setup-blog-module

setup-blog-module is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kostja94/openblog. It costs 56 tokens per session (918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating a new OpenBlog instance from scratch. It scaffolds the project, sets its configuration and theme, prepares deployment settings, and verifies the build.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a new blog project, configure its site details, content location, theme, and optional features, then check that it builds before deployment.
Why use it?
It provides a starting path for a standalone blog or local demo when there is no existing product website to connect. It is not the default workflow for adding a blog to an existing site.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is Do you want to mount `/blog` on an **existing product site** (→ [INTEGRATION.md](../../INTEGRATION.md)), or **run a local demo first** (→ `create-openblog`)?.

Good fit Use it to create a new blog project, configure its site details, content location, theme, and optional features, then check that it builds before deployment.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

setup-blog-module 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 3d 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.

Setup Blog Module

Greenfield workflow for a new OpenBlog instance. Use when the user does not have an existing product site to integrate, or explicitly wants a local demo before INTEGRATION.

Agent: confirm with the user

If unclear, ask:

Do you want to mount /blog on an existing product site (→ INTEGRATION.md), or run a local demo first (→ create-openblog)?

Only use this skill after they choose greenfield / try-first.

When to use

  • User wants a new blog from zero (standalone, subdirectory, or subdomain)
  • User needs openblog.config.ts, env, theme, or features configured
  • User asks to verify the project builds before first deploy

Steps

1. Scaffold

git clone https://github.com/kostja94/openblog.git
cd openblog
npm run create-openblog -- my-blog

Options: --dir <name>, --preset vercel-geist, --no-install. See packages/create-openblog/README.md.

2. Configure openblog.config.ts

At repo root, set:

  • site — name, description, locale, url
  • content — adapter and content dir (default templates/next/content/blog)
  • theme — preset id or custom; run theme:sync after changes
  • features — toggle categories, tags, authors, RSS (see docs/features.md in monorepo, or FEATURES.md in scaffolded projects)
  • components.optional — Blog Chrome toggles (TOC, share bar, etc.)

The flags select existing OpenBlog UI. If the user needs a new or substantially redesigned named component, use Bricks component-builder and implement the result in the target project rather than adding component guidance to this skill.

3. Deploy environment

Copy templates/next/.env.example → .env.local:

SITE_URL=https://yourdomain.com
DEPLOY_MODE=subdirectory   # subdirectory | subdomain | standalone
BLOG_BASE_PATH=/blog       # subdirectory only
# ASSET_PREFIX=/blog       # if static assets 404 behind reverse proxy

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.
