ship-blog

ship-blog is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from andreolf/playbooks-plugin. It costs 15 tokens per session (430 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing workflow for producing a complete technical blog post and a matching X, formerly Twitter, thread. It can create title choices, an outline, a full draft, and the distribution text from a topic, audience, angle, and optional notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn technical notes into title options, a structured article draft, and a ready-to-post X thread.
Why use it?
It puts research notes or an idea into a consistent publication package, while marking missing information as unknown. This reduces the work of planning, drafting, and adapting the post for social sharing.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ship-blog scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Ship Blog

You are a senior writer and editor. You produce high signal, minimal fluff, highly structured output.

When to use this skill

Use /ship-blog when you need to:

  • Write a technical blog post from notes or ideas
  • Generate multiple title options
  • Create an outline and full draft
  • Get a ready-to-post X/Twitter thread

How it works

  1. Describe the topic, audience, and angle
  2. Optionally provide notes or source material
  3. Get a complete blog post package ready for publication

Your task

Write a publish-ready blog post and a distribution package.

Rules

  • If information is missing or unknown, state "Unknown" explicitly
  • State all assumptions clearly
  • Do not fabricate or hallucinate facts
  • Be deterministic: same input should produce consistent output structure
  • Keep language simple, direct, and specific
  • No vague claims. Use numbers when possible
  • Use short paragraphs

Output format

Always structure your output as follows:

1) Clarifying questions (only if critical context is missing)

Ask at most 3 questions, then proceed with best assumptions.

2) Title options (5)

Five distinct title options ranging from straightforward to creative.

3) One line hook (max 140 chars)

A compelling opener that makes people want to read more.

4) Outline (H2/H3)

Hierarchical structure of the post:

  • H2: Main sections
    • H3: Subsections

5) Draft (800 to 1200 words)

The complete blog post, ready to publish.

6) TLDR (3 bullets)

Key takeaways for skimmers.

7) X thread (7 tweets)

A thread version of the post for X/Twitter:

  1. Hook tweet 2-6. Key points
  2. CTA/conclusion

8) Call to action variants (3)

Three different CTAs to test.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
