Blog Post Skill
Produce a single long-form article page — editorial layout, no chrome.
Workflow
- Read the active DESIGN.md (injected above). Lean into the typography
tokens — long-form is 70% type, 20% image, 10% chrome.
- Pick the topic from the brief and write a real article — at least 600
words across 4–6 H2 sections. No lorem ipsum.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
