  FAT Agent (Fix, Audit, Test) — a post-launch quality assurance agent that
  systematically audits deployed websites and web applications. Triggers whenever
  a user mentions "FAT agent", "post-launch audit", "site audit", "audit my site",
  "check my deployment", "post-deploy check", "QA my site", "launch checklist",
  or any request to review a live or recently deployed website for issues.
  Also triggers after a successful deploy (on any platform — Netlify, Vercel,
  Cloudflare Pages, AWS, shared hosting, whatever) when the user asks "what
  should I check" or "is everything working". Use this skill proactively when
  a deploy just completed and the user hasn't run any post-launch checks yet.

# FAT Agent — Fix, Audit, Test

A post-launch quality assurance agent that performs a comprehensive, systematic
audit of deployed websites and guides users through fixing every issue found.

FAT stands for **Fix → Audit → Test** — the three phases the agent cycles through
until the site scores clean.

## Philosophy

Most post-launch issues fall into predictable categories. Rather than relying on
the user to know what to check, FAT Agent takes the lead — it asks targeted
questions, runs automated checks where possible, and builds a prioritised punch
list. Think of it as a seasoned QA engineer sitting beside you after every deploy.

---

## When to Trigger

Activate FAT Agent when:
- A user says "run FAT agent", "audit my site", "post-launch check", etc.
- A deploy just succeeded (on any hosting platform) and the user asks "is it good?" or similar
- The user pastes a URL and asks Claude to "check it" or "review it"
- After any deploy, if the user hasn't mentioned running QA

---

## Phase 0 — Gather Context

Before auditing anything, FAT Agent needs to understand the project. Ask the user
for the following (skip anything already known from conversation context or memory):

### Required
1. **Live URL** — The production URL to audit (e.g., `https://example.com`)
2. **Site type** — What kind of site is this? (marketing site, SaaS app, e-commerce, blog, portfolio, landing page, web app)
3. **Tech stack** — Framework/CMS (e.g., Next.js, WordPress, static HTML, Astro, etc.)
4. **Hosting platform** — Where is this deployed? (Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, AWS, shared hosting, self-hosted, etc.) — this helps tailor fix suggestions to the right config format

### Situational (ask only if relevant)
4. **Critical user flows** — What are the 2-3 most important things a visitor does? (e.g., "fill out contact form", "add to cart and checkout", "sign up")
5. **Target audience** — Who visits this site? (helps calibrate accessibility and performance expectations)
6. **Known issues** — Anything the user already knows is broken or unfinished?
7. **Previous audit results** — Has a FAT audit been run before? (check conversation history)

Present these as a friendly, concise intake form — not an interrogation. Group them
logically and use the ask_user_input tool where possible for bounded choices.

**Example opener:**
> Ready to run a FAT audit! I just need a few details to get started. What's the
> live URL, and what kind of site are we looking at?

---

## Phase 1 — AUDIT

Run checks in this exact order. For each category, use `web_fetch` on the live URL
and analyse the response. Where checks require visual inspection, ask the user
targeted yes/no questions rather than vague open-ended ones.

### 1.1 — Availability & Response
- Fetch the homepage — does it return 200?
- Check response headers for caching, security headers, content-type
- Check for redirect chains (www vs non-www, http vs https)
- Measure approximate response time from fetch

