I don’t think so? But you might be interest in these options.

I found these links in this articles(blog post).

This is an interesting writing tool/project.

I did a down and dirty implementation into BBEdit by putting this script into 
'/Users/chris/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Scripts/' .

Check Prose.rb
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

doc = ENV[ 'BB_DOC_PATH' ]

`osascript -e 'tell application "BBEdit" to tell text document 1 to save'`

`which proselint`

if $?.success?
        exec "proselint '#{doc}' | bbresults"
else
        abort "You might need to install 
proselint.\nhttp://https://github.com/amperser/proselint/\nhttp://proselint.com\n$
 brew install proselint"
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know it isn’t what you are looking for but maybe you will find some of this 
useful.
