Lint prose for hedging

jq numbers the lines. filter keeps the lines that hedge, and each comes back as it went in, line number and all.

draft.txt, a file the script reads

The export runs every night at two.
It might possibly be worth considering a retry.
Failed rows go to a separate file.
We think this should probably work for most users.
Each row keeps its id.

The two hedging lines come back with their line numbers.

question="Does this sentence hedge?"

jq -cR '{line: input_line_number, text: .}' draft.txt |
thinkthen filter "$question" \
  --batch 1 \
  --jsonl \
  --field /text |
jq -r '"\(.line): \(.text)"'
