Note: The checks currently run on public repositories. This helps limit permissions for organizations with many repositories.

rules:
  master:
    level: off

    level: failure

Why

Complex and subtle configurations of sexist, racist, or ethnocentric language use in technical documents can derail or interfere with readers’ ability and desire to comprehend and follow important information.
