This package is a companion to the `@a11yfred/neighbor` ESLint and Stylelint plugins. It provides prose linting rules focused on accessibility and inclusive language. Specifically, it flags language patterns that affect readability, comprehension, and inclusion, such as: - Ableist terms and suffering framing (SC 3.1.1) - Disability metaphors - Opaque English idioms and business jargon (SC 3.1.5) - Directional layout references (SC 1.3.3) - ALL CAPS prose - Bare ampersands
Updated the description for the 'neighbor' entry to clarify its purpose regarding accessibility and inclusive language.

Hi team! 👋
I’m submitting the neighbor package to the official library. It brings dedicated accessibility and inclusive language linting to Vale, flagging ableist terms, complex idioms, and directional layout references (which fail WCAG).
Rather than a one-off set of rules, this config is automatically generated from the a11yfred/neighbor ecosystem, meaning it shares a heavily researched, actively maintained source of truth with our ESLint and Stylelint plugins.
Checks should be passing! Let me know if you need anything else.
