FAQPage Schema
How do I automate validation checks before publishing a blog post?▼

Automated pre-publish validation runs checks on your blog post to catch missing frontmatter, lingering TODOs, invalid dates, and structural issues before deployment. The blog-publishing Skill executes these checks through a Python script, ensuring your post meets technical and quality standards automatically.

What frontmatter fields does the blog publishing workflow require?▼

Blog frontmatter validation enforces required fields including title, date, and description. The Skill parses and validates these fields to confirm they're present, properly formatted, and ready for publication across static-site generators and CMS-based blogs.

Can I check for broken links and external content validity before publishing?▼

Yes, the blog-publishing workflow includes link testing and optional related content research through WebSearch integration. This verifies that external URLs are reachable and identifies relevant content gaps to enrich your post before going live.

How do I integrate blog publishing checks into my draft-to-publish workflow?▼

The Skill provides an interactive checklist and automated validation steps that fit into existing draft-to-publish pipelines. It guides you through final reviews, runs Python-based checks on content and structure, then provides clear instructions for updating dates, moving files, and committing changes for deployment.

Does blog publishing validation work with static site generators and CMS platforms?▼

Blog publishing validation applies across both static-site generators and CMS-based blogs, checking directory structure, frontmatter compliance, and draft status consistently. The Skill's Python script and Bash integrations work with any blog platform following standard publishing workflows.

What happens if my blog post contains unresolved TODOs or incomplete sections?▼

The automated validation script detects leftover TODOs and flags them during pre-publish checks, preventing incomplete posts from being deployed. This catches draft remnants and ensures you've completed all content work before publication.
