# /vale:setup

Command · Vale · UI085

Installs Vale (a writing checker), writes .vale.ini, downloads its style rules and does a first run. Only for a repo with no Vale setup yet.

## Prompt

```text
/vale:setup
```

**Skip it when:** Rewriting one paragraph by feel. Humanizer is quicker for that.

**Best for:** Checking every doc in a repo at once, and stopping new AI-sounding writing from creeping in.

**Notes:** First runs are loud (thousands of alerts, mostly semicolons, em dashes and lists of three), so run triage before fix.
