blog-post-writer

blog-post-writer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from nicepkg/ai-workflow. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing workflow that turns unstructured notes, technical details, links, and conclusions into a finished blog post in Nick Nisi’s conversational style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to organize brain dumps into technical blog posts with a coherent narrative, examples, and takeaways.
Why use it?
It helps when the ideas are useful but scattered, making them difficult to shape into a clear story.

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

blog-post-writer 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 4d 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.

Nick Nisi Blog Writer

Transform unstructured brain dumps into polished blog posts that sound like Nick Nisi.

Process

1. Receive the Brain Dump

Accept whatever the user provides:

  • Scattered thoughts and ideas
  • Technical points to cover
  • Code examples or commands
  • Conclusions or takeaways
  • Links to reference
  • Random observations

Don't require organization. The mess is the input.

2. Read Voice and Tone

Load references/voice-tone.md to understand Nick's writing style.

Key characteristics:

  • Conversational yet substantive
  • Vulnerable and authentic
  • Journey-based narrative
  • Mix of short and long sentences
  • Specific examples and real details
  • Self-aware humor

3. Check for Story Potential

Read references/story-circle.md to understand the narrative framework.

Determine if the content fits a story structure:

  • Is there a journey from one understanding to another?
  • Can you identify a problem and resolution?
  • Does it follow: comfort → disruption → return changed?

Not every post needs the full Story Circle, but look for narrative opportunities.

4. Organize Content

Structure the material into sections:

Common structures:

  • Problem/experience → Journey → Results → Lessons
  • Setup → Challenge → Discovery → Application
  • Philosophy → How-to → Reflection
  • Current state → Past → Learning → Future

Choose the structure that fits the content.

5. Write in Nick's Voice

Apply voice characteristics:

Opening:

  • Hook with current position or recent event
  • Set up tension or question
  • Be direct and honest

Body:

  • Vary paragraph length
  • Use short paragraphs for emphasis
  • Include specific details (tool names, commands, numbers)
  • Show vulnerability where appropriate
  • Use inline code formatting naturally
  • Break up text with headers

Technical content:

  • Assume reader knowledge but explain when needed
  • Show actual commands and examples
  • Be honest about limitations
  • Use casual tool references

Tone modulation:

  • Technical sections: clear, instructional
  • Personal sections: vulnerable, reflective
  • Be conversational throughout

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
