⚙️ How Mintlify uses Vale

Mintlify ships two CI checks: one for broken links, one for prose. The prose one is Vale.

Flip on the Grammar linter add-on and it runs on your pull requests — as a Warning that notes what it found, or as Blocking when the prose has to be right before the merge.

Bring a .vale.ini and they use it, or take their default and start with a style already tuned for MDX.
