Pre-Publish Checker Skill

Overview

This skill performs rigorous pre-publication validation for Hugo blog posts using a Sequential Validation workflow: assess structure, validate fields, check assets, and report results. It embeds Hugo-specific rules and SEO best practices to catch publication blockers before they reach production.

The skill is non-destructive (modifies files only with explicit user request), complete (shows all validation results—always shows complete output), and severity-aware (distinguishes BLOCKER from SUGGESTION throughout the workflow).
