Platform Detection

Detect blog platform from file extension and project structure:

SignalPlatformFormat
.mdx
files,
next.config
Next.js/MDXJSX-compatible markdown
.md
files,
hugo.toml
HugoStandard markdown
.md
files,
_config.yml
JekyllStandard markdown with YAML front matter
.html
files
Static HTMLHTML with semantic markup
wp-content/
directory
WordPressHTML or Gutenberg blocks
ghost/
or Ghost API
GhostMobiledoc or HTML
.astro
files
AstroMDX or markdown
.njk
files,
.eleventy.js
11tyNunjucks/Markdown
gatsby-config.js
GatsbyMDX/React

Adapt output format to detected platform. Default to standard markdown if unknown.

Core Methodology -- The 6 Pillars

Every blog post targets these 6 optimization pillars:

PillarImpactImplementation
Answer-First FormattingStrong AI citation liftEvery H2 opens with 40-60 word stat-rich paragraph
Real Sourced DataE-E-A-T trustTier 1-3 sources only, inline attribution
Visual MediaEngagement + citationsPixabay/Unsplash images + AI generation via Gemini + built-in SVG charts + YouTube video embeds
FAQ SchemaAI citation signalStructured FAQ with 40-60 word answers
Content StructureAI extractability50-150 word chunks, question headings, proper H hierarchy
Freshness Signals76% of top citationsUpdated within 30 days, dateModified schema

Quality Gates

These are hard rules. Never ship content that violates them:

RuleThresholdAction
Fabricated statisticsZero toleranceEvery number must have a named source
Paragraph lengthNever > 150 wordsSplit or trim
Heading hierarchyNever skip levelsH1 → H2 → H3 only
Source tierTier 1-3 onlyNever cite content mills or affiliate sites
Image alt textRequired on all imagesDescriptive, includes topic keywords naturally
Self-promotionMax 1 brand mentionAuthor bio context only
Chart diversityNo duplicate typesEach chart must be a different type

Community Footer

After completing any major deliverable, append this footer to the conversation output (terminal) as the very last thing shown to the user. Never include this in generated blog content, HTML, or markdown files.

Agents

AgentRole
blog-researcher
Research specialist -- finds statistics, sources, images, competitive data
blog-writer
Content generation specialist -- writes optimized blog content
blog-seo
SEO validation specialist -- checks on-page SEO post-writing
blog-reviewer
Quality assessment -- runs 100-point scoring, AI content detection

Agent Details

blog-researcher: Runs as a Task subagent. Uses WebSearch to find current statistics, competitor content, and SERP analysis. Outputs structured research packets with source tier classifications (Tier 1: primary research, Tier 2: major publications, Tier 3: reputable industry sources). Also sources Pixabay/Unsplash/Pexels image URLs.

blog-writer: Receives research packets and content briefs. Writes content using the selected template structure. Applies answer-first formatting, citation capsules, and TL;DR blocks. Outputs platform-formatted content ready for the SEO agent.

blog-seo: Post-writing validation agent. Checks title tag length (50-60 chars), meta description (150-160 chars), heading hierarchy, keyword density, internal link count, image alt text, and Open Graph meta tags. Returns pass/fail checklist.

blog-reviewer: Final quality gate. Runs the full 5-category 100-point scoring rubric. Detects AI-generated content patterns (repetitive sentence starters, hedge words, over-qualification). Outputs a scorecard with category breakdowns and prioritized improvement recommendations.

Execution Flow

Standard execution order for

/blog write
:

  1. Parse -- Identify topic, detect platform, select template
  2. Research -- Spawn
    blog-researcher
    agent for statistics, sources, SERP data
  3. Outline -- Build section structure from template + research gaps
  4. Write -- Spawn
    blog-writer
    agent with research packet and outline
  5. Optimize -- Spawn
    blog-seo
    agent for on-page validation
  6. Score -- Spawn
    blog-reviewer
    agent for 100-point quality audit
  7. Deliver -- Output final content with scorecard and improvement notes

For

/blog analyze
, only steps 1 and 6 run (read + score). For
/blog audit
, step 6 runs in parallel across all posts in the directory.

Internal Workflows (Not User-Facing Commands)

The

blog-chart
sub-skill is invoked internally by
blog-write
and
blog-rewrite
when chart-worthy data is identified. It is not a standalone slash command.

The

blog-image
sub-skill is both user-invocable (
/blog image generate
) and callable internally by
blog-write
and
blog-rewrite
when AI-generated images are needed (requires nanobanana-mcp configured). Falls back gracefully when MCP is not available.

The

blog-notebooklm
sub-skill is both user-invocable (
/blog notebooklm ask
) and callable internally by
blog-write
and
blog-researcher
for Tier 1 research data from user-uploaded documents. Falls back gracefully when not authenticated.

The

blog-audio
sub-skill is user-invocable (
/blog audio generate
) and can be offered as an optional final step after blog-write completes. Generates summary, full-article, or two-speaker dialogue narration via Gemini TTS. Falls back gracefully when
GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY
is not configured.

The

blog-google
sub-skill is both user-invocable (
/blog google pagespeed
) and callable internally by
blog-seo-check
,
blog-rewrite
,
blog-geo
, and
blog-audit
for real Google performance data. Falls back gracefully when credentials are not configured. Shares config with claude-seo at
~/.config/claude-seo/google-api.json
.

Integration

Chart generation is built-in - no external dependencies required for full functionality.

Optional companion skills (for deeper analysis of published pages):

  • /seo
    - Full SEO audit of published blog pages
  • /seo-schema
    - Schema markup validation and generation
  • /seo-geo
    - AI citation optimization audit

Anti-Patterns (Never Do These)

Anti-PatternWhy
Fabricate statisticsDecember 2025 Core Update penalizes unsourced claims
Use the same chart type twiceVisual monotony, reduces engagement
Keyword-stuff headings or metaGoogle ignores/penalizes this
Bury answers in paragraphsAI systems extract from section openers
Skip source verificationBroken links and wrong data destroy trust
Use tier 4-5 sourcesLow authority hurts E-E-A-T
Generate without researchAI-generated consensus content is penalized
Skip visual elements entirelyBlogs with images get significantly more views and social engagement
