By name: validate_wordcount description: Validate a note's word count against template-specific minimums. Delegates actual counting to word_count.ps1 (which correctly strips YAML frontmatter), then compares against the provided minimum threshold. Outputs WORDCOUNT_PASS or WORDCOUNT_FAIL with deficit information. Used by the weaver during Stage 5 of the note creation pipeline. Template minimums — empire/biography 1500, geopolitical 5000, fiqh 8000, aqeedah 3000, cs/ai 4000, notebooklm 4000, general 1000.
Validate Word Count
Goal
Verify that an assembled note meets the minimum word count threshold for its template type. Delegates the actual word counting to word_count.ps1 to avoid frontmatter inclusion bugs.
Instructions
- Call this script during Stage 5 of the pipeline, after weaver assembly.
- Pass the note path, the minimum word count for the template, and optionally the template name.
- The script:
- Calls
word_count.ps1to get the accurate body word count (frontmatter excluded). - Compares against
-MinWords. - Outputs
WORDCOUNT_PASSorWORDCOUNT_FAILwith the deficit.
- Calls
- If
WORDCOUNT_FAIL: return the note to the content agent with the deficit count for expansion of thinnest sections, then re-run this script.
