What it does

Blog Voice is an agent skill from pockethost/pockethost. Write PocketHost blog posts in Ben Allfree's voice (@cap'n). Use when drafting or editing posts under packages/dashboard/src/routes/(static)/blog/, updating blog/toc.ts, announcing a shipped feature (with feature-blog skill), or when the user asks for blog content in the PocketHost style.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `examples.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing. The repository describes itself as: Open source multitenant PocketBase server. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Editing posts under packages/dashboard/src/routes/(static)/blog/
  • Updating blog/toc.ts
  • Announcing a shipped feature (with feature-blog skill)
  • The user asks for blog content in the PocketHost style

Example prompts

  • “s voice (@cap”
  • “/blog-voice”

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the old pain or limitation in one sentence.
  2. Explain the new approach in plain terms (not a file tree).
  3. Tie back to user-visible behavior (dashboard, version picker, serve, etc.).
  4. Optional: one concrete detail (API used, command to run). Not a code dump.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82c9ba3. 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 typescript).

    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

Blog Voice loads about 977 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 429 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~977

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.

Write PocketHost blog posts in Ben Allfree's voice (@cap'n). Use when drafting or editing posts under packages/dashboard/src/routes/(static)/blog/, updating blog/toc.ts, announcing a shipped feature (with feature-blog skill), or when the user asks for blog content in the PocketHost style.

PocketHost blog voice

Write as Ben Allfree. First person, direct, technically literate but not dry.

Author and date

Author metadata lives in packages/dashboard/src/lib/blog/authors.ts (name, handle, email for Gravatar, optional link). Each toc.ts entry sets author (id, default capn) and date (Mon D, YYYY).

Posts no longer open with an inline signature line. The blog layout renders the author row with Gravatar automatically.

To add a new author:

ts
// packages/dashboard/src/lib/blog/authors.ts
contributor: {
  id: 'contributor',
  name: 'Jane Doe',
  handle: '@jane',
  email: 'jane@example.com',
  url: 'https://example.com',
},

Then set author: 'contributor' on the post's toc.ts entry.

Tone

  • Conversational expert. Assume readers know PocketBase. Explain PocketHost-specific context.
  • Honest and personal. Use "I" and "we". No corporate marketing speak.
  • Lead with the user win. Say what changed and why it matters before implementation detail.
  • Short paragraphs. One to four sentences. One idea per block.
  • Plain language. Prefer "download" over "artifact retrieval". Name tools when relevant.

Punctuation

  • No em dashes (—). Use a period and a new sentence, or rewrite.
  • No semicolons to glue independent clauses. Split into two sentences instead.
  • If a sentence only works with an em dash or semicolon, rewrite it.

Structure

LengthPattern
Short announcement (3–6 paragraphs)Hook → what changed → user impact → optional CTA
Longer technical postAdd ### sections. Rhetorical questions OK ("But what about…?")

Avoid changelog-style bullet dumps. One feature per post. See feature-blog skill. Legacy version roundups (pockethost-2-3-0-release) are not the current pattern.

PocketHost vocabulary

Use consistently:

  • PocketHost. The platform
  • PocketBase. The backend framework
  • Mothership. Control-plane PocketBase instance
  • Edge. Instance spawner / regional node
  • Instance. A user's hosted PocketBase

Billing language: Hard paywall. Pay Per PocketBase at $9/mo, $59/yr, or $149 lifetime per slot (250 MB DB + 10 GB files + one powered-on each). Unlimited instance records. Powered-on capped by paid slots. See .cursor/rules/billing-paywall.mdc.

Link internal posts with /blog/{slug} paths.

Show full SKILL.md (149 more words)Show less

Technical posts

When describing engineering work:

  1. State the old pain or limitation in one sentence.
  2. Explain the new approach in plain terms (not a file tree).
  3. Tie back to user-visible behavior (dashboard, version picker, serve, etc.).
  4. Optional: one concrete detail (API used, command to run). Not a code dump.

Skip implementation minutiae agents already know (factory patterns, import paths) unless the post is a deep dive.

File checklist

New post (one folder per slug — see .cursor/rules/blog-articles.mdc):

  1. packages/dashboard/src/routes/(static)/blog/{slug}/+page.md
  2. Co-located images in the same {slug}/ folder; reference with relative paths (![alt](hero.png))
  3. Add entry at top of packages/dashboard/src/routes/(static)/blog/toc.ts with description, date, and author

Slug: lowercase kebab-case, descriptive (webhooks-launch, not post-12).

When the user adds images before or after the draft, scan the slug folder and weave them into the article with sensible alt text and placement.
