What is the 'narrative arc' requirement?

To ensure quality, the skill requires a clear story progression: identifying a problem, explaining the approach taken, and detailing the eventual outcome.

Can I use this for internal changelogs?

No, this skill is optimized for storytelling. For standard project updates or lists of changes, use the /ctx-blog-changelog command instead.

How does ctx-blog find content to write about?

The skill analyzes recent git logs, decision records in DECISIONS.md, insights in LEARNINGS.md, and recent task activity via the ctx system to find meaningful stories.

Why does it enforce 80-character line widths?

Strict line wrapping ensures that markdown files remain readable in terminal-based editors and maintain a consistent look across different version control platforms.

Where does the skill save the generated posts?

It automatically saves drafts to the docs/blog/ directory using a YYYY-MM-DD-slug format and updates the blog's index.md file.

Gestión de Contenido

Generates narrative-driven blog post drafts by analyzing git history, architectural decisions, and project learnings.

This skill automates the transition from development work to public-facing content by synthesizing project activity into structured blog drafts. It leverages the ctx system to gather context from git logs, decision records, and documented learnings, ensuring every post follows a compelling narrative arc rather than just listing changes. Designed for technical writers and developers, it enforces strict formatting standards—including 80-character line wrapping and YAML frontmatter—while automating the maintenance of blog indices and project directories.
