What it does

Blogpost Creator is an agent skill from Xe/site. Create new blogposts from a template or linkposts using the hydrate command.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `extract-meta.js`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing. The repository describes itself as: The new frontend/backend code for https://xeiaso.net. The licence is Zlib.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Blog and article writing

Example prompts

  • “/blogpost-creator”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, Bash(go run *), Edit, Write

Workflow steps

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

  1. For linkposts: Extracts slug from URL basename if no custom slug provided (e.g., https://example.com/blog/my-post becomes "my-post")
  2. For other post types: Generates a URL-friendly slug from your title (or uses your custom slug)
  3. For linkposts: Can auto-fetch title, description, and publication date from the provided URL
  4. Validates that linkposts have a URL provided (prompts if missing)
  5. Runs go run ./cmd/hydrate with the appropriate parameters
  6. For linkposts: Updates the redirect_to field in the frontmatter with the provided URL
  7. For linkposts: Adds fetched summary to the post body if available
  8. Opens the created file in VS Code for editing
  9. Shows you the file location for reference

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ca51680. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • WebFetch
    • Bash(go run *)
    • Edit
    • Write

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • go

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • anubis.techaro.lol

    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

Blogpost Creator loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Blog Post Creator

Create new blog posts for Xe's site using the hydrate command.

Usage

Invoke this skill when you want to create a new blog post. The skill will prompt you for:

  • Post type: blog, linkpost, note, talk, or xecast
  • Title: The title of your post (for linkposts, can auto-fetch from URL)
  • Description: A brief description/summary (for linkposts, can auto-fetch from URL)
  • Link URL: (required for linkposts) The URL this post should redirect to
  • Publication date: (optional, for linkposts can auto-extract from the page, defaults to today if not found)
  • Custom slug: (optional, for linkposts will auto-extract from URL basename if not provided)

What it does

  1. For linkposts: Extracts slug from URL basename if no custom slug provided (e.g., https://example.com/blog/my-post becomes "my-post")
  2. For other post types: Generates a URL-friendly slug from your title (or uses your custom slug)
  3. For linkposts: Can auto-fetch title, description, and publication date from the provided URL
  4. Validates that linkposts have a URL provided (prompts if missing)
  5. Runs go run ./cmd/hydrate <kind> <slug> with the appropriate parameters
  6. For linkposts: Updates the redirect_to field in the frontmatter with the provided URL
  7. For linkposts: Adds fetched summary to the post body if available
  8. Opens the created file in VS Code for editing
  9. Shows you the file location for reference

File structure

Blog posts are created in:

  • lume/src/blog/<year>/<slug>.mdx for blog and linkpost
  • lume/src/notes/<year>/<slug>.mdx for notes
  • lume/src/talks/<year>/<slug>.mdx for talks
  • lume/src/xecast/<year>/<slug>.mdx for xecast

Frontmatter templates

Each post type has its own frontmatter template:

Blog posts include hero image configuration:

yaml
---
title: ""
desc: ""
date: YYYY-MM-DD
hero:
  ai: ""
  file: ""
  prompt: ""
  social: false
---

Link posts include a redirect URL:

yaml
---
title: ""
date: YYYY-MM-DD
redirect_to: "https://example.com"
---

Other types (notes, talks, xecast) have simpler frontmatter:

yaml
---
title: ""
desc: ""
date: YYYY-MM-DD
---

Linkpost Special Features

Linkposts have enhanced functionality:

  1. Automatic slug extraction: If no custom slug is provided, the skill will extract the basename from the URL (e.g., https://example.com/blog/my-post becomes my-post)

  2. Auto-fetching content: The skill can automatically fetch the webpage to extract:

    • The page title (used as the post title)
    • A summary/description (added to the post body)
    • The publication date (used as the post date, defaults to today if not found)
    • This saves time and ensures accurate representation of the linked content

Use the extract-meta.js file in this folder to extract meta-information from webpages:

bash
node extract-meta.js <url>
  1. URL handling: The skill handles redirects and will follow them to get the final content for title/description extraction

Example Linkpost Workflow

When creating a linkpost with a URL like https://anubis.techaro.lol/blog/2025/file-abuse-reports:

  1. Skill detects it's a linkpost with a URL
  2. Extracts slug "file-abuse-reports" from URL basename
  3. Fetches the webpage to get:
    • The actual title: "Taking steps to end traffic from abusive cloud providers"
    • A summary of the content for the post body
    • The publication date from the page (e.g., "2025-01-15")
  4. Creates the post with auto-generated slug, fetched title, and extracted date
  5. Adds the summary to the post body for context
  6. Updates the redirect_to field with the provided URL

Date Extraction Details

The skill will look for publication dates in various formats:

  • Meta tags: <meta property="article:published_time" content="2025-01-15">
  • JSON-LD structured data: "datePublished": "2025-01-15"
  • HTML5 semantic elements: <time datetime="2025-01-15">
  • Common date patterns in the page content
  • URL patterns: Extracts date from URL structure like /blog/2025/my-post

If no date is found, it defaults to today's date.
