strand-publish

Operates Strand's Git-based publishing workflow. The content repo is the source of truth; every article change is a commit on a branch and a pull request. Never push to main directly, never force-push, never rewrite published history.

Preconditions (check before publishing)

1. The post file lives at content/posts/<slug>.mdx.
2. Frontmatter validates against the schema. Run strand validate <slug> (or the MCP validate_post tool). If it fails, fix it with the strand-content-schema skill first — do not publish a failing post.
3. For factual or news content, sources[] is populated and claims are cited (use strand-fact-check-cite).
4. The article has been through the humanizer pass, and — when the site runs a review gate — strand-review-gate has logged it as pass or revised in content/review/<branch>.log. Never publish an article the gate marked blocked or never saw.
