refactor(skill): rename validate → web-validate

Clearer scoped name for the W3C + WCAG skill. Updated: folder (git mv),
frontmatter name, H1 title, command refs, CLAUDE.md routing, 6 profiles
(functional — activate the skill by folder name), cross-refs in
harden/seo/depth-matrix/client-handover, agent dispatch refs, README +
USAGE tables.

Confidentiality: the client-deliverable leak-guard regex
(client-handover-writer.md) now matches BOTH /web-validate and legacy
/validate, so older client docs stay covered.

Left intentionally: validator-analyzer agent name (lockstep with
subagent_type + registry), .validate-cache/ + VALIDATE.md (audit-file
family {SEO,GEO,HARDEN,CSO,VALIDATE}.md), .claude/ history (append-only),
CHANGELOG old entry (added a new "renamed" entry instead). NL trigger
keywords kept so "validate" still routes here. Third-party html-validate
untouched.

name: web-validate
description: |
Use when a web project needs W3C HTML/CSS validity check or WCAG 2.1
accessibility audit. Dispatches the validator-analyzer agent with a
STRICT scope filter (no meta/OG/JSON-LD/CWV/security-header noise).
Triggers: "validate", "validation", "w3c", "html validity",
"css validity", "wcag", "accessibility", "a11y audit", "axe", "pa11y",
"wave", "validator.w3.org", "nu validator", "accessibilité",
"audit a11y", "audit wcag", "normes w3c", "conformité web".
For CSP/HSTS/404 → /harden. For meta/sitemap → /seo. For AI engines → /geo.

