# vale <path>

Command · Vale · UI090

The Vale checker itself, run in a terminal from the repo's main folder.

## Prompt

```text
vale docs/
```

**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.
