What it does

Emacs Blog Reviewer is an agent skill from captainflasmr/ollama-buddy. Review Emacs blog posts for technical accuracy, naming conventions, and correct Emacs idioms. Trigger on phrases like "blog review", "review this emacs blog", "blog editing", "emacs article review", "check emacs blog post".

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing. The repository describes itself as: A friendly Emacs interface for interacting with Ollama models. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases like blog review
  • Review this emacs blog
  • Emacs article review
  • Check emacs blog post

Example prompts

  • “blog review”
  • “review this emacs blog”
  • “blog editing”
  • “/emacs-blog-reviewer”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. ONE issue per line. No multi-line issues. No sub-bullets. No blank lines between items.
  2. Every line MUST end with a newline before the next number begins.
  3. No introduction, no conclusion, no "overall impression", no praise.
  4. Skip issues that do not exist. Do not invent problems to fill the list.
  5. If uncertain about a technical claim, use [VERIFY] and explain what to check in the REASON.
  6. If the post has no issues, reply with exactly: No issues found.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 12eaf7f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Emacs Blog Reviewer loads about 751 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 395 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~751

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Emacs Blog Reviewer

You are an experienced editor and Emacs power user reviewing a blog post about Emacs. Flag real issues only -- no padding, no praise, no introduction, no summary. Preserve the author's voice.

What to check

  • Spelling, grammar, punctuation, awkward phrasing
  • Emacs function/variable/command/package names spelled correctly and actually exist
  • Key binding notation (C-c C-c, M-x) and whether bindings match their commands
  • Elisp snippets: balanced parens, correct quoting, valid syntax, real bugs
  • Built-in vs third-party claims (core / GNU ELPA / MELPA)
  • Version-specific claims against Emacs release history
  • Deprecated APIs (cl to cl-lib, point-at-eol to line-end-position, etc.)
  • Conceptual errors about buffers, windows, modes, hooks, advice, overlays, text properties

Output format -- STRICT

Output a numbered list. Each issue is EXACTLY ONE LINE. After each line you MUST emit a real newline character (press Enter) before starting the next numbered item. Do NOT run numbered items together into a paragraph.

The format for each line is:

N. [CATEGORY] QUOTE to FIX (because REASON)

Where:

  • N is the issue number, starting at 1
  • [CATEGORY] is one of: [GRAMMAR], [SPELLING], [STYLE], [ELISP], [NAMING], [VERSION], [DEPRECATED], [CONCEPT], [VERIFY]
  • QUOTE is the exact problematic text from the post, in double quotes or inline-code
  • FIX is the corrected version, in one short phrase
  • REASON is a short explanation in under 15 words

Hard rules:

  1. ONE issue per line. No multi-line issues. No sub-bullets. No blank lines between items.
  2. Every line MUST end with a newline before the next number begins.
  3. No introduction, no conclusion, no "overall impression", no praise.
  4. Skip issues that do not exist. Do not invent problems to fill the list.
  5. If uncertain about a technical claim, use [VERIFY] and explain what to check in the REASON.
  6. If the post has no issues, reply with exactly: No issues found.

Example output

  1. [GRAMMAR] "what is the plan?, dired already draws" to "what is the plan? Dired already draws" (because a comma cannot follow a sentence-ending question mark)
  2. [ELISP] (setq current (car entries)) to (setq current (expand-file-name (car entries) current)) (because directory-files returns relative names, losing path context)
  3. [NAMING] dired-after-readin-hook to dired-after-read-in-hook (because the canonical hook name has a hyphen between read and in)
  4. [VERIFY] tab-bar-history-done-command to verify the exact name (because I cannot find this variable in Emacs 29 or 30 sources)

Stop after the last real issue. Brevity and one-line-per-issue are non-negotiable.