# /web-validate — web standards audit (W3C + WCAG)
This skill orchestrates a narrow-scope standards audit :
- **W3C HTML validity** — validator.nu API (FULL) or `html-validate` /
`vnu.jar` (LOCAL) or static fallback.
- **W3C CSS validity** — jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator API (FULL) or
`stylelint` / `css-tree` (LOCAL) or static fallback.
- **WCAG 2.1 accessibility** — `pa11y` / `@axe-core/cli` / WAVE API
(FULL) or axe against built HTML (LOCAL) or static checklist.
Scope boundary :
- **In** : HTML syntactic validity (DOCTYPE, required attrs, tag
nesting, ID uniqueness, heading hierarchy), CSS syntactic validity
(parsing errors, unknown properties, at-rule misuse), WCAG 2.1 A /
AA / AAA violations (ARIA, landmarks, contrast, keyboard, SR
affordances, alt text).
- **Out** : meta tags (title/description/OG), JSON-LD / Schema.org,
sitemap.xml, robots.txt, llms.txt, security headers (HSTS/CSP),
cookie flags, Core Web Vitals, image compression, hreflang, i18n
routing, generic code linting (ESLint, Prettier), TypeScript type
errors.
If a finding appears in an out-of-scope area (e.g. missing meta
description), the agent drops it silently — `/web-validate` stays focused.
### Relation to other skills
- `/onboard` runs an initial a11y audit at project setup (axe or
static checklist → `.onboard-audit/a11y.md`). `/web-validate` is the
**on-demand** equivalent, re-runnable anytime against the current
codebase, and also covers HTML/CSS validity (which `/onboard` does
not).
- `/harden` audits security posture (headers, TLS, redirects).
`/web-validate` audits conformance. They share no findings.
- `/seo` and `/geo` audit indexability. They may flag the same HTML
features (alt attrs, heading structure) but from a ranking
perspective. `/web-validate` flags from a **standards** perspective
(WCAG SC number, W3C rule id). Findings may overlap — both reports
are still valid.
---
## STEP 0 — Collect context
### Parse arguments
- If `$ARGUMENTS` contains `https?://<url>` → `TARGET_URL`.
- Extract `DOMAIN` from `TARGET_URL` : `DOMAIN=${TARGET_URL#http*://}; DOMAIN=${DOMAIN%%/*}`.
- If `$ARGUMENTS` contains `--fix` → `MODE=fix`. Else `MODE=audit`.
- If `--local` → `DEPTH=LOCAL`. If `--full` → `DEPTH=FULL`.
- If URL present and no depth flag → default `DEPTH=FULL`.
- If no URL and no depth flag → default `DEPTH=LOCAL`.
- If `--no-external` → `EXTERNAL=off`. Else `on`.
- `EXTERNAL` auto-off in LOCAL mode (no URL to scan remotely).
### Detect HTML / CSS files
```bash
HTML_COUNT=$(find . -name "*.html" \
-not -path "*/node_modules/*" \
-not -path "*/dist/*" \
-not -path "*/.next/*" \
-not -path "*/.validate-cache/*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
CSS_COUNT=$(find . -name "*.css" \
-not -path "*/node_modules/*" \
-not -path "*/dist/*" \
-not -path "*/.next/*" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
```
If both counts are 0 and no URL provided → abort with :
```
⚠️ No HTML or CSS files found and no URL provided. /web-validate needs
either local files or a live URL. Re-run with --full <url>.
```
### Detect framework
```bash
FRAMEWORK="static"
[ -f astro.config.mjs ] || [ -f astro.config.ts ] && FRAMEWORK="astro"
[ -f next.config.js ] || [ -f next.config.mjs ] || [ -f next.config.ts ] && FRAMEWORK="next"
[ -f vite.config.js ] || [ -f vite.config.ts ] && FRAMEWORK="vite"
[ -f svelte.config.js ] && FRAMEWORK="svelte"
[ -f nuxt.config.js ] || [ -f nuxt.config.ts ] && FRAMEWORK="nuxt"
[ -f vue.config.js ] && FRAMEWORK="vue"
```
For JS frameworks, HTML validity must target built output. Check for
build dir :
```bash
BUILD_DIR=""
for d in dist _site build out public; do
[ -d "$d" ] && BUILD_DIR="$d" && break
done
```
If framework is JS-based and `BUILD_DIR` is empty, warn :
```
⚠️ Framework detected : <name>. No build output found.
HTML validity on JSX/TSX source is not meaningful.
Options :
1. Run `npm run build` then re-run /web-validate
2. Use --full <url> to audit production
3. Continue with partial LOCAL audit (CSS + static WCAG only)
```
### Detect LOCAL tooling
```bash
HAS_HTML_VALIDATE=$(npx --no-install html-validate --version >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo yes || echo no)
HAS_STYLELINT=$(npx --no-install stylelint --version >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo yes || echo no)
HAS_AXE=$(npx --no-install @axe-core/cli --version >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo yes || echo no)
HAS_PA11Y=$(npx --no-install pa11y --version >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo yes || echo no)
HAS_VNU=$([ -f /usr/share/vnu/vnu.jar ] || [ -f /opt/vnu/vnu.jar ] && echo yes || echo no)
```
Missing tools are NOT blockers — agent falls back to remote APIs
(FULL) or static checks.
### Display collected context
```
VALIDATE — context
URL : <url or — (local mode)>
Domain : <domain or —>
Depth : LOCAL | FULL
Mode : audit | fix
External : on | off (auto-off in LOCAL)
HTML files : <N>
CSS files : <N>
Framework : <astro | next | vite | svelte | nuxt | vue | static>
Build dir : <dist/ | _site/ | ... | — none found>
Local tools : html-validate=<y/n>, stylelint=<y/n>, axe=<y/n>, pa11y=<y/n>, vnu=<y/n>
```
If MODE=fix, warn :
```
⚠️ Fixes proposés comme diffs. Appliqués seulement après confirmation.
```
---
## STEP 1 — Dispatch validator-analyzer
Spawn a single `validator-analyzer` subagent with explicit scope and
collected context :
```
Agent(
subagent_type="validator-analyzer",
description="validate — W3C HTML + CSS + WCAG audit",
prompt="""
Dispatched from /web-validate. STRICT SCOPE — W3C HTML validity + W3C
CSS validity + WCAG 2.1 accessibility ONLY.
CONTEXT:
TARGET_URL : <url or "none — LOCAL mode">
DOMAIN : <domain or —>
DEPTH : <LOCAL | FULL>
MODE : <audit | fix>
EXTERNAL : <on | off>
HTML_FILES : <count>
CSS_FILES : <count>
FRAMEWORK : <name>
BUILD_DIR : <path or "none">
LOCAL_TOOLS : html-validate=<y/n>, stylelint=<y/n>, axe=<y/n>, pa11y=<y/n>, vnu=<y/n>
Execute your spec at $HOME/.claude/agents/validator-analyzer.md
