This is very cool and needed, thank you.

Could you include a sample .proselintrc? rc files tend to have very different opinions on how to be formatted: dictionaries, JSON, bash-argument syntax, and so on. (EDIT: Ah, found one: https://github.com/amperser/proselint/blob/cd428bb0ecc5530c1.... Can’t quite get it to ignore butterick, though.)

I find it a little curious that you use a Markdown example and lint for curly quotes and unicode ellipses by default (butterick), since Markdown discourages such pre-formatting in its syntax, but that’s just hairsplitting, of which I can tell by your swelling Issues count that you have plenty of as it is. :)

Looking forward to some formatting/syntax highlighting in the CLI output, but I know you have your hands full as it is.
