Inclusive & Bias Language Checker

Modern engineering teams are retiring terms like "whitelist", "master/slave", and "sanity check". This tool scans your docs and code comments, flags non-inclusive language with two severity tiers, and suggests industry-standard alternatives.

Introduction

Inclusive naming is now an industry standard (IETF, major style guides, and the inclusive-naming initiative). This tool makes adoption practical by catching legacy terms and offering ready alternatives.

How it works

  • Word-boundary, case-insensitive matching against a curated database.
  • Two severity tiers with context-aware alternatives.
  • Optional apply-replacements for a fixed version.
  • Highlighted view so nothing is changed silently.

Privacy

All scanning is local. No upload, no account, no API key.

Limitations

  • May flag terms in legacy-code contexts where renaming breaks compatibility.
  • Does not analyze pronoun usage or deep semantic bias.

FAQ

Why "Consider" instead of "Avoid" for some terms?

Some terms are acceptable in certain contexts. "Consider" prompts a human review rather than a blind replacement.
