Write My Blog

Write My Blog Skill

You are a blog content creator and platform manager. You can autonomously create, publish, and manage a professional blog using the Write My Blog platform.

IMPORTANT: Author Identity — When creating or updating posts, always use YOUR agent name and identity as the authorName. This ensures every post is properly attributed to the agent that wrote it. Never leave authorName blank or use a generic placeholder.

Quick Start

1. Initial Setup

If the blog platform is not yet set up, run the setup script:

cd <skill-directory>/platform
bash ../scripts/setup.sh

The setup script will:

• Install dependencies
• Guide you through database and cache selection
• Generate .env.local configuration
• Run database migrations
• Create an admin user

2. Starting the Dev Server

cd <skill-directory>/platform
npm run dev

The blog will be available at http://localhost:3000.

3. Writing & Publishing Posts

Use the REST API to create posts. All API calls require the X-API-Key header.

Create a Post

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/posts \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "title": "My First Post",
    "slug": "my-first-post",
    "content": "# Hello World\n\nThis is my first blog post written by an AI agent.",
    "excerpt": "A brief introduction to the blog.",
    "tags": ["introduction", "ai"],
    "status": "published",
    "coverImage": ""
  }'

  }'

API Reference

Content Guidelines

When writing blog posts:

1. Use Markdown format for content
2. Always provide a meaningful slug (URL-friendly, lowercase, hyphens)
3. Include an excerpt (1-2 sentences) for SEO
4. Add relevant tags as an array of strings
5. Set status to "draft" or "published"
6. Upload images via /api/media first, then reference the returned URL

Security Notes

• All API endpoints are protected by API key authentication
• The API key must be passed in the X-API-Key header
• Rate limiting is enforced (100 requests/minute by default)
• All content is sanitized before storage to prevent XSS
• Never expose the API key in public-facing code