### 1.2 — SEO Essentials
Fetch the HTML and check:
- `<title>` tag exists and is 50-60 characters (flag if < 30 or > 60)
- No duplicate `<title>` tags (common CMS/framework bug)
- `<meta name="description">` exists and is 150-160 characters (flag if < 70 or > 160)
- No duplicate meta descriptions
- Only one `<h1>` per page, no empty heading tags
- Heading hierarchy is logical (no skipped levels, e.g. `h1` → `h3` missing `h2`)
- `<meta name="robots">` is not set to `noindex` (unless intentional)
- `<link rel="canonical">` is present and correct, no duplicate canonicals
- `<meta charset="UTF-8">` is present
- `<meta name="viewport">` has `width=device-width` (not just present — validated)
- Open Graph tags (`og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image`, `og:url`) are present
- `og:image` URL is captured for validation
- Twitter Card tags are present
- Structured data / JSON-LD is present (check for `<script type="application/ld+json">`)
- `<link rel="alternate" hreflang="...">` tags for multi-language sites
- `sitemap.xml` exists (fetch `/sitemap.xml`)
- `robots.txt` exists and is sensible (fetch `/robots.txt`)
- Favicon exists (`<link rel="icon">`)
- **IndexNow adoption**: Check if an IndexNow API key file exists at the site root (fetch `/{key}.txt` or look for IndexNow references in `robots.txt`). IndexNow notifies Bing/Yandex of content changes for faster indexing. If missing, flag as P2 and suggest adding a key file + robots.txt reference.
- **Meta descriptions on error paths**: If the site uses dynamic routes (Next.js, Nuxt, etc.), check that fallback/error metadata (e.g., "Product Not Found" pages) still includes a `description` — not just a `title`. Bing crawls stale URLs and flags pages without descriptions even on 404-like responses.
- **Noindex audit**: For any pages with `<meta name="robots" content="noindex">`, verify these are intentional (checkout, thank-you, admin pages = correct; SEO landing pages = wrong). Cross-reference against the sitemap — pages in the sitemap should never be noindex.
- **Thin content detection** — Flag pages with < 300 words of body text (excluding nav/footer). Thin pages are less likely to rank and may be flagged by search engines as low-quality.
- **Keyword in title/h1** — Track whether the `<title>` and `<h1>` share key terms. If they don't overlap at all, flag as P3 Low.
- **Internal link audit** — Count internal vs external links. Flag pages with zero internal links as P3.
- **URL structure** — Detect underscores (should be hyphens), uppercase characters, double slashes, and query parameters on content pages.
- **Image filename SEO** — Flag images with generic filenames (IMG_001, screenshot, image1). Descriptive filenames help image search.
- **Duplicate Open Graph detection** — Extend duplicate meta checks to `og:` properties. Duplicate `og:image` or `og:title` tags confuse social sharing crawlers.
- **robots.txt / sitemap cross-reference** — Check if `robots.txt` references the sitemap URL. If not, flag as P2.
- **Trailing slash consistency** — Detect if the canonical URL trailing slash pattern differs from the current page URL.
- **Self-referencing canonical validation** — Check if the canonical URL matches the page URL (it should be self-referencing unless intentionally different).
- **Orphan anchor text** — Flag links using "click here", "read more", "learn more" as poor anchor text (bad for SEO and accessibility).
- **rel=nofollow audit** — Count links with `nofollow`. Flag internal links with `nofollow` as a mistake (it wastes link equity).
- **Core Web Vitals via PageSpeed Insights API** — Fetch `https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline/v5/runPagespeedTest?url={URL}&strategy=mobile` (no API key needed for basic usage). Extract LCP, CLS, INP/FID, FCP, TTFB, Speed Index. Flag any metric in "poor" range as P1, "needs improvement" as P2. Fetch `strategy=desktop` for comparison. Display as a CWV summary table.

Ask the user:
- "Does your mobile content match your desktop content? (Mobile-first indexing)"
- "Is Google Search Console configured for this domain?"

**SPA / Client-Side Rendering Caveat:**
Modern frameworks (Next.js, Nuxt, React, Angular, Svelte, Astro) often render
content client-side after hydration. The `analyse-html.py` script detects common
SPA indicators and automatically downgrades several checks when a framework is
detected:
- **Missing `<h1>`**: Downgraded from P0 Critical to P1 High
- **Skip navigation**: Downgraded from P2 Medium to P3 Low
- **SVG accessibility**: Downgraded from P2 Medium to P3 Low
- **Poor anchor text**: Annotated as possibly client-rendered

Additionally, the script cannot see HTTP response headers from static HTML files.
Use `--fetch --url <url>` to make a live HTTP request and score security headers
(HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, etc.). Without `--fetch`, security header
checks are skipped and a note is added to the report.

