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.
# Blog Calendar: Editorial Planning Generates editorial calendars with topic clusters, publishing cadence, material-change reviews, content-decay investigation, template recommendations, distribution planning, and seasonal hooks. It does not treat publication or update frequency as a ranking or citation signal. ## Cross-reference This skill operates at the FLOW Find stage. Before selecting topics, run `/blog flow find` for keyword discovery, content prioritization, and audience avatar prompts that should inform cluster selection and topic sequencing. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Understand the Blog Gather context: 1. **Niche/industry**: What is the blog about? 2. **Existing content**: Scan for existing blog posts (Glob for *.md, *.mdx, *.html) 3. **Publishing cadence**: How often can they publish? (default: 2x/week) 4. **Timeframe**: Monthly or quarterly calendar? 5. **Business goals**: What should the blog drive? (traffic, leads, authority) ### Step 2: Topic Cluster Design Design 3-5 topic clusters (pillar + supporting content): ``` Cluster: [Pillar Topic] ├── Pillar Page: [Comprehensive guide - 3,000+ words] ├── Supporting: [Subtopic 1 - 2,000 words] ├── Supporting: [Subtopic 2 - 2,00

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.
