.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docs-style-checker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Run the docs repo's project-configured prose linter on a set of files, and ALSO (when available) run prose-style-checker as a complementary semantic / cross-page-consistency pass. Merge and dedupe their findings into a single reviewer finding schema.

Invoked from /document (keyed mode, Phase 6.4) and /document (direct mode, Phase 3.5), after the files are written and before doc-reviewer. Catching corporate-style issues locally frees the doc-reviewer (Opus) to spend its attention budget on correctness and completeness rather than prose policing, and ensures the eventual PR doesn't bounce on CI style checks.

Rationale

Corporate style guides (Microsoft, Google, and various organisation-specific variants) are encoded as Vale style packages maintained by each organisation's docs team, not by this plugin. The docs repo references them via .vale.ini (BasedOnStyles = …). Re-encoding or crawling the corporate style-guide site would duplicate the canonical source and drift. Wrapping the repo's existing tooling guarantees the local check matches what CI will run on the PR.

Why ALSO run prose-style-checker when a primary linter is available (since v1.7.1): empirical verification showed the two are complementary, not overlapping:

Class of finding Vale catches prose-style-checker catches
Lexical (banned words, contractions, hyphens) ✅ at scale partial
Em-dash spacing, sentence length
Missing frontmatter fields (navigation:, title length)
Engineer jargon (latest-minus-one, LTS-1) ❌ no rule ✅ MAJOR
Cross-page label consistency (e.g. "Settings > Updates" across N pages) ✅ MAJOR
Subject-verb agreement, misplaced modifier ✅ MINOR
Plural/singular UI-label mismatch (update window vs update windows) ✅ MAJOR

Running ONLY the primary linter (because it exists) misses the semantic / cross-page class. Running ONLY prose-style-checker duplicates work and is slower at lexical. Chaining both — primary first, prose-style-checker complementary — covers both classes without rework.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
