## What it does

claude-blog is a skill suite for Claude covering the whole article lifecycle. The orchestrator in `skills/blog/SKILL.md` parses `/blog` input, detects the target platform, loads only the references it needs and hands the job to one of 31 sub-skills. That makes 32 skill directories and 30 user-facing `/blog` commands; `blog-chart` stays internal and is not a command.

Every draft lands in an artifact folder: markdown source, rendered HTML, PDF, a real `hero.<ext>`, three viewport screenshots, `review.md` and `preflight-report.json`. Before delivery a 5-gate Blog Delivery Contract scores the draft on a 100-point rubric, blocks anything under 90, verifies artifacts and links, and iterates up to 3 times before escalation. The renderer handles JSON-LD with XSS-safe escaping and ships dark-mode-aware CSS.

You need Python 3.11 or newer. The repo also carries 22 core references, 12 templates, a pytest suite and the bundled Claude Blog Brain at `./brain`. The source text cuts off inside the spec section, so I would not guess at the rest of the architecture. No Python 3.11 on your machine means nowhere to run it — check that before installing.

**claude-blog is a Claude Code skill suite that writes, optimizes, audits, localizes, and refreshes blog content at scale.** Every article is evaluated for Google-aligned usefulness and internal AI citation readiness heuristics. Version 2.3.1 was prepared on 2026-10-13.

The core promise is simple: the user is never the first reviewer. A 5-gate Blog Delivery Contract scores every draft against a 100-point rubric, blocks delivery below 90, verifies artifacts and links, and iterates up to 3 times before escalation.

## What It Is

claude-blog is a full-lifecycle blog engine for strategy, briefs, outlines, writing, rewriting, analysis, schema, AI citation readiness, site audits, topic clusters, multilingual publishing, audio narration, and content decay detection.

Current v2.3.1 shape: **32 skill directories = 1 orchestrator + 31 sub-skills; 30 user-facing /blog commands (`blog-chart` is internal, not a command).** It also includes 5 specialized agents, repository consistency and public-release validators, 22 core references, 12 templates, a pytest suite (run `python3 -m pytest --collect-only -q | tail -1` for the current count), and the bundled Claude Blog Brain at `./brain`.

Every draft ships as an artifact folder with the markdown source, rendered HTML, PDF, real `hero.<ext>`, 3 viewport screenshots, `review.md`, and `preflight-report.json`. The renderer uses XSS-safe JSON-LD handling, dark-mode-aware CSS, and the same source for every output format.
