blog
Full-lifecycle blog engine with 31 sub-skills, 12 templates, 100-point scoring, and 5 agents. Routes requests to the right sub-skill: writing, rewriting, analysis, outlines, audits, schema, charts, images, repurposing, AI citation SEO, FLOW prompts, topic clusters, and multilingual publishing. Optimized for Google rankings, E-E-A-T, and AI citations. Supports any platform. Use when user says "blog", "blog post", "blog audit", "topic cluster", "multilingual blog", or any /blog subcommand.
npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-blog --skill blog --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
What it does
The skill acts as a full-lifecycle blog engine that routes user requests to the correct sub-skill among 31 options, covering activities from writing and rewriting to analysis, outlines, audits, schema generation, and multilingual publishing. It includes 5 agents (e.g., blog-writer, blog-researcher, blog-seo, blog-reviewer, blog-translator) and implements a 100-point quality scoring process to assess content readiness before delivery. It supports various commands for topic creation, optimization, and platform-specific formatting, and aims to optimize for Google rankings, E-E-A-T, and AI citations. It can also handle governance around output formats by detecting the target platform and adapting output accordingly. The orchestration flow specifies a sequential pipeline for /blog write: parse, research, outline, write, optimize, score, and delivery contract enforcement with preflight gates. It references several internal scripts and contracts for gatekeeping and platform adaptation.
How it works
- On a /blog write command, the system parses the topic, detects the platform, and selects a template.
- It spawns the blog-researcher to collect statistics, sources, and SERP data.
- It builds an outline by combining the template with research gaps.
- It spawns the blog-writer with the research packet and outline to generate the article.
- It runs the blog-seo agent to validate on-page SEO post-writing.
- It runs the blog-reviewer for a 100-point quality audit.
- It enforces Delivery Contract gates (v1.9.0) by executing the 5-gate preflight from the blog-delivery-contract, using helper scripts from a trusted absolute install path (e.g., $HOME/.claude/scripts or CLAUDE_BLOG_SCRIPTS_DIR). The command snippet provided shows BLOG_SCRIPT_DIR derived from an absolute path or environment variable.
- Output formatting adapts to detected platform based on signals like file extensions and project structure, with a default to standard markdown when unknown.
When to use it
Use when the user invokes /blog commands such as /blog write, /blog outline, /blog audit, /blog multilingual, /blog cluster, or any other /blog subcommand. It routes to the relevant sub-skill and enforces a structured content production workflow, including quality scoring and delivery gates.
What it can touch
- Tools and agents listed under Agents: blog-researcher, blog-writer, blog-seo, blog-reviewer, blog-translator.
- Execution steps involve spawning these sub-skills in sequence: research, outline, write, optimize, score.
- Output format adaptation uses platform-detection signals (e.g., .mdx with Next.js/MDX, .md with Hugo/Jekyll, HTML, WordPress, etc.).
Caveats
- Requires Claude Code and Python 3.11+ for quality scoring.
- The workflow enforces a delivery contract with a 5-gate preflight; failures may block publication until gates pass.
- Content governance relies on internal references (blog-delivery-contract.md) for gate definitions and script sourcing; paths must be Absolute or environment-variable-resolved as specified (e.g., BLOG_SCRIPT_DIR).
- The skill is categorized under Security, but its function is to generate and optimize blog content with a suite of sub-skills and platform adaptations rather than performing runtime system security tasks.
# Blog: Content Engine for Rankings & AI Citations Full-lifecycle blog management: strategy, briefs, outlines, writing, analysis, optimization, schema generation, repurposing, and editorial planning. Dual-optimized for Google's May 2026 Core Update, March 2026 core quality baseline, March and June 2026 spam enforcement, and AI citation platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add AgriciDaniel/claude-blog --skill blog --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From AgriciDaniel/claude-blog, a repository with 1,566 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