starting at STEP 1 (skip STEP 0 — context is above).
OUT OF SCOPE — DROP silently if encountered :
- meta tags (title/description/OG/Twitter/canonical)
- JSON-LD / Schema.org / microdata
- sitemap.xml, robots.txt, llms.txt
- AI crawler directives
- security headers (HSTS/CSP/X-Frame-Options/cookie flags)
- Core Web Vitals, perf budgets
- hreflang, i18n routing
- image compression, video formats
- generic code linting (ESLint, Prettier, TS errors)
Mode behavior :
- MODE=audit : NO file modifications. Report-only. Propose fixes
as diffs in the report (```diff blocks), do NOT apply.
- MODE=fix : Report issues, then produce Fix bundle (§5) with
concrete diffs for auto-fixable items. STOP and emit
"READY TO APPLY — awaiting dispatcher confirmation" at the end
of §5. Do NOT apply any Edit/Write — the dispatcher handles STEP 3.
Output: write <PROJECT_ROOT>/.claude/audits/VALIDATE.md (run `mkdir -p .claude/audits` first) per the structure in your
spec (sections 0-8, score XX/100).
"""
)
```
---
## STEP 2 — Verify output
```bash
test -s .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md && wc -l .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md || echo "MISSING .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md"
```
If missing or empty :
```
⚠️ validator-analyzer did not produce .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md. Options :
A) Retry with same scope
B) Downgrade to LOCAL and retry (if FULL failed on network)
C) Abort
```
Extract the score and critical-alert count from `.claude/audits/VALIDATE.md` for the
console summary :
```bash
grep -oE '\*\*Score\*\*\s+:\s+[0-9]+ / 100' .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md | head -1
grep -c '^### \[Critique\]' .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md
```
---
## STEP 3 — Apply fixes (MODE=fix only)
Skip this step if `MODE=audit`.
If `.claude/audits/VALIDATE.md` ends with `READY TO APPLY — awaiting dispatcher confirmation` :
1. Parse the `## 5. Fix bundle` section.
2. Group by file. For each group, show the combined diff to the user.
3. Ask :
```
VALIDATE — fix bundle ready
Files to modify (N) :
- src/Layout.astro (3 fixes : lang attr, alt="", heading renumber)
- src/styles/main.css (1 fix : invalid property removed)
- src/pages/contact.html (2 fixes : unclosed tag, duplicate id)
Critical : X | Haute : Y | Moyenne : Z | Basse : W
Options :
A) Apply all
B) Review each diff before applying
C) Apply only Critique + Haute
D) Abort — keep .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md as audit report
```
4. On `A` : apply each bundle via `Edit` (targeted `old_string` /
`new_string`). Never use `Write` on shared templates (risk of
overwriting /seo or /geo content — meta tags, JSON-LD).
5. On `B` : for each diff, show and ask yes/no/skip.
6. On `C` : filter to Critique + Haute, then behave as `A`.
7. On `D` : stop, leave `.claude/audits/VALIDATE.md` untouched.
After applying, append a `## 8. Changes applied` section with
commit-ready summary lines :
```markdown
## 8. Changes applied
Date : <ISO-8601>
Files modified : <N>
Fixes applied : <N>
### src/Layout.astro
- [Haute][HTML] Added `lang="en"` to `<html>` (WCAG 3.1.1, W3C required attr)
- [Haute][WCAG AA] Added `alt=""` to decorative icon at line 42
- [Moyenne][HTML] Renumbered h3 → h2 (heading hierarchy, line 67)
### src/styles/main.css
- [Moyenne][CSS] Removed invalid property `bakground` → `background` at line 23
Verification :
- Re-run /web-validate → expected score bump <before> → <after>
- Tests to run : a11y regression (pa11y-ci), visual snapshot
```
Never apply fixes without explicit confirmation.
Never use `--no-verify` on git hooks.
---
## STEP 4 — Console summary
```
VALIDATE AUDIT COMPLETE
URL : <url or static>
Depth : LOCAL | FULL
Mode : audit | fix
Score : XX / 100 (<before> → <after> if fix applied)
Report : .claude/audits/VALIDATE.md
BREAKDOWN :
W3C HTML : <N errors / M warnings>
W3C CSS : <N errors / M warnings>
WCAG 2.1 : <N A> / <M AA> / <K AAA> violations, <L incomplete>
TOP 3 ACTIONS (by severity × user impact) :
1. [Critique] <title> — <file:line>
2. [Haute] <title>
3. [Haute] <title>
NEXT STEPS :
• /web-validate <url> --fix → apply recommended fixes
• /web-validate <url> --full → re-run with live URL + remote APIs
• /web-validate --no-external → skip third-party APIs (faster, LOCAL-like)
• /harden / /seo / /geo → complementary audits (other scopes)
Install for better LOCAL coverage :
npm i -D html-validate stylelint @axe-core/cli pa11y
```
---
## Rules
- **Scope is non-negotiable.** If you find yourself reporting meta
tags, sitemap, CSP, or JSON-LD, you drifted. Drop it. `/harden`,
`/seo`, `/geo` own those respectively.
- **Single agent dispatch.** Only `validator-analyzer`. No parallel
fan-out.
- **Never apply fixes without user confirmation**, even in `--fix`.
The fix mode prepares the bundle; the dispatcher confirms (A/B/C/D).
- **LOCAL vs FULL is about data sources**, not scope. Both cover the
same 3 axes. LOCAL may be degraded if local tools missing (agent
falls back to static checks — flagged "STATIC MODE" in report).
- **Framework awareness.** For SPA/JS frameworks, validate built
output (`dist/`, `_site/`, `build/`, `out/`), not JSX/TSX source.
Warn if no build dir present.
- **Respect CLAUDE.md architecture rules.** Public websites must ship
WCAG 2.1 AA per France RGAA 4.1 when in scope. Flag AA violations
as Haute, A violations as Critique.
- **External validators are authoritative on live URLs.** validator.nu
and jigsaw are the W3C backends. If a local tool disagrees with
them, trust the W3C backend; flag the divergence as a finding.
- **One report file.** `.claude/audits/VALIDATE.md`. On re-run, move
previous content to a `## Historique` section, do not overwrite
silently.
- **Cache dir.** `.validate-cache/` (gitignored) stores raw tool
outputs for debugging. Do not commit.
- **Conservative auto-fix.** Only structural/syntactic fixes with no
ambiguity. Content decisions (alt text, labels, contrast choices)
always go to §6 User actions — never auto-applied.
