Research direction

Inspect the existing CI workflow configuration and the YAML files under data/. Compare the publiccode-parser-action and publiccode-parser-go options, then run the chosen parser against every .yml file on pull requests. Done means malformed publiccode.yml files cause CI to fail before merge.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The repository has no automated validation of the publiccode.yml files in data/. Adding a check would catch structural errors in PRs before merge.

The publiccode-parser-action GitHub Action or the publiccode-parser-go CLI (also available as Docker image) can validate files against the spec.

Suggested approach: add a CI workflow that runs the parser against all .yml files in data/ on every PR.