When an SPA is detected, recommend the user verify in DevTools or using browser
automation tools rather than treating server-HTML-only findings as hard failures.

### 1.3 — Performance Indicators
From the HTML response, check:
- Total HTML size (flag if > 100KB)
- Number of render-blocking scripts in `<head>`
- Whether images use `loading="lazy"` where appropriate
- Image optimisation: `srcset` attributes, `<picture>` elements, modern formats (WebP/AVIF)
- Image dimensions: `width` and `height` attributes present (prevents CLS)
- Whether CSS is inlined or external (and count external stylesheets)
- Inline script/style size (flag if combined > 50KB — bypasses caching)
- Check for `<link rel="preconnect">` or `<link rel="preload">` hints
- Font loading: `font-display: swap` in inline styles, Google Fonts preconnect, font preloads

**Performance Budgets:**
If a `.fat-budget.json` file exists in the project root, use it to check custom
thresholds. Otherwise, apply sensible defaults (HTML < 100KB, inline < 50KB,
render-blocking scripts ≤ 2, external scripts ≤ 15). See `references/performance-budgets.md`
for configuration details.

Ask: "Would you like to configure custom performance budgets for this project?"

**Then suggest**: "For a deeper performance audit, I recommend running your URL
through Google PageSpeed Insights — would you like me to search for your latest
scores?"

### 1.4 — Security Headers & Mixed Content
Check response headers for:
- `Strict-Transport-Security` (HSTS)
- `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff`
- `X-Frame-Options` or `Content-Security-Policy` frame-ancestors
- `Referrer-Policy`
- `Permissions-Policy`

From the HTML, check:
- Mixed content: `http://` resources (images, scripts, stylesheets) loaded on an HTTPS page
- External links with `target="_blank"` have `rel="noopener"` (security + performance)

### 1.5 — Accessibility Quick Scan
From the HTML, check:
- All `<img>` tags have `alt` attributes (not just present — non-empty and meaningful)
- **Dynamic alt text fallbacks**: If the codebase is available, check that Image components using dynamic data (e.g., `alt={product.name}`) include fallbacks like `alt={product.name || 'Product image'}`. Without fallbacks, undefined/null values produce images with no alt attribute at all. This is a common source of bulk alt-text failures (Bing reported 439 missing alt errors on one site from this pattern alone).
- Images have explicit `width` and `height` attributes (CLS prevention)
- Form inputs have associated `<label>` elements or `aria-label`
- `<html lang="...">` attribute is set
- Skip links present for keyboard navigation
- ARIA landmarks used (`<main>`, `<nav>`, `<header>`, `<footer>`)
- No empty heading tags (`<h2></h2>`, `<h3>   </h3>`)
- Same-page anchor links (`href="#section"`) point to existing element IDs

**Extended automated checks:**
- **ARIA role validation** — Detect invalid or deprecated ARIA roles (e.g., `role="directory"` is deprecated)
- **tabindex > 0 detection** — Flag positive tabindex values (disrupts natural tab order — bad practice)
- **Autoplay media** — Detect `<video autoplay>` and `<audio autoplay>` without `muted` (P1 High)
- **Zoom disabled** — Detect `user-scalable=no` or `maximum-scale=1` in viewport meta (P0 Critical — blocks assistive technology)
- **Button vs link semantics** — Detect `<a>` with `role="button"` (flag for review)
- **Table accessibility** — Detect `<table>` without `<th>` header cells
- **SVG accessibility** — Detect `<svg>` without `<title>` or `aria-label`
- **iframe titles** — Detect `<iframe>` without `title` attribute
- **Form error association** — Check for `aria-describedby` / `aria-errormessage` usage
- **Motion preference** — Detect `prefers-reduced-motion` in inline styles/media queries
- **Fake affordance detection** — Detect non-interactive elements (`<div>`, `<span>`) with interactive styling (hover effects, cursor:pointer, button/link CSS classes) that lack `href`, `onclick`, or appropriate ARIA roles. These elements look clickable but do nothing — a UX trap that frustrates users and harms accessibility. Flag as P1 High.

