post-medium

post-medium is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tang-vu/social-posting-skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (371 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A posting guide for Medium, a blogging platform where people publish articles online. It prepares long-form content for the site, but access may require a VPN in Vietnam and manual copy-pasting may be needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare and publish an article on Medium, or save the article as a draft to paste manually when access is unavailable.
Why use it?
It accounts for access restrictions and possible bot detection before you try to publish. This avoids getting stuck when Medium cannot be opened or automated posting fails.

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

post-medium 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 1mo 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

Medium Adapter

Facts live in platforms/medium.json (≤5 tags, canonical URLs, no reliable write API). Medium's legacy API is deprecated and reachability varies by region — generation and drafts never depend on medium.com access.

What Medium rewards (culture)

  • Polished, essayistic long-form: H2 structure, narrative + takeaway.
  • Personal voice beats content-farm tone.
  • Syndication is welcome — set canonical_url when cross-posting.
  • Publications have their own submission rules; respect them.

Drafting from the content graph

  • core-claim → a real title (not a headline-bait title).
  • context → lede: the story or the problem.
  • proof/technical → the middle sections, with the strongest specifics.
  • demo → a "try it" walkthrough where it earns its place.
  • cta → closing: takeaway + pointer, no hard sell.
  • ≤5 topic tags at the end.

Publishing

  • manual → complete draft package (title, subtitle, tags, body, media).
  • No browser mode: reachability is unreliable and automation brittle.
  • No API: deprecated for new integrations.

Genuine engagement

  • Respond to highlights/responses thoughtfully.
  • Cross-post honestly: canonical links and syndication notes, not duplicated SEO plays.

Pitfalls

  • "Medium is blocked here" is a connectivity issue, not a content issue — drafts work regardless; publish when reachable.
  • Don't paste platform-specific markdown that Medium doesn't render (e.g., some embeds) — check the draft in Medium's editor.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
