What it is
Sniff Test reads Markdown and plain text and checks it against your house rules. It prints one line per flag with the file, the line, the rule that tripped and how sure it is.
The homepage listed on the repository, npmjs.com, puts it like this: Does the draft pass the sniff test? A prose linter for your house rules.. Latest version: 0.2.0, last published: 10 days ago. Start using snifftest in your project by running `npm i snifftest`. There are no other projects in the npm registry using snifftest.
Where the decision sits
snifftest calls the hosted decision API rather than running its own weights. That keeps the project small and means its behaviour moves whenever the vendor ships a new model version. It also means an API key and a network round trip sit in the path of every decision.

We turn your historical decisions into a frozen test set, then tell you which model, which threshold, and how much of it you can safely automate.
