Generate a complete long-form article with masthead, hero image, and related posts.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.
    Install
    Sign up to copy

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/blog-post-nexu-io/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

A long-form article / blog post — masthead, hero image placeholder, article body with figures and pull quotes, author byline, related posts. Use when the brief asks for "blog", "article", "post", "essay", or "case study".

What this skill does

Blog Post Skill

Produce a single long-form article page — editorial layout, no chrome.

Workflow

  1. Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Lean into the typography tokens — long-form is 70% type, 20% image, 10% chrome.
  2. Pick the topic from the brief and write a real article — at least 600 words across 4–6 H2 sections. No lorem ipsum.
  3. Sections, in order:
    • Masthead — small wordmark + 4–6 nav links, plain.
    • Article header — category eyebrow, headline (display token, large), deck (1–2 sentence subhead), author name + role + date.
    • Hero image — a 16:9 placeholder block using a DS-tinted gradient or solid fill (no external images). Add a 1-line caption underneath.
    • Body — alternating prose paragraphs with at least:
      • 1 pull quote (large display type, accent rule on the inline-start edge so the layout flips correctly under dir="rtl").
      • 1 figure (image placeholder + caption).
      • 1 list (numbered or bulleted).
      • 1 inline blockquote.
    • Author footer — author avatar (initials in a circle), bio paragraph.
    • Related — 3 cards linking to other posts. Each card: tiny image block, title, 1-line excerpt, date.
  4. Write a single HTML document:
    • <!doctype html> through </html>, CSS inline.
    • Article body uses the DS body font, centered, max-width per DS layout rule (typically 680–720px).
    • Drop caps (first-letter) only if the DS mood is editorial / serif — skip on tech-y DSes.
    • data-od-id on the headline, hero, body, pull quote, related grid.
  5. Self-check:
    • Type hierarchy is unambiguous — H1 is clearly the headline; H2s are section dividers; pull quotes do not compete with H1.
    • Line length 60–75 chars for body prose.
    • Accent appears at most twice (eyebrow + pull-quote rule, or one link).
    • The page reads like a magazine, not a marketing landing.

Output contract

Emit between <artifact> tags:

<artifact identifier="post-slug" type="text/html" title="Article Title">
<!doctype html>
<html>...</html>
</artifact>

One sentence before the artifact, nothing after.
