publication-checklist

name: publication-checklist description: Run a final pre-publication quality gate for articles and long-form drafts. Use when the user asks for a publish-ready check, final QA, go/no-go decision, or wants to catch blocking issues in structure, facts, language, links, and formatting before release.

Publication Checklist

Overview

Perform a strict pre-publish review and return blocking issues first. Focus on ship-readiness, not rewriting the whole article.

Trigger Examples

• "Сделай финальный pre-publish check этого текста."
• "Дай verdict: можно выпускать или нет."
• "Найди блокеры перед публикацией."

Workflow

1. Identify draft type and publication channel.
2. Run checks in priority order: blockers -> major -> minor.
3. Mark each issue with severity and exact fix.
4. Return a go/no-go recommendation.

Output Format

Return in this order:

1. Verdict (Go | Go with fixes | No-go)
2. Blocking issues
3. Major issues
4. Minor improvements
5. Final preflight checklist

For each issue, use:

• Severity: Blocker | Major | Minor
• Problem: concise statement
• Where: section/heading reference
• Fix: one concrete action

Checklist Areas

Check these areas every time:

• Structure: clear lead, coherent flow, actionable ending.
• Facts: claims are sourced or clearly marked as opinion.
• Language: grammar, spelling, punctuation, consistency of terms.
• Readability: no overload, no repeated points, scannable headings.
• Links and references: valid, relevant, and correctly labeled.
• Metadata readiness: title, subtitle/description, CTA alignment.

Decision Rules

• No-go: factual errors, legal/safety risk, broken structure, missing core section.
• Go with fixes: no blockers, but majors remain.
• Go: no blockers and no majors.
