What problem does it solve?
Manually reviewing Liam Bastick-style blog articles (DAX, Excel, Final Friday Fix, Monday Morning Mulling, AI blog) against his specific editorial standards is time-consuming and prone to missing nuanced rules around UK English, formatting, technical accuracy, and series-specific conventions. This Skill automates the full audit workflow, eliminating manual review effort and ensuring consistent compliance with Liam's quality gate.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Two-Tier Rule Auditing: Checks content against both standard UK English rules and Liam Bastick's custom editorial house rules, covering grammar, formatting, technical accuracy, tone, product name spacing, and series-specific template compliance.
- Stale Fact Web Verification: Automatically verifies technical claims (DAX function syntax, Power Pivot compatibility, AI tool features, Excel function availability) against current online sources to catch outdated content that static rule checks miss.
- Dual Output Generation: Produces a markdown error report grouped by severity (Critical / Major / Minor / Suggestion) with rule references, plus a tracked-changes Word document that preserves the original document's formatting, images, and styles for Liam to review and accept/reject changes individually.
- Use Case: A SumProduct content editor can use this Skill to audit a new DAX A-to-Z article before publication, catching technical errors like incorrect Power Pivot compatibility claims, formatting mistakes like un-bolded function names, and UK English errors like American spellings in seconds.
