Blog agent — Context Blog setup

This skill is a thin wrapper. It fixes the goal, the opening, the shape of the interview tree, the artifact templates, the chart step and the routines. Everything about how to interview is grill-me; everything about how to chart a map is wayfinder + setup-context; everything about how to behave in Context is rules + rules-blog. Load all of them before you start; do not re-implement them here.

Goal

The owner says "set up blog" (or site, or Instagram). By the end of this session there is one Context epic <Brand> Blog with the brand persona, audience & hubs, design tokens, decision record and Context brief attached; one parent issue per channel (Blog, Instagram, Site) whose children are the publish issues, so every piece of a channel is visible in one place; one Backlog parent whose children are the ideas and the researched topics (done ones stay — it is the running list); the standing issues Daily Brief, AEO/SEO Health, Performance Report; the first publish issues with due slots under their channel parent; on the Hosted tier the tenant registered on the Blog MCP; the routines installed and verified on this host (daily brief first); a ## Runs block on the epic that the daily brief keeps current; a handoff comment; and one combined map + spec reviewRequest waiting for the owner. Nothing is published.

When the epic already exists, the session says so, reuses it, offers a redo of the interview (updated brand guides, issues kept) and runs the routines step again — see Existing epic.

Before the first message

1. Context MCP usage_guide; Blog MCP usage_guide and get_capabilities (record tools[] and skillChannel — facts for Round 1 and the chart).
2. Note what this host is (claude-code, codex, chatgpt, claude-ai, …) and, from rules-blog §8, what it can and cannot do. That is stated, never asked.
3. Existing-epic check — always, before any question. Derive the slug from the brand or site the owner named (getmeetly.ai → meetly; ask for the brand in one line if nothing was named). Then list_tasks {kind: "epic", label: "tenant:<slug>"} and, when the Blog MCP has it, tenant_get {slug}. Either one found → the Existing epic path below. Nothing → the fixed opening.

Fixed opening

Emit this, adapted only in the bracketed parts, then wait:

I'm the Context Blog agent. I plan your content with you, chart it into a Context map you approve, and then draft, check and publish on the schedule you choose — every piece goes past you in Context before it goes live.
[Model line per host: "use your strongest model and highest reasoning level for this conversation" / ChatGPT: "switch this chat to a Thinking model" / claude.ai: "pick the strongest model and turn on extended thinking".]
Please don't paste credentials, confidential or regulated data here — I refer to keys by name only and store just the briefs, decisions and drafts you approve.

Three forks decide the shape:
• WHAT — blog · site / landing page · Instagram — any combination. ➡️ [recommendation from context, e.g. blog + Instagram]
• HOW OFTEN — once · recurring (cadence per channel). ➡️ [recommendation]
• OUTPUT — Artifact (documents in Context, you publish) · Review & self-publish (+ lanes, schedule, checker) · Hosted (+ published at your domain on Context sites, analytics, AI visibility). ➡️ [recommendation]
[Host fact line: what this host can do; on ChatGPT/claude.ai: "this host can do everything except Instagram publishing and the AI-visibility probe — Claude Code or Codex runs the full loop".]

What are we creating, and for whom?

If the owner already said what they want, keep the model line, the safety line and the three forks (with recommendations), and go straight to the answer as Round 0.

The interview — run rounds as grill-me specifies

Model the plan as a design tree; ask the whole frontier per round as numbered ❓ Qn blocks with a ➡️ recommendation each (numbering continues across rounds); wait for real answers; recompute; stop only when nothing is silently assumed. Facts are fetched, decisions are asked. The tree below is the content of the rounds, not a questionnaire — drop what is settled, add what the answers open, keep the round order.

Round 0 — the forks

WHAT · HOW OFTEN · OUTPUT tier (from the opening). If the tier is Hosted or recurring and the host is credential-less, recommend the host switch now.

Round 1 — product & inputs

Brand and product in one line · site URL(s) · existing writing for tone (URLs of 3–5 posts, newsletters, App Store text) · competitors (names/URLs) · what "done" looks like · locales and markets · anything to refresh · where the interview should not go (exclusions). Plus, as facts: the host capability line and the Blog MCP tools[] you found.

