draft-validate

You can validate a single draft by specifying its file path, allowing the Skill to check that specific file's frontmatter, structure, and naming against the SSOT validation instructions. This ensures individual drafts meet standards before publishing.

Yes, you can batch validate all drafts in the .claude/drafts directory at once by running the command with the --all flag. This processes every draft file in the directory to ensure each one complies with the standard frontmatter and structure requirements.

Before validating drafts, your environment needs the .claude/drafts directory containing your draft files and the SSOT validation instructions file located at .claude/.instructions/drafts/validation-draft.md. These define the required frontmatter fields and naming conventions the Skill checks against.

Draft validation fails when frontmatter is missing required fields because the Skill strictly checks against the SSOT validation instructions to ensure standard compliance. The validation logic relies on these defined rules to confirm that every mandatory frontmatter field is present and correctly formatted.
