Search Intent

operational checklist. The article must answer the reader's operational question before any commercial route appears.

Reader Artifact

Reusable checklist, table, or runbook from the article body. This artifact is the reason the article can be saved, cited, or reused by an operator.

Structured Data

Recommended schema: Article, BreadcrumbList. Keep BreadcrumbList aligned with /resources/claude-code-ops-cards-blog/review-card-rubric/. Do not add Product, Offer, Review, Rating, or FAQPage schema for this wave unless a later approved public page visibly supports it.

CTA Route

Primary route: /services/diagnostic-sprint/.

CTA label: Use the related checklist or diagnostic route.

CTA family: diagnostic_sprint.

Use this route only after the article artifact has clarified the next operational step. Public forms, accounts, and payments are intentionally not part of this resource page.

The CTA stays measured and specific, with no public payment or account route on this page.

Public-Preflight NG Items

  • Fake client proof, fake metrics, fake awards, or guaranteed outcomes.
  • Public account, form, payment, repo, domain, or outreach route before checks pass.
  • Unapproved cross-brand, unrelated monetization, or off-topic trust route.
  • Unsupported claims about SEO, ranking, revenue, or tool behavior.
  • Machine-like slug, broken internal link, missing schema plan, or missing measurement slot.

Review fails when every output is treated as either "done" or "not done." Real delegated work often sits between those states. A review card should let the reviewer mark PASS, REPAIR, or NO_GO with a reason.

That small distinction prevents two common mistakes: accepting thin work because it looks complete, and discarding useful work because one section needs repair.

Detailed Review Questions

AreaQuestionEvidence to inspect
ScopeDid the worker edit only the allowed scope?File list, diff, manifest
InputsDid the worker read and use the required inputs?References, terminology, required headings
OutputAre all requested artifacts present?File inventory, required sections
Internal consistencyDo links, filenames, slugs, and metadata match?Manifest, article slots, canonical paths
SafetyWere approval-gated actions avoided?Commands run, routes used, final notes
ValueDoes the artifact solve a real operator task?Checklist, rubric, table, runbook

Common Review Failures

FailureWhat it looks likeRequired repair
Evidence gap"Completed" with no checksAdd commands, scan results, or manual QA
Scope driftAdjacent folder editedExplain, revert only if authorized, or isolate
Template thinnessGeneric advice without fieldsAdd copyable card fields and examples
Route mismatchCTA points to wrong service laneRestore approved placeholder route
Schema creepExtra schema added without visible supportReturn to Article and BreadcrumbList

Natural CTA

Use the rubric before accepting the next worker output. If several cards already exist but review states are inconsistent, the ops card diagnostic route can identify which cards need repair before the team starts an Implementation Sprint.
