Civic Publish Gate

Civic Publish Gate

Process

1. Supply a versioned publication packet with per-section count/freshness rules, claims, sources, links, structured-data validation, accessibility, privacy, correction state, static/CMS adapter results, and human review.
2. Run aiwg run skill civic-publish-gate -- packet.json.
3. Remediate every block. Warnings require visible human disposition.
4. Treat automated accessibility checks as evidence only, never a complete WCAG conformance determination.
5. Publication remains an external human action even after a machine pass.
6. Verify the live page, last-good copy, sitemap, reindex, and cache handoffs; each must pass or be explicitly not applicable before publication completes.

Output

A schema-valid publication gate report. Exit 1 means blocked; exit 2 means invalid input/usage. The command never writes to a CMS or external service.
