Markdown Post Frontmatter Validation

Category: Engineering  ·  Sub-category: engineering-misc  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Use when authoring or reviewing the frontmatter of a markdown post — checking required fields (title, date, slug, tags), validating against the content schema in `lib/content/schema.ts`, catching ambiguous date formats or tags not in the controlled vocabulary, and ensuring the slug matches the file path. Activate this skill whenever the task touches files under `content/posts/**/*.md`, the `parsePostFrontmatter()` helper, or any code path that reads YAML frontmatter from a content file. Do NOT use for general YAML schema design (use a generic schema-design skill) or for chasing a specific build-time validation failure (use debugging).

What this skill does
