Validate All Content

Run comprehensive validation checks on The Unfinishable Map site content.

When to Use

• Daily automated health checks
• Before deploying to production
• After major content changes
• When /validate-all is invoked

Instructions

Execute these validation steps in order:

1. Frontmatter Validation

Run the validation script:

uv run python scripts/validate.py hugo/content/ --strict

Report any validation errors or warnings.

2. Link Checking

Run the /check-links skill to verify all internal links are valid.

If the Hugo dev server is not running, note that link checking was skipped.

3. Orphan Detection

Find content files with no inbound links:

1. Read all markdown files in hugo/content/
2. Extract all internal links from each file
3. Identify files that are never linked to (except index files)
4. Report orphaned content for human review

4. Stale Draft Detection

Find draft content older than 30 days:

1. Find all files with draft: true in frontmatter
2. Check the created or modified date
3. If older than 30 days, flag as stale
4. Report stale drafts for human review

5. Length Analysis

Check article lengths against section-specific thresholds:

uv run python -c "
from pathlib import Path
from tools.curate.length import get_length_summary

summary = get_length_summary(Path('obsidian'))
print(f'Critical: {summary[\"critical_count\"]}')
print(f'Hard warnings: {summary[\"hard_warning_count\"]}')
print(f'Soft warnings: {summary[\"soft_warning_count\"]}')
for w in summary['worst_offenders'][:5]:
    print(f'  {w[\"path\"]}: {w[\"words\"]} words ({w[\"excess_percent\"]:.0f}%)')
"

Thresholds by section:

Section	Target	Hard	Critical
concepts/	2500	3500	5000
topics/	3000	4000	6000
apex/	4000	5000	6500
voids/	2000	3000	4000
positions/	1500	2500	4000

Report critical and hard warnings. Note soft warnings only if concerning trend.

6. Log Results

Prepend results to obsidian/workflow/changelog.md (add immediately after frontmatter, before existing entries).
