Short answer

How can I check heading hierarchy with my AI?

Your AI uses the audit_heading_hierarchy tool to scan content plans for skipped levels or broken HTML. This identifies structural errors before you start writing. You'll get a clear list of where the hierarchy breaks.

The results.

Where every issue lands.

The AI sorts its findings into these specific categories.

ERRORS

Broken HTML structures

The AI flags invalid tags or malformed markup. You get a list of specific lines that need fixing.

LOGIC

Skipped heading levels

It catches instances where an H3 follows an H1 without an H2. This helps maintain a logical outline.

HUMAN

Manual content review

The AI identifies semantic gaps that require a human to decide if the flow actually makes sense. You decide if the structure serves the reader.

CLEANUP

Ready to write briefs

Once the errors are cleared, the AI confirms the structure is valid. You can move straight to production.

The workflow

What your AI does when the brief arrives.

The AI takes your raw content plan and runs a technical audit.

  1. Scan structure

    The AI reads through the provided content plan to map out the existing heading tags.

    audit_heading_hierarchy

  2. Detect skips

    It looks for jumps in the hierarchy, such as moving from an H2 directly to an H4.

  3. Identify broken tags

FAQ

    Can the AI fix the HTML errors for me?

    No. The AI identifies the errors and tells you where they are, but you must make the actual changes to your files.

    Does it check the actual text content for quality?

    No. This tool only checks the technical HTML hierarchy and heading order.

  • 03

    Will it delete any of my content?

    No. The AI only reads the data to perform the audit; it has no permission to modify or delete your files.

    Yes, as long as your client is MCP-compatible, like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