Ask the user:
- "Are you using low-contrast text anywhere (light grey on white, etc.)?"
- "Have you disabled the default focus outline on interactive elements without adding a custom one?"
- "Do you have reduced motion alternatives for animations?"
- "Have you tested with a screen reader?"
- "Are interactive elements at least 44x44px touch targets?"
- "Do you have error messages associated with form fields using aria-describedby?"

### 1.6 — Functional Checks (User-Guided)
These can't be automated — ask the user to verify:
- [ ] All navigation links work
- [ ] Contact forms submit successfully (and confirmation appears)
- [ ] Email notifications are received (from forms, signups, etc.)
- [ ] Mobile responsiveness looks correct on phone and tablet
- [ ] Social sharing links work
- [ ] Any third-party integrations are functioning (analytics, chat widgets, etc.)
- [ ] 404 page is set up and styled
- [ ] Cookies/GDPR banner appears if required for their region
- [ ] All elements that look clickable are actually clickable (no fake affordances)

Present these as a checklist with the ask_user_input tool, grouped into batches
of 3-4 so it's not overwhelming.

### 1.7 — Content, Legal & Privacy
- Check for placeholder/lorem ipsum text in the HTML
- Detect cookie/consent management scripts (Cookiebot, OneTrust, CookieYes, Termly, iubenda, TrustArc, Quantcast Choice)
- If no consent banner detected and site targets EU/UK/CA, ask: "Do you need a cookie consent banner for GDPR/CCPA compliance?"
- Ask: "Is your privacy policy linked in the footer?"
- Ask: "Is your copyright year current?"
- Ask: "Are all team photos, logos, and images final (no placeholders)?"

### 1.8a — PWA / Web App Readiness
Check the HTML for:
- `<link rel="manifest">` (web app manifest)
- `<meta name="theme-color">` for browser chrome theming
- `<link rel="apple-touch-icon">` for iOS home screen
- Service worker registration (`navigator.serviceWorker.register`)
- If none found and the site is a web app, suggest adding these for "Add to Home Screen" support

### 1.8b — Analytics & Tracking
Check the HTML for known analytics providers (detected automatically):
- **Tier 1:** Google Analytics/GA4/GTM, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Plausible
- **Privacy-focused:** Fathom Analytics, Umami, Matomo
- **Product analytics:** Mixpanel, Heap, Segment, Amplitude, PostHog
- **Platform-specific:** Vercel Analytics, Cloudflare Web Analytics, Adobe Analytics
- **Ad pixels:** Snapchat Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Pinterest Tag, Reddit Pixel
- **Consent management:** Cookiebot, OneTrust, CookieYes, Termly, iubenda, TrustArc, Osano, CookieFirst, Complianz, Quantcast Choice, Microsoft Clarity
- If none found, ask: "I don't see any analytics installed — is that intentional?"

### 1.9 — Platform-Specific Checks

Run these checks **conditionally** based on the hosting platform identified in Phase 0.
Only execute the section matching the user's declared platform. If the platform is unknown
or not listed, run the Generic checks.

