What problem does it solve?

Ensuring blog posts meet all quality, style, and linguistic standards before publication is a critical but often manual and error-prone task. This Skill automates the comprehensive validation process, guaranteeing consistent, high-quality content every time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Comprehensive Quality Checks: Validates frontmatter, structural flow (Hook → Problem → Solution), voice (first-person, British English), and code examples.
• Linguistic & Style Enforcement: Strictly checks for en-GB spelling, correct grammar, and adherence to the "ScottInk" style guide, flagging corporate speak or vague conclusions.
• Code Integrity: Ensures all code blocks have language identifiers and that examples are working and relevant to the narrative.
• Use Case: Before publishing a new technical blog post, use this Skill to perform a final review. It will automatically check for correct frontmatter, consistent British English spelling, proper code block formatting, and adherence to the "ScottInk" voice, ensuring your post is polished and professional.
