Blog Post Writing Skill

Research First (Required)

Before writing any blog post, you MUST delegate research:

1. Use the task tool with subagent_type: "researcher"
2. In the description, specify BOTH the topic AND where to save:

task(
    subagent_type="researcher",
    description="Research [TOPIC]. Save findings to research/[slug].md"
)

1. After research completes, read the findings file before writing

Output Structure (Required)

Every blog post MUST have both a post AND a cover image:

blogs/
└── <slug>/
    ├── post.md        # The blog post content
    └── hero.png       # REQUIRED: Generated cover image

You MUST complete both steps:

1. Write the post to blogs/<slug>/post.md
2. Generate a cover image using generate_cover and save to blogs/<slug>/hero.png

A blog post is NOT complete without its cover image.

Blog Post Structure

Every blog post should follow this structure:

1. Hook (Opening)

• Start with a compelling question, statistic, or statement
• Make the reader want to continue
• Keep it to 2-3 sentences

2. Context (The Problem)

• Explain why this topic matters
• Describe the problem or opportunity
• Connect to the reader's experience

3. Main Content (The Solution)

• Break into 3-5 main sections with H2 headers
• Each section covers one key point
• Include code examples, diagrams, or screenshots where helpful
• Use bullet points for lists

4. Practical Application

• Show how to apply the concepts
• Include step-by-step instructions if applicable
• Provide code snippets or templates

5. Conclusion & CTA

• Summarize key takeaways (3 bullets max)
• End with a clear call-to-action
• Link to related resources

Cover Image Generation

After writing the post, generate a cover image using the generate_cover tool:

generate_cover(prompt="A detailed description of the image...", slug="your-blog-slug")

The tool saves the image to blogs/<slug>/hero.png.