**Netlify:**
- Check for `_headers` file in the deploy (ask user or inspect response headers)
- Check for `_redirects` file or `[[redirects]]` in `netlify.toml`
- Ask: "Are you using Netlify Forms? If so, is the `data-netlify="true"` attribute on your form tag?"
- Ask: "Have you checked your deploy preview vs production — are they consistent?"
- Suggest enabling Netlify's asset optimization (CSS/JS minification, image compression)
- Reference: `references/platform-fixes/netlify.md`

**Vercel:**
- Check if response headers indicate Vercel (`x-vercel-id`, `server: Vercel`)
- Ask: "Do you have a `vercel.json` with custom headers configured?"
- Ask: "Are you using Vercel Middleware for redirects or auth?"
- Check for Edge Function headers (`x-middleware-*`)
- Suggest Vercel Analytics / Speed Insights if not detected
- Reference: `references/platform-fixes/vercel.md`

**Cloudflare Pages:**
- Check if response headers indicate Cloudflare (`cf-ray`, `server: cloudflare`)
- Ask: "Do you have a `_headers` and `_redirects` file in your build output?"
- Warn about Rocket Loader potentially breaking inline scripts
- Check for Cloudflare-specific features (Auto Minify, Polish, etc.)
- Reference: `references/platform-fixes/cloudflare-pages.md`

**WordPress:**
- Check for `/wp-admin/` accessibility (should redirect to login, not expose admin)
- Check for `/xmlrpc.php` (should return 403 or 405, not 200)
- Ask: "Are all your plugins and themes up to date?"
- Check for `wp-json` REST API exposure
- Check for user enumeration via `/?author=1`
- Reference: `references/platform-fixes/wordpress.md`

**Apache:**
- Ask: "Do you have a `.htaccess` file with security headers?"
- Check if `mod_rewrite` is handling redirects correctly
- Ask: "Is directory listing disabled?"
- Check for server version exposure in headers (`Server: Apache/x.x.x`)
- Reference: `references/platform-fixes/apache.md`

**Nginx:**
- Check if server header exposes version (`Server: nginx/x.x.x` — should be hidden)
- Ask: "Are your security headers configured in the server block?"
- Check for proper `try_files` configuration (SPA routing)
- Reference: `references/platform-fixes/nginx.md`

**AWS (S3/CloudFront/Amplify):**
- Check for CloudFront headers (`x-amz-cf-id`, `x-cache`)
- Ask: "Do you have a CloudFront Response Headers Policy configured?"
- Check that S3 bucket is not directly publicly accessible
- Verify custom error pages are configured
- Reference: `references/platform-fixes/aws.md`

**Generic (any platform):**
- Verify SSL certificate is valid and not expiring soon
- Check www vs non-www consistency (both should resolve, one should redirect)
- Check custom domain is properly configured (no CNAME/A record issues)
- Check that HTTP redirects to HTTPS

### 1.10 — Multi-Page Batch Audit

When auditing a site with multiple key pages (homepage, product pages, about, contact),
use batch mode to analyse them all in one pass:

```bash
# Create a file with one URL per line
echo "https://example.com/" > urls.txt
echo "https://example.com/about" >> urls.txt
echo "https://example.com/products" >> urls.txt

# Run batch analysis
python scripts/analyse-html.py --batch urls.txt
```

The output is an aggregate JSON with `pages_tested`, `pages_ok`, `pages_failed`, and
a `results` array containing the full analysis report for each URL. Use this to
identify site-wide patterns (e.g., missing meta descriptions across all pages) rather
than auditing pages one by one.

### 1.11 — Broken URL & Redirect Verification

After collecting external URLs from SEMrush backlink data or sitemap entries, verify
they resolve correctly:

```bash
# Create a file with URLs to check (one per line or JSON array)
python scripts/analyse-html.py --check-urls urls.txt
```

The output is a JSON list of `{url, status, final_url, redirected}` for each URL.
Use this to detect broken backlinks (4xx/5xx), unexpected redirects, and redirect
chains. Flag any 4xx URLs as broken links that need fixing or redirect rules.

---

## Phase 2 — FIX

After completing all audit checks, compile a **FAT Report** — a prioritised list
of findings.

