*Produces a complete, publish-ready blog post with SEO metadata, structured sections, readability optimization, and internal linking suggestions.*

Activation

When this skill activates, output:

`✍️ Blog Post, Gathering topic and audience details...`

Then execute the protocol below.

| Context | Status | |---------|--------| | User says "write blog post" or "blog post about" | ACTIVE | | User says "write article" or "create blog" or "write post" | ACTIVE | | Creating long-form content for a website or publication | ACTIVE | | Writing landing page copy (short-form, conversion-focused) | DORMANT: use landing-page-copy | | Writing email content | DORMANT: use email-sequence | | Writing social media posts | DORMANT |

Anti-patterns

| Trap | Reality Check | |------|---------------| | "Write about everything related to the topic" | Focus on one angle. Broad posts rank for nothing. Narrow posts rank for one keyword. | | "The intro should provide context" | The intro should hook. Context bores. Open with a bold claim, stat, or question. | | "Longer is better for SEO" | Comprehensive beats long. 1,500 focused words outrank 3,000 padded words. | | "Stuff the keyword everywhere" | Use the keyword naturally 3-5 times. Search engines penalize stuffing. Readers hate it. | | "Anyone who finds it will read it" | You have 3 seconds. If the title and intro don't hook them, the rest doesn't matter. |

Protocol

Step 1: Gather Topic Details

If the user hasn't provided details, ask:

> I need a few details for the blog post: > 1. **Topic**: what's this post about? > 2. **Target audience**: who are you writing for? (developers, business owners, beginners, etc.) > 3. **Target keyword**: what search term should this rank for? > 4. **Tone**: casual/conversational, professional, technical, inspirational? > 5. **Desired length**: short (800 words), standard (1,200-1,500), long-form (2,000+)?

If the user provides partial info, infer what you can and ask only for what's missing.

Step 2: Research and Outline

Before writing, build a structured outline:

1. **Identify 3-5 key points** the post must cover 2. **Find supporting data**: statistics, examples, or case studies that strengthen each point 3. **Note counterarguments**: addressing objections builds credibility 4. **Determine the unique angle**: what perspective makes this post different from the top 10 results?

**Outline template:**

## Outline

**Angle:** [What makes this post different]
**Target keyword:** [primary keyword]
**Secondary keywords:** [2-3 related terms]

1. Hook intro, [opening strategy: bold claim / stat / question / story]
2. [Section H2]: [key point + supporting evidence]
3. [Section H2]: [key point + supporting evidence]
4. [Section H2]: [key point + supporting evidence]
5. [Section H2]: [key point + counterargument addressed]
6. Actionable takeaways, [summary of what to do next]
7. CTA conclusion, [what you want the reader to do]

Present the outline for user approval before writing the full post.

Step 3: Write SEO Metadata

**Title:** [60 characters max: include target keyword, power word, specific benefit]
**Meta description:** [155 characters max: summarize the value, include keyword, end with implicit CTA]
**URL slug:** [target-keyword-in-slug: lowercase, hyphens, no filler words]

**Title formula options:**

• Number + Adjective + Keyword + Promise: "7 Proven Ways to [Keyword] Without [Pain Point]"
• How to + Keyword + Benefit: "How to [Keyword]: A Step-by-Step Guide for [Audience]"
• Question format: "Why Does [Keyword] Matter? [Provocative Answer]"
• Contrarian: "[Common Belief] Is Wrong. Here's What [Keyword] Actually Means"

**Title rules:**

• Include target keyword within the first 40 characters
• Use a power word (proven, essential, complete, ultimate, simple)
• Promise a specific outcome (not vague "improve")
• Max 60 characters to avoid Google truncation

**Meta description rules:**

• Include target keyword naturally
• Summarize the unique value of this post
• Create curiosity or promise a benefit
• Max 155 characters to avoid truncation

Step 4: Write the Post

Intro (100-150 words)

The intro must accomplish three things in three paragraphs (or fewer):

1. **Hook**: bold claim, surprising stat, relatable pain point, or provocative question 2. **Relevance**: why this matters to the reader right now 3. **Promise**: what they'll know or be able to do after reading

[Hook sentence, bold claim or surprising stat]

[1-2 sentences connecting to reader's situation]

[Promise: "In this post, you'll learn..." or "Here's exactly how to..."]

**Do NOT:**

• Start with "In today's fast-paced world..." or any throat-clearing
• Define the obvious ("What is marketing?")
• Summarize the entire post upfront (that's what the outline is for)

Body Sections (3-5 H2 sections)

Each section follows this structure:

## [H2: Keyword-rich, benefit-oriented heading]

[Opening sentence that states the section's key point]

[Supporting evidence: stat, example, case study, or expert quote]

[Practical explanation, how this applies to the reader]

[Specific example or actionable step]

> [Optional: pull quote or callout box with key insight]

[Transition sentence leading to the next section]

**Body writing rules:**

• Paragraphs: max 3-4 sentences each (walls of text kill readability)
• Sentences: vary length, mix short punchy sentences with longer explanatory ones
• Use H
