post-medium

post-medium is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tang-vu/social-posting-skills. It costs 11 tokens per session (1,268 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 11d 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.

Medium Posting Skill

Platform Overview

Medium is a popular blogging platform with strong Google SEO (domain authority 96). Articles can reach millions through Medium's internal recommendation engine and external search traffic. 100M+ monthly readers. Great for thought leadership and reaching audiences beyond the developer community.

IMPORTANT: Vietnam Access Limitation

Medium is BLOCKED in Vietnam. The browser agent will NOT be able to access medium.com without a VPN.

Workarounds

  1. VPN Required: User must enable VPN before the agent attempts to post
  2. Pre-check: Before posting, navigate to https://medium.com and verify it loads
  3. If blocked: Save the article content to posts/drafts/medium_post.md and instruct the user to:
    • Enable VPN
    • Open medium.com manually
    • Copy-paste the content
  4. Alternative: The agent can retry after the user confirms VPN is active

Automation Flow with VPN

  1. Ask user: "Medium is blocked in Vietnam. Is your VPN active?"
  2. If yes: proceed with browser automation
  3. If no: save draft and inform user to enable VPN first

Due to VPN requirement and potential bot detection, Medium uses Manual Paste mode. The agent generates content and saves it to posts/drafts/medium_post.md.

Platform Constraints

  • Length: No character limit — 5-10 minute reads perform best (1,500-3,000 words)
  • Format: Rich text editor, supports code blocks, images, embeds
  • Tags: Up to 5 tags per story
  • Paywall: Can publish behind Medium's paywall (Partner Program) for earnings
  • Publications: Can submit to publications for 10x-100x wider reach
  • Canonical URL: Set canonical URL when cross-posting from your blog

Content Format

# {Title -- compelling and keyword-rich}

{Subtitle / deck -- 1 sentence summary}

{Opening hook: personal story, surprising stat, or bold claim}

---

## {Section 1: Context/Problem}
{Content explaining the background}

## {Section 2: Solution/How-To}
{Main content with code blocks, images, examples}

## {Section 3: Results/Analysis}
{Data, outcomes, lessons}

## Conclusion
{Summary + what the reader should do next}

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.