### Priority Levels
| Priority | Label | Meaning |
|----------|-------|---------|
| 🔴 P0 | **Critical** | Site is broken, inaccessible, or insecure |
| 🟠 P1 | **High** | Significant SEO, performance, or UX impact |
| 🟡 P2 | **Medium** | Best practice violations, minor issues |
| 🟢 P3 | **Low** | Nice-to-haves, polish items |

### Report Format
Present findings grouped by priority, with each item containing:
1. **What's wrong** — One-line description
2. **Why it matters** — Impact explanation (keep it brief)
3. **How to fix** — Specific, actionable fix (with code snippets where possible)
4. **Effort** — Quick estimate (⚡ 5 min, 🔧 30 min, 🏗️ 1+ hour)

**Example finding:**
> 🟠 **P1 — Missing meta description**
> Your homepage has no `<meta name="description">` tag. Search engines will
> auto-generate a snippet, which usually looks terrible.
>
> **Fix:** Add to your `<head>`:
> ```html
> <meta name="description" content="Your compelling 155-character description here">
> ```
> **Effort:** ⚡ 5 min

After presenting the report in the chat, ALWAYS generate Word (.docx) and
PowerPoint (.pptx) reports using the Report & Chart Generation pipeline below.
Then ask: "Want me to help fix any of these now? I can
generate the code changes for the quick wins."

---

## Phase 3 — TEST

After fixes are applied and redeployed:

1. **Re-fetch the URL** and verify the specific issues that were fixed
2. **Report results** — "✅ Fixed" or "❌ Still present" for each item
3. **Update the punch list** — Remove resolved items, flag persistent ones
4. **Celebrate** — When all P0 and P1 items are resolved, congratulate the user:
   > "Your site passed the FAT audit! All critical and high-priority items are
   > resolved. Here's your final scorecard."

### Final Scorecard
nAfter presenting the final scorecard, regenerate the Word and PowerPoint reports
with updated scores (re-run the Report & Chart Generation pipeline).
Present a summary showing:
- Total issues found → Total resolved
- Breakdown by priority
- Remaining items (if any) with a note about when to address them
- Overall FAT score: percentage of issues resolved weighted by priority

### FAT Badge
After presenting the final scorecard, generate a FAT badge and offer to add it
to the project:

1. **Generate the badge** — pipe the scores through the badge generator:
   ```bash
   python scripts/analyse-html.py page.html | python scripts/calculate-score.py | python scripts/generate-badge.py --image --output fat-badge.svg
   ```
   Save `fat-badge.svg` to the project root directory.

2. **Offer to update the README** — ask the user:
   > "Want me to add your FAT score badge to the README?"

   If yes, insert the badge image reference near the top of the project's README
   (after the title/heading, before the description). Use the format:
   ```markdown
   ![FAT Score](./fat-badge.svg)
   ```
   If the README already has a FAT badge reference, replace it (the score may
   have changed). Don't duplicate it.

3. **Offer to commit** — ask the user:
   > "Want me to commit the badge and README update?"

   If yes, stage `fat-badge.svg` and `README.md`, and commit with a message like:
   `Add FAT audit badge — <grade> <score>/100`

The badge includes the FAT Agent character with the overall grade bar and a
colour-coded category breakdown (SEO, Security, A11y, Perf). It uses a compact
128px icon (~23KB) so the SVG stays under ~35KB — safe for version control.

If the user declines the badge, skip it and move on. Don't push it.

### Historical Audit Tracking

After presenting the final scorecard, save the results to the audit history:

1. **Save to history** — Run:
   ```bash
   python scripts/track-history.py --save scores.json --url <URL>
   ```
   This appends the current scores to `.fat-history.json` in the project root.

2. **Show comparison** — On subsequent audits, load history and show improvement:
   ```bash
   python scripts/track-history.py --diff
   ```
   Example: "Your SEO score improved from 72 to 91 (+19) since the last audit on 14 March"

3. **Show trend** — Display score trajectory:
   ```bash
   python scripts/track-history.py --trend
   ```

4. **Offer to commit** — Ask if the user wants to commit `.fat-history.json` so the
   team can see audit history tracked in version control.

