draft-validate

You can validate frontmatter and naming conventions in markdown drafts by running a validation command against a specific file path or an entire drafts directory to enforce required fields and structural rules.

Required frontmatter fields for draft files include name, description, and other specified metadata necessary to meet the drafting standard, ensuring files are consistent and ready for review.

Yes, you can check all draft files in a directory at once by using the batch validation flag, which scans and validates every draft file in the specified drafts folder simultaneously.

Your draft file fails the structural rules check when it lacks valid frontmatter, contains missing required metadata fields, or violates the established file naming conventions required for review readiness.

The best way to ensure drafts are consistent before review is to enforce required frontmatter fields, apply standardized naming conventions, and verify structural rules through an automated validation workflow.
