  2. Load Taxonomy

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d167b41. 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 (its code samples are markdown and json).

    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

Pre Publish Post Assistant loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 424 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

description
Pre-publish assistant for new blog posts. Use when the user wants to classify a new post with categories and tags, generate SEO metadata (title, description, focus keyphrase), or get intelligent suggestions with rationale. Works with draft content (file path, URL, or text) and suggests from existing taxonomy to maintain balanced distribution.

Pre-publish Post Assistant Skill

Purpose

This skill helps prepare blog posts for publication by providing intelligent suggestions for:

  1. Categories - From existing site categories, with distribution awareness
  2. Tags - From existing tags, avoiding tag pollution
  3. SEO Metadata - Title, meta description, and focus keyphrase

All suggestions include rationale explaining the reasoning.

When to Use This Skill

  • User says "classify this post" or "suggest categories/tags"
  • User asks to "prepare this post for publishing"
  • User wants "SEO suggestions" for a draft
  • User provides a draft post and asks for taxonomy suggestions
  • User mentions "new blog post" and needs categorization help

Key Principles

Category Selection
  • Limit to 1-2 categories per post (primary + optional secondary)
  • Prefer categories with moderate post counts (avoid over/under-populated)
  • Match content theme, not just keywords
  • Consider category hierarchy if applicable
Tag Selection
  • Limit to 3-5 tags per post
  • Only use existing tags (no new tag creation unless explicitly requested)
  • Avoid tag pollution (tags with only 1-2 posts are low value)
  • Prefer tags that group related content meaningfully
  • Consider tag search potential
SEO Metadata
  • Title: 50-60 characters, include primary keyword, compelling
  • Meta Description: 150-160 characters, summarize value proposition, include CTA
  • Focus Keyphrase: 2-4 words, searchable, relevant to content

Input Formats

The skill accepts draft content in multiple formats:

# File path
"Classify this post: /path/to/draft.md"

# URL (for already-published posts needing optimization)
"Suggest tags for https://example.com/my-post/"

# Inline text
"Here's my draft: [content]... What categories fit?"

Data Sources

Categories and Tags

Can be retrieved from:

  1. WordPress GraphQL - Live data from WP
  2. Static dist folder - Parse from built site (/category/, /tag/ pages)
  3. Cached taxonomy file - Pre-generated taxonomy.json

Distribution Data

For balanced suggestions, the skill needs post counts per category/tag:

  • Categories: Aim for even distribution, flag if category would become oversized
  • Tags: Prefer tags with 5+ posts, warn about orphan tags

Output Format

markdown
## Suggested Categories

| Category | Post Count | Confidence | Rationale |
|----------|------------|------------|-----------|
| personal-development | 245 | High | Core theme matches self-improvement focus |
| productivity-effectiveness | 89 | Medium | Secondary theme around habits and routines |

**Recommendation**: Use "personal-development" as primary category.

---

## Suggested Tags

| Tag | Post Count | Confidence | Rationale |
|-----|------------|------------|-----------|
| habits | 45 | High | Central topic of the post |
| productivity | 67 | High | Directly discussed |
| morning-routine | 12 | Medium | Specific example in content |

**Recommendation**: Use all 3 tags. Avoid creating new tags.

---

**Meta Description** (156 chars):

Quick Tag Check

        "Based on your existing tags, I recommend:
        - bitcoin (89 posts) - primary topic
        - cryptocurrency (45 posts) - broader category
        - investing (23 posts) - relevant angle

        Avoid creating new tags like 'etf' or 'institutional' unless you plan
        to write more content on these specific topics."
SEO Focus
User: "Generate SEO metadata for my post about productivity apps for remote workers"

Claude: [Analyzes topic and search intent]

        Title: "Best Productivity Apps for Remote Workers in 2025 | Your Blog"

        swear by. From task management to focus tools, find the perfect
        stack for your home office."

        Focus Keyphrase: "productivity apps remote workers"
