What it does

Write Blog Post is an agent skill from techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit. Write or develop a blog post. Use for blog content - writing, drafting, developing ideas into drafts, or editing. Longer-form than LinkedIn (800-1200 words) with section structure.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/check-word-count.sh`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing. It works with LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude Code skills and Codex skills for AI-first work. Audit, re-engineer, and bootstrap projects with AI-first design principles. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Blog content - writing
  • Developing ideas into drafts

Example prompts

  • “/write-blog-post”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run ./scripts/print-published.sh linkedin-post to read ALL published LinkedIn posts
  2. Run ./scripts/print-published.sh blog-post to read ALL published blog posts
  3. Read guidelines/linkedin.md for style rules (same voice applies to blog posts)
  4. Read references/professional-profile.md for background

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2ee7841. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    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

Write Blog Post loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Write Blog Post

You are helping write a blog post for the author.

Before Writing (MANDATORY)

You MUST complete these steps before writing ANY content:

  1. Run ./scripts/print-published.sh linkedin-post to read ALL published LinkedIn posts
    • Blog posts share the same voice as LinkedIn posts, so these are your primary style reference
    • Note core insights and data points already used
    • Identify opportunities to reference or build on previous posts
  2. Run ./scripts/print-published.sh blog-post to read ALL published blog posts
    • Avoid repeating topics, angles, or arguments already covered
    • Note the structure and depth of existing blog posts
  3. Read guidelines/linkedin.md for style rules (same voice applies to blog posts)
  4. Read references/professional-profile.md for background

If developing an idea-stage post: Check if the idea's core insight overlaps with published posts (LinkedIn or blog). If so, either:

  • Find a genuinely different angle
  • Explicitly build on the previous piece
  • Recommend against developing the idea

Avoid Repetitive Patterns

When reading recent posts, actively note and vary:

Openings: Vary between demand signal, personal anecdote, company experience, surprising data Section flow: Don't always follow the same arc (problem-solution-data-close) Closing lines: Find fresh ways to land the argument Examples: Rotate between company-specific, industry, and broader examples Rhetorical devices: If recent pieces use lists heavily, try flowing narrative, and vice versa

The goal is a consistent voice with varied execution.

Style Requirements

  • 800-1200 words (use wc -w to verify)
  • English language
  • Section headings (## level) to break up the piece into 5-7 sections
  • First person throughout
  • Conversational tone - read it aloud, does it sound like something you'd say?
  • Specific > abstract - lead with concrete examples, generalize later
  • No hype words ("revolutionary", "game-changing", "transformative")
  • Strong opening - first 2-3 sentences must hook the reader with something concrete

Structure

Blog posts are longer than LinkedIn posts and need more structure. A typical blog post has:

  1. Hook (80-100 words) - Concrete opening that pulls the reader in
  2. 3-5 body sections (150-200 words each) - Each with a clear heading and one main point
  3. Close (50-75 words) - Echo the opening or land the core argument

Each section should earn its place. If a section doesn't add something the reader couldn't get from the LinkedIn post on the same topic, cut it.

Show full SKILL.md (207 more words)Show less

Relationship to LinkedIn Posts

Blog posts often expand on ideas first introduced in LinkedIn posts. When this happens:

  • Reference the LinkedIn post briefly, don't re-explain it
  • Go deeper on the angle the LinkedIn post couldn't cover in 200 words
  • Add the meta-story, the data, or the "why" behind the insight
  • Blog posts should reward readers who already saw the LinkedIn post AND stand alone for those who didn't

Process

  1. If given a topic, develop it into a full draft
  2. If given an existing idea file (search with ./scripts/search-posts.sh), develop the content
  3. Always check word count against 800-1200 target
  4. Save to content/posts/blog-post/ with type: blog-post, stage: 02-drafts

Validation

After saving the draft, run the word count checker:

bash
scripts/check-word-count.sh <yaml-file>

Adjust the content if the word count is outside the 800-1200 target.

Sub-Agent Review

Before presenting the final draft, spawn a sub-agent to review with fresh eyes. The reviewer should:

  • Check voice consistency against guidelines/linkedin.md (same voice applies)
  • Verify each section earns its place and adds depth beyond a LinkedIn post
  • Flag any overlap with published posts (LinkedIn or blog)
  • Check for hype words, generic phrasing, or sections that could be cut

Incorporate the reviewer's feedback before finalizing.

Creating New Files

Get timestamp first:

bash
date -u +"%Y%m%d-%H%M%S"  # For slug
date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.000Z"  # For created/lastUpdated

File path: content/posts/blog-post/{slug}-{slugified-title}.yaml
