Can anyone please give an idea on enforcing One Sentence Per line?

One sentence per line actually helps with git diffs hence we are planning to enforce this.

Something like this should work:

extends: occurrence
message: "Only use one sentence per line."
level: error
scope: paragraph
max: 1
token: '[.!?](?: |$)'

You could also use script for more fine-grained control.

It seems that if there are multiple occurrences, this catches only one; not necessarily the first.

Please, are we missing something obvious?

It should report the first occurrence in each line -- which is all it takes to break the rule of max: 1.

If you want to report everything, you'll need to use existence:

extends: existence
message: "Only use one sentence per line."
level: error
scope: paragraph
nonword: true
tokens:
  - '[.!?](?: |$)[A-Z]'

(Untested, but the basic idea is there.)