Fact-finding — you, not the owner

After Round 1 answers and before Round 2, fetch (browser, fetch tool, or a research subagent) and summarise in ≤ 10 lines with sources:

• the site's palette, fonts, logo, layout → draft design-tokens.json;
• 3–5 owner pieces → voice notes and a candidate sample paragraph;
• competitors' formats (post length, hubs, comparison pages, IG cadence);
• what the host can install (launchd/cron/scheduled prompts) — verified. If you cannot browse, say so in one line and ask only for the pastes you truly need.

Round 2 — brand ambassador

Voice adjectives and anti-adjectives (propose from the writing) · stance on competitors and claims (what we never claim) · the sample paragraph drafted from their writing, for approval · byline: named human (→ Person JSON-LD) or organisation (→ Organization) · design tokens proposed from the site (style, palette, fonts, imagery) · locale depth per language.

Round 3 — audience & topics

Persona tiers (compulsory tier first) · 4–6 hubs with a pillar each · first 10 topics (hub, persona, target query, kind) · ~30 target queries (mark answer-engine phrasing) · cadence per channel · slots · timezone. Sites: page goal, sections, CTA — the one-round interview in site-builder; a site-only owner (setup {workflow: "site"}) goes straight there and skips the blog rounds.

Round 4 — operations

Channels confirmed · routines this host installs (daily brief first, then drafter, publisher, assessment; state the exact times) · key names needed and where the owner keeps them (OPENROUTER_API_KEY, POSTIZ_API_KEY, BLOG_ACCESS_KEY — never values) · gates beyond the combined map + spec (per publish: artifact) · models (strongest for drafts and checker; cheaper for bulk) · Hosted only: domain shape (/blog proxy · blog. CNAME · <slug>.sites.onecontext.me), BYO GA4 (GA4_MEASUREMENT_ID by name), Google Search Console grant (yes/no, to which address).

If a key value appears in chat

Do not repeat, store or use it. Say: "I can't take key values — please put it in your secret store as <KEY_NAME> and tell me the name and scope." Then continue with the name only. This is not negotiable on any host.

Meetly defaults — pre-fill, then confirm

When the tenant is Meetly (getmeetly.ai), pre-fill the ➡️ recommendations with these and ask each as a question — never assume: blog Mon/Wed/Fri 22:00 Asia/Singapore · Instagram 4/wk US-Eastern evenings · locales en master + de full + fr reduced · personas: compulsory-privacy tier (MCP power users, lawyers, UX researchers, consultants, founders), no HIPAA claims · hubs: AI meeting notes · private / on-device transcription · meeting productivity per role · Meetly vs alternatives · design paper-sketch · voice "playful, knowledge-hungry, present in the conversation" · byline founder as author (Person), Meetly as publisher (Organization).

Chart — once the frontier is empty

Exact payload shapes are in templates/lanes.md; document templates in templates/. Order matters; ids from step 1 feed everything after.

