taiwanmd-validate: Article Quality Validation

Validate Taiwan.md articles against editorial standards, frontmatter schema, and content quality requirements.

Validation steps

1. Frontmatter validation

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && node scripts/test-frontmatter.mjs

Checks all articles for:

• Required fields: title, description, date, tags
• Valid date format
• Tags is an array
• No duplicate slugs
• Valid file naming

2. Check a specific article

Read the article and verify manually:

# Read the article
cat "knowledge/<Category>/<filename>.md" | head -30

Check:

• title — present and descriptive
• description — 1-2 sentences, contains the "counter-intuitive core insight"
• date — valid ISO date
• tags — array with 3-8 relevant tags
• featured — boolean (optional)
• lastHumanReview — set to true if human-reviewed
• lastVerified — date of last fact-check

3. Content quality check (article-health prose-health)

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && python3 scripts/tools/article-health.py "knowledge/<Category>/<filename>.md" --check=prose-health

Scores articles 0-10 for AI-generated "hollow" content. Score > 4 = needs rewrite.

Checks for:

• Bullet list padding (lazy structure)
• Missing specific dates/years
• Hollow modifiers ("非常", "極其", "值得注意的是")
• Excessive em-dashes (> 4 per article = AI signal)
• Textbook-style openings
• Missing source references

4. Reference check

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && node scripts/check-references.mjs

Verifies articles have "參考資料" or "延伸閱讀" sections with URLs.

5. Wikilink check

cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)" && node scripts/test-wikilinks.mjs

Validates all [[wikilink]] cross-references resolve to existing articles.

Quality standards (EDITORIAL v4)

Every article should:

1. Open with a named person — not an institution or abstract concept
2. Have a counter-intuitive core insight in the description
3. Include specific dates and numbers — not vague references
4. Cite sources — 參考資料 section with URLs
5. Word count ≥ 1,500 for full articles
6. Use wikilinks [[Article Name]] for cross-references
7. Multi-perspective for sensitive topics (politics, identity)

When to use

• After writing or editing an article
• When reviewing a PR that modifies knowledge/ files
• When the user asks "is this article good enough?"
• Before marking lastHumanReview: true
