Spelling Check

We use cspell to automatically check for spelling mistakes in the docs, which helps prevent noisy review comments. This tool is integrated into IDEs, which highlight spelling errors similarly to other linting or quality issues. If you find that a word is not recognized, you have the option to add it to our dictionary which is included in version control. Examples of domain-specific but legitimate words that might be added include the term "Microproduct" itself.

Example: echo "microproduct" >> project-words.txt

Many IDEs support auto-fixing the issue. Here's what it looks like in VSCode:

Make sure to add to dictionary file and not just editor settings so that the change is picked up in the checker script and can be used by others.
