Optimize Your Writing: Sniff Test AI Linter for Perfect Prose

Optimize Your Writing: Sniff Test AI Linter for Perfect Prose

The Sniff Test AI Linter is an advanced tool for analyzing and refining text drafts according to predefined house rules. This AI agent skill, compatible with coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, evaluates Markdown and text files against a customizable YAML ruleset to ensure compliance with your writing standards.

What this skill does

• Processes drafts handed via /snifftest command, checking them against the user's specified house rules.
• Provides a detailed report on rule violations, indicating the rule breached, the line in question, and the confidence level of the checker.
• Utilizes regular expressions for countable rules such as word count, banned words, and sentence structure, which run locally without any external data transfer.
• Evaluates judgment rules, requiring text analysis, by safely sending text to a model only upon explicit user consent.

Who it is for

This skill is ideal for developers and teams using AI coding agents who need consistent quality control in their writing, ensuring adherence to stylistic or editorial guidelines. It helps maintain high standards in documentation, reports, and similar outputs.

Use cases

• Technical writers refining documents to match a company's editorial style without manual proofreading.
• Developers ensuring code documentation adheres to specific linguistic standards before publication.
• Content creators checking drafts against predefined lists of banned expressions or stylistic policies.

Technical details

• Compatible with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
• Operates by executing a script located in the skill's directory: regular checks via sh "/scripts/run.sh" path/to/draft.md and judgment checks via sh "/scripts/run.sh" --judge path/to/draft.md.
• Supports both countable rules processed locally and judgment rules processed externally upon user confirmation.
