One-line value: Use metadata-contract-cheatsheet as an execution-ready playbook, not a note.

When to use: Use this page when you need to execute this workflow in one focused session.

QUICK RESULT

If you only do one thing → complete the first checklist pass and publish one usable draft/output today.

ACTION CHECKLIST

• [ ] Clarify the exact output and success metric before starting.
• [ ] Gather required inputs from one trusted source only.
• [ ] Execute the workflow in sequence without adding side tasks.
• [ ] Run one quality check and fix the highest-risk issue first.
• [ ] Save the final result with a short reuse note.

EXAMPLE / DEMO

Before: Notes are scattered and decisions are unclear.

After: Inputs are structured, steps are executed, and the output is ready to use immediately.

WHY IT WORKS

• Converts vague intent into an explicit sequence.
• Emphasizes shipping one validated result fast.
• Creates repeatability for future runs.

NEXT ACTION

• Run this checklist on one live task now; keep scope to a single measurable outcome.

Source notes (kept for context)

Required (recommended)

• title: human-readable title

• summary: one-line value for cards and lists

• tags: must include base tag (posts / news / tools)

Dates

• updated: use when the item is edited later (preferred for entryDate)

• date: initial publish date (fallback)

The site uses: entryDate = updated || date.

Optional

• description: longer text (used only if summary is missing)

• eleventyExcludeFromCollections: for pages that should not show up in lists
