# vale

[**vale**](https://vale.sh/) is a linter for prose.

You can enable the vale linter with:

```shell
trunk check enable vale
```

## Auto Enabling

vale will be auto-enabled if a `.vale.ini` config file is present.

## Settings

vale supports the following config files:

* `.vale.ini`

You can move these files to `.trunk/configs` and `trunk check` will still find them. See [Moving Linters](https://docs.trunk.io/code-quality/overview/configure-linters#moving-linters) for more info. Trunk Code Quality provides a default `.vale.ini` if your project does not already have one.
