Text Quality

Find text issues and automatically fix them.

Text Auditor scans user-facing text sources — CLI output, error messages, documentation, and help text — for typos, grammatical errors, unclear messages, and inconsistent terminology. Text Beautifier picks up those reports and opens a PR with concrete fixes. Most runs of either workflow end with noop.

Quick install

Text Beautifier (fixer)

Picks up open issues filed by the Text Auditor (labeled text-auditor or with [text-auditor] in the title), applies the suggested text fixes, and opens a PR. Only acts on concrete, unambiguous fixes — skips anything requiring design decisions.
