Research direction

Start by reviewing the in-solidarity-bot repository and the linked SAP project check example to understand the proposed workflow. Then identify how this repository stores and validates its patterns; done means the patterns are covered by an agreed automated inclusive-language check.

Description

:gear: Type - Meta

I saw in another project that they were automatically checking the writing for inclusive language using the in-solidarity-bot.
That seems like a great idea, and something that we should apply to our patterns to, in order to make sure that everybody feels welcome and motivated to contribute.

I don't know exactly how these work but this is what I found in the other project:
