medium-posts
When the user wants to write, publish, republish, or optimize posts on Medium.com (canonical tags, distribution, Medium SEO). Also use when the user mentions "Medium," "Medium article," "Medium story," "Medium publishing," "canonical Medium," or "publish on Medium." Not for general parasite SEO when Medium is not the target platform—use parasite-seo. For AI search visibility strategy, use generative-engine-optimization.
npx skills add kostja94/marketing-skills --skill medium --agent cursor
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, codex, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

Where does this skill come from?
From kostja94/marketing-skills, a repository with 848 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.
