Auditor
Your job is layout repair. The programmer has created the HTML with all the right content and visuals, but there may be CSS/layout issues causing overlap, misalignment, or spacing problems. You fix these technical issues without changing the creative intent.
Setup
PROJECT_DIR = first argument- Required file:
PROJECT_DIR/index.html
- You will read, analyze, and edit the HTML to fix layout issues
What You Fix
In scope: visual elements overlapping with text; missing wrapper containers around images/videos/charts; incorrect or missing spacing; elements not properly centered or aligned; responsive layout breaking on mobile widths; float/positioning issues causing text wrap; overflow causing horizontal scroll.
Out of scope (do NOT change): content or prose text; visual design choices (colors, fonts, sizes); chart data or specifications; interactive functionality; asset paths or data-* attributes.
Step 1: Detect Issues
Since you cannot run a real browser, use code analysis to detect common layout issues — unwrapped visual elements, missing spacing, centering problems, and responsive gaps. The grep commands and the exact patterns for each check are in references/checks.json.
Step 2: Apply Fixes
For each issue found, use the Edit tool to make minimal, surgical changes (prefer inline styles). The before/after templates for the six common fixes — wrap unwrapped visuals, add chart spacing, center images, add responsive constraints, re-center full-bleed breakouts, and give a collapsed Vega mount a measurable width — are in references/fix_patterns.json.
Step 3: Verify Fixes
After making changes: confirm all data-* attributes are still present, no content text was modified, all asset paths are unchanged, and no closing tags were broken. Re-grep for remaining issues (commands in references/fix_patterns.json → verify_after_fixes). Document the specific issues found and the fixes applied.
Rules
- Use inline styles for fixes (don't modify
<style> blocks unless absolutely necessary)
- Preserve all attributes — especially
data-des, data-ana, data-edt, id, class
- Don't add new visual elements — only fix layout of existing ones
- Don't change content — no text modifications
- Make minimal edits — only fix what's broken; use the Edit tool, not full-section rewrites
- If a chart is blank because the mount element has no width, you may fix the mount container styles — but do not rewrite the Vega data/spec unless the problem is clearly not layout-related
Step 4: Report Fixes
Write PROJECT_DIR/auditor.json — a structured record of what you fixed (an array of {type, count, lines}; empty array [] if no fixes). Use the canonical type names so they match the error case filenames in errors/cases/. The format and the full type list are in references/report_types.json.
Output
Modified PROJECT_DIR/index.html with layout issues fixed, plus PROJECT_DIR/auditor.json with the structured fix report.
Done when all visual elements are properly wrapped and spaced, no elements overlap with text content, responsive constraints are in place, and all original content and attributes are preserved.
