# 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.