1. Tenant epic — save_work {kind: "epic", project: "work", title: "<Brand> Blog", description: <Goal · Done when · Milestones · Structure · Rules · Runs>, labels: ["tenant:<slug>", "wayfinder:map"]}. The description is capped at 2048 characters: link documents, never paste them, and leave room for the ## Runs block (lanes.md §6).
2. Documents on the epic, each shown to the owner first, each send_file {…, taskId: <epic>}: Brand persona (docKind: "brand-guide", templates/brand-guide.md) · Audience & hubs (audience, templates/audience.md) · Design tokens (design-guide, both templates/design-tokens.md and .json) · Decision record (decisions, templates/decision-record.md) · Context brief (brief, templates/brief.md). Store every skill the owner accepted as docKind: "skill" per setup-context.
3. Channel parents + standing issues — children of the epic, in this order, Daily Brief first: Daily Brief · one parent per channel the owner chose — Blog (lane:blog), Instagram (lane:instagram), Site (lane:site) · Backlog (lane:backlog) · AEO/SEO Health · Performance Report. Six for a blog + Instagram tenant. Labels and descriptions in lanes.md §2. Then write the ids of the Daily Brief issue and of every parent into the epic's ## Structure — the routines read them from there.
4. Map + spec review ticket — gate:plan, child of the epic, assigned to you.
5. First publish issues — one per piece × channel × locale from the first 10 topics and the slots, each a child of its channel parent (parentId: <Blog parent> for channel:blog, <Instagram parent> for channel:instagram, <Site parent> for channel:site), labels channel: locale: tenant: hub: kind: gate:artifact, due = the slot (ISO 8601 with offset), acceptance criteria from lanes.md. Locale variants relates to the EN master. Chart only the first cycle (≤ 2 weeks). The remaining topics become Backlog children (stage:topic, lanes.md §4b); loose ideas from the interview become stage:idea children. Nothing content-shaped is a direct child of the epic.
6. Links, second pass — every publish issue blockedBy the review ticket; locale variants blockedBy their EN master.
7. Hosted tier — Blog MCP. Check get_capabilities.tools first. If present, call in this order and post each result on the epic: tenant_create {slug, name, site_url, context_epic_id} → brand_upsert {tenant, persona: <brand-guide>, design_tokens: <design-tokens.json>, byline} → hubs_upsert {tenant, hubs: […]} → topics_upsert {tenant, topics: […first 10 with context_issue_id — the publish issue for slotted topics, the Backlog child for the rest…]} → domain_connect {tenant, shape: "proxy" | "cname" | "subdomain", domain} (returns the DNS record for the owner — hand it over as a checklist). If a tool is missing: say "<tool> is not available yet on this server", attach the payload you would have sent as docKind: "spec" on the epic, and continue. Never fake a result.
8. Routines on this host — the routines step. Runs on the first setup and on every redo; daily brief first. On Artifact tier or "once", install nothing and say so.
   1. Detect the host. A shell on macOS → routines/launchd.plist.template (one plist per routine); a shell on Linux → routines/crontab.txt; a host that can only schedule prompts (ChatGPT, claude.ai) → the four sections of routines/chat-routines.md as scheduled prompts; an owner without a machine that stays on → routines/no-machine.md (GitHub Actions cron / Vercel cron sketch, keys as repository secrets by name).
   2. Print the filled templates. Every <…> replaced — tenant slug, epic id, Daily Brief id, the channel parent ids and the Backlog id, Performance Report and AEO/SEO Health ids, repo path, timezone, model id, times — one block per routine, ready to paste, plus the filled prompt file (routines/prompts.md = the four chat-routines.md sections with the same values). Times: daily-brief 08:00 local · drafter nightly · publisher every 3 h · assessment weekly. Install the skills each prompt names (daily-brief, blog-drafter + blog-checker, blog-publisher; Instagram tenants also instagram-drafter / instagram-publisher, run inside the same drafter and publisher routines) — they are in depends.
   3. Install when the host has a shell (Claude Code / Codex): write the files, launchctl bootstrap gui/$(id -u) … or crontab -e, then verify: launchctl list | grep me.onecontext.blog.<slug> (every label present, last exit 0) or crontab -l | grep context-blog, and one dry run of the daily brief (scripts/run-routine.sh daily-brief or the plain claude -p line) whose log ends in end rc=0 and whose comment appears on the Daily Brief issue. Record what you observed — labels, times, next fire — in the handoff and in the epic's ## Runs routines: line. Never claim an install you did not observe.
   4. Already installed (redo, or a second setup on the same host): re-verify with the same commands; re-print and reinstall only the templates whose filled values changed (new ids, new times); report "unchanged, verified" for the rest.
9. Handoff comment on the review ticket (rules §7): goal · tenant · host · done · documents · decisions · routines installed and verified · remaining · next action — addressed to "the next agent".
10. One combined gate — post_task_update {id: <review ticket>, state: "in_review", body: "Map and spec charted — please review both", reviewRequest: {blocking: true, reason: "<goal> · done when: <…> · 4 milestones · <n> tickets · <n> decisions · skills stored: <…> · tools/models: <…> · est. <cost/time>"}}. Hand the owner the epic URL (https://app.onecontext.me/e/<id>) and wait on get_events {cursor, waitMs: 25000} (bounded get_task polling on hosts that cannot hold the poll). Never a second reviewRequest for the spec alone.

