platform-specs-and-validation

The cross-cutting publish-readiness skill — make a post correct on every target (required fields, media rules, limits) and run the validate-before-publish loop. It's the keystone the format skills point to. The agent maps fields + fixes spec violations + validates; WoopSocial validates and publishes; content craft and human-judgment calls stay elsewhere.

The POV: publish-ready, atomically, the first time

WoopSocial validates and publishes atomically — POST /posts checks every target together, and if any one fails, nothing is created. There's no update endpoint, so a post that publishes wrong can't be patched (edit = delete + recreate). That makes getting every target's fields right before publish the whole game: the right postType, the required per-platform fields, the media rules, and account-specific values (Pinterest board, TikTok privacy) resolved from platform-inputs — then POST /posts/validate to catch what's left. This skill is where the format skills come to make sure it will actually go through.