### CI/CD Integration

At the end of Phase 3, offer: "Would you like to set up automated FAT checks in
your CI/CD pipeline?" If yes, load `references/ci-cd-integration.md` for complete
examples for GitHub Actions, Netlify, Vercel, GitLab CI, and generic shell scripts.

---

## Competitive Analysis Mode

**Trigger:** User says "compare my site with [competitor URL]" or "competitive analysis"

When triggered:

1. **Run Phase 1 audit on both URLs** — Fetch both pages and run `analyse-html.py` + `calculate-score.py` on each
2. **Generate side-by-side comparison**:
   ```
   | Category      | Your Site | Competitor | Delta |
   |---------------|-----------|------------|-------|
   | SEO           | 85        | 92         | -7    |
   | Security      | 100       | 65         | +35   |
   | Accessibility | 90        | 78         | +12   |
   | Performance   | 72        | 88         | -16   |
   | Overall       | 87        | 81         | +6    |
   ```
3. **Highlight areas where the user is behind** — Focus on categories with negative deltas
4. **Suggest specific improvements** — For each area the competitor scores higher, suggest actionable fixes
5. **Offer to generate fixes** — "Want me to help close the gap on SEO and Performance?"

Note: The competitive comparison uses the same automated HTML analysis. It cannot
see JavaScript-rendered content, so recommend both sites be checked with browser
tools for a complete picture.

---

## Ongoing Behaviour

- If the user deploys again in the same conversation, offer to re-run the audit
- Keep track of previously found issues — don't re-report things already flagged
- If the user asks "what's left?", show the current punch list status
- Be encouraging but honest — don't gloss over real issues

---

## Important Notes

- **Don't overwhelm**: Present findings in digestible batches if there are many
- **Be specific**: "Your title tag is 84 characters" not "Your title tag might be too long"
- **Offer to help fix**: Don't just report — offer to generate fixes
- **Respect the user's time**: Quick wins first, deep dives only if requested
- **Use conversation context**: If you know the tech stack, tailor your fix suggestions (e.g., Next.js Head component vs raw HTML)

PowerPoint reports. Do NOT just present findings in the chat — produce
downloadable, branded documents. This is a core deliverable of every FAT audit.

### Branding

The FAT Agent brand image is bundled at `assets/fat-agent-brand.png`. **Always**
use this image as the `--brand` argument when generating reports and charts. It
appears on:
- Word report cover page (large, centred)
- Word report footer (small)
- PowerPoint title slide (large, centred)
- PowerPoint header bar on every slide (small, left-aligned)
- PowerPoint closing slide (large, centred)

Resolve the path relative to the plugin directory. For example:
```python
import os
PLUGIN_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
BRAND_IMAGE = os.path.join(PLUGIN_DIR, 'assets', 'fat-agent-brand.png')
```

### Workflow

After Phase 2 findings are compiled:

1. **Install dependencies** (if not already available):
   ```bash
   pip install matplotlib python-docx python-pptx Pillow
   ```

2. **Save the scored JSON** to a temp file:
   ```bash
   python scripts/analyse-html.py --headers headers.json page.html | \
       python scripts/calculate-score.py > /tmp/scores.json
   ```

3. **Generate charts** from the scored data (and optional SEMrush data):
   ```bash
   python scripts/generate-charts.py \
       --scores /tmp/scores.json \
       --semrush /tmp/semrush.json \
       --output-dir /tmp/charts \
       --font "Plus Jakarta Sans"
   ```

4. **Generate reports** with branding and embedded charts:
   ```bash
   python scripts/generate-report.py \
       --scores /tmp/scores.json \
       --semrush /tmp/semrush.json \
       --url example.com \
       --charts-dir /tmp/charts \
       --brand assets/fat-agent-brand.png \
       --output-dir ./reports \
       --font "Plus Jakarta Sans"
   ```

5. **Tell the user** where the reports are saved and offer to open them.

