Crawld and Ghost
Post metadata and content updated as drafts.
Status: Not built yet . this connector is not built. The page describes how delivery works on Ghost given the constraints of the platform, and what verification would honestly be available. Today you can run the free scorecard against a Ghost site without granting any access at all.
How fixes would arrive
Draft revisions through the Admin API, published by you.
Ghost’s Admin API writes posts and their metadata cleanly, which makes drafts straightforward.
There is no build to verify against on a hosted CMS, so the change is checked in preview instead. This rung is deliberately never labelled build-verified, because it is not.
What the rubric can see here
- Post titles, excerpts, meta titles and descriptions
- Canonical URLs set per post
- Structured data derived from post fields
Limits worth knowing before you plan around this
- Never build-verified
- Handlebars theme templates are not edited
Not build-verified. Ghost sits on Mode D, so a change delivered here is preview-verified: never build-verified. That badge means a build actually ran, and on this platform there is no build to run.
Where this sits on the ladder
| Mode | What we get | How changes arrive | Verification | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A · Repo write | A connected repository we can push a branch to | Opens a pull request. You review the diff and merge it. | Build-verified | Not built yet |
| B · Read-only repo | Read access, plus somewhere to push | Pushes to a fork or a branch you own. | Build-verified | Not built yet |
| C · Cloud mirror | A one-time snapshot or export | Works on a clone in our cloud, returns a patch or a PR. | Build-verified (mirror) | Not built yet |
| D · CMS drafts | OAuth into a hosted CMS | Writes unpublished drafts. You publish them. | Preview-verified | Not built yet |
| E · URL only | Nothing: a public URL | A scorecard and a patch you apply yourself. | Advisory only | Available now |
Build-verified means a build actually ran. It applies to modes A, B and C and to nothing else. A hosted CMS has no build to run, so mode D is preview-verified and mode E is advisory. Those labels are never blurred, because the honesty of the verification is the product.
What you can do today
Scan the site. The free scorecard needs no access to Ghost at all. It reads the published HTML the way a search or answer engine does, runs the full 129-check rubric against it, and reports what it could not measure rather than counting it as a pass.
Everything it finds is actionable by hand regardless of whether a connector ever exists, because the finding names the page and the change rather than a button to press.