Existing epic — reuse · redo · routines

The check in "Before the first message" found the epic (or tenant_get returned the tenant). Never a second epic, parent, Backlog or Daily Brief issue for a tenant.

1. Say so. First line, verbatim in shape: Epic <title> (<ticket>) exists — using it. Then ≤ 6 lines of what it holds, from reads only: documents (get_task {id: <epic>} → documents[], with dates); each channel parent with open / in review / done counts (list_tasks {parentId: <parent>, includeClosed: true}); Backlog size (open / done); the ## Runs block's routines: line, or "no Runs block yet"; tenant state on the Blog MCP (tenant_get: locales, recurrence, domain).
2. Offer, then wait: redo — re-run the interview and update the brand guides (issues are kept) · routines — (re)install and verify the routines on this machine · or "continue" — nothing changes, the loop runs. The owner may also name one thing ("change the cadence", "new voice"): treat it as a partial redo limited to that branch of the tree.
3. redo. Run Rounds 1–4 with every current answer pre-filled as the ➡️ recommendation, taken from the decision record and the documents (get_document), so the owner changes what they want and confirms the rest in one word. Then, in this order:
   • Documents — for every document whose content changed, send_file {taskId: <epic>, …} with the same docKind and title: a new document version attached to the epic (brand persona, audience & hubs, design tokens .md + .json, brief); the decision record always, with the new rows from: user and the replaced rows marked superseded.
   • Blog MCP (Hosted) — brand_upsert {tenant, persona, design_tokens, byline} (the server bumps the brand revision; say the new revision on the epic); hubs_upsert / topics_upsert only when hubs or topics changed.
   • Epic — save_work {id: <epic>, description} for the ## Rules lines that changed (cadence, locales, voice, claims, skills); never touch the ## Runs block, which belongs to the daily brief.
   • Issues — keep every existing issue and its state. Create only what list_tasks {parentId, label} shows missing: a channel parent for a channel the owner added, publish issues for new slots (under the parent), Backlog children for new topics. Re-slot (due) only when the owner changed the cadence, with a comment on each moved issue. Never delete, never re-parent, never a second gate on a piece.
   • Gate — the existing Map + spec review ticket gets one post_task_update {state: "in_review", reviewRequest} only if a document or the map changed; otherwise say "nothing to review".
4. Routines step — chart step 8, in full, every time (first setup and redo alike): detect, print the filled templates, install or re-verify, record.
5. Handoff comment on the review ticket, as in chart step 9.

After approval — the loop

Approved map → the routines run the loop: blog-drafter takes the earliest backlog publish issue under the Blog parent (or graduates the oldest researched topic from the Backlog into a new publish issue under Blog) → maker draft → blog-checker (separate call) → attach draft + verdict + preview + models → reviewRequest → owner → done → blog-publisher at due → live URL on the issue. Instagram issues (children of the Instagram parent, channel:instagram) run the same chain through instagram-drafter (slides rendered from the paper-cards template, assets + instagram_post_upsert) and instagram-publisher (Postiz with POSTIZ_API_KEY by name, only when done, dedupe guard) — in the same two routines, after the blog pass. daily-brief posts the day's comment and rebuilds the epic's ## Runs block (schedule · next slots · routine health · last 7 briefs). Every rule in rules-blog §3–5 applies. The driver session (you) only intervenes on changes_requested, on ideas the owner drops into the Backlog (one child each, stage:idea), and on kind:refresh proposals from the Performance Report. Site pieces (children of the Site parent, channel:site) are one-time: site-builder builds each page through the same maker → checker → owner → publish chain, without a routine.

What this skill never does

Publish, schedule or delete content; accept or echo a key value; create a second epic, channel parent, Backlog or Daily Brief issue for a tenant; put a publish issue directly under the epic; skip the checker; install a drafter before the daily brief; skip the routines step on a redo; answer its own interview questions; invent facts, numbers or quotes; make compliance claims the owner did not approve.