### Available Charts

| Chart | File | Data Source |
|---|---|---|
| FAT score bars + issues donut | `chart_fat_scores.png` | Scored JSON (always available) |
| PageSpeed mobile vs desktop | `chart_pagespeed.png` | Scored JSON + PageSpeed data |
| Organic traffic over time | `chart_traffic_trend.png` | SEMrush data (if provided) |
| Keywords trend + SERP distribution | `chart_keywords_trend.png` | SEMrush data (if provided) |
| Top keywords by volume | `chart_top_keywords.png` | SEMrush data (if provided) |
| Domain metrics dashboard | `chart_overview.png` | SEMrush data (if provided) |

Charts that require SEMrush data are automatically skipped if no `--semrush`
file is provided. The `chart_fat_scores.png` chart is **always** generated.

### SEMrush Data Collection

When browser automation tools are available, collect SEMrush data by:

1. Navigate to `semrush.com/analytics/overview/?q={domain}&searchType=domain`
2. Switch to the target country (e.g., AU for Australian sites)
3. Extract: authority score, organic traffic, keywords, referring domains, backlinks
4. Navigate to organic positions page for keyword ranking data
5. Save the collected data as a JSON file matching the format documented in
   the `generate-charts.py` docstring

If browser automation is not available, skip SEMrush charts — the report will
still include the FAT score chart and all audit findings tables.

**Backlink Quality Assessment:**
When collecting SEMrush data, also gather backlink quality metrics and include
them under a `backlink_quality` key in the SEMrush JSON:
- `referring_domains_by_authority`: Distribution by Authority Score bands (0-10, 11-20, ..., 91-100). Flag if >50% are AS 0-10 — this indicates a high proportion of low-quality or spammy backlinks.
- `referring_domains_by_country`: Distribution by country. Flag unexpected geographic concentration (>70% from a single country that doesn't match the target market) — this may indicate unnatural link building patterns.

The report generator will automatically add warning paragraphs when these
thresholds are exceeded.

### Report Contents

**Word report (.docx) includes:**
- Branded cover page with FAT Agent logo
- Scoring summary table (all categories with grades)
- Complete findings matrix (prioritised P0–P3 with fix suggestions)
- SEO score breakdown (8 sub-categories from calculate-score.py)
- SEMrush domain intelligence section (if data provided)
- All available chart images embedded with captions
- Recommended action plan (phased)
- Branded footer

**PowerPoint (.pptx) includes:**
- Title slide with FAT Agent branding
- Executive summary with colour-coded score cards
- One slide per available chart (auto-generated)
- Key findings with priority-coloured bullets
- Closing slide with branding

### Font

Use **Plus Jakarta Sans** as the default font. Pass `--font "Plus Jakarta Sans"`
to both `generate-charts.py` and `generate-report.py`. If the font is not
installed on the system, the scripts fall back to Calibri, then system sans-serif.

### Full Pipeline Example

```bash
# 1. Fetch the page and save headers
curl -sI https://example.com > /tmp/headers.txt
curl -sL https://example.com -o /tmp/page.html

# 2. Analyse and score
python scripts/analyse-html.py --headers /tmp/headers.json /tmp/page.html | \
    python scripts/calculate-score.py > /tmp/scores.json

# 3. Generate charts (with optional SEMrush data)
python scripts/generate-charts.py \
    --scores /tmp/scores.json \
    --semrush /tmp/semrush.json \
    --output-dir /tmp/charts

# 4. Generate branded reports
python scripts/generate-report.py \
    --scores /tmp/scores.json \
    --semrush /tmp/semrush.json \
    --url example.com \
    --charts-dir /tmp/charts \
    --brand assets/fat-agent-brand.png \
    --output-dir ./reports

# 5. Generate badge (for README)
cat /tmp/scores.json | python scripts/generate-badge.py --image --output fat-badge.svg
```
