Medium Article Converter

Convert blog posts to Medium-ready format with proper HTML structure and image handling.

**Usage:** `$ARGUMENTS`

**Examples:**

/publisher:medium my-post           # Default English
/publisher:medium my-post ja        # Japanese
/publisher:medium article.md        # From file path
/publisher:medium https://blog.com/post  # From URL

**Process:**

1. **Parse Input & Detect Source**

• File path, URL, or blog post slug
• Optional language parameter (en/ja)

2. **Universal Input Detection**

• **File**: Read markdown, PDF, HTML, or text
• **URL**: WebFetch to retrieve content
• **Slug**: Search codebase for blog post

3. **Convert to Medium Format**

• Parse markdown and extract frontmatter
• Convert to clean HTML suitable for Medium
• Preserve headers, lists, code blocks, quotes
• Add image upload markers for diagrams
• Include image paths for easy upload reference

4. **Create HTML Preview File**

• Generate `medium-article-[LANG].html` preview
• Include one-click copy button
• Add image upload instructions with file paths
• Use Medium-style formatting and colors

5. **Open in Browser**

• Open HTML preview file
• Open Medium editor (https://medium.com/new-story)
• User can copy HTML and paste into Medium
• Follow image markers to upload diagrams

**Output:**

• HTML preview file with copy button
• Clear image upload markers
• File paths shown for each image
• Ready to paste into Medium editor

**Note**: Works universally - no dependencies required, just Read, Write, and Bash tools.
