Repository Structure

/Microsoft
The YAML-based rule implementations that make up our style.
/fixtures
The individual unit tests. Each directory should be named after a rule found in /Microsoft and include its own .vale.ini file that isolates its target rule.
/features
The Cucumber Step Definitions we use to test our fixtures. Essentially, we use the aruba framework to test Vale's output after running it on each of our fixture directories.
