Articles Repo Maintenance

Articles Repo Maintenance

Core Rules

• Work from the articles repository root.
• Keep article folders directly under the repo root: YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md.
• Do not create or use a nested articles/ content directory.
• Create bilingual pairs by default:
  • Chinese: YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md
  • English: YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD-slug-en.md
• Preserve meaningful source media locally under YYYY-MM-DD/imgs/<slug>/.
• Embed local relative image links in both language versions.
• Update README.md as the chronological index and MOC.md as the topic map.
• Commit and push by default after article work unless the user explicitly says not to.
• Return verified GitHub links for Chinese and English articles after pushing.

Workflow

1. Inspect current state:
   • Run git status --short --branch.
   • Check README.md, MOC.md, and recent date folders for the source URL, project name, slug, or topic keywords.
   • If related coverage already exists, write a distinct follow-up angle instead of duplicating the same article.
2. Resolve source and date:
   • Prefer the source publish date for the folder and filenames.
   • Record canonical source URLs in the article metadata/body when useful.
   • For social posts that point elsewhere, resolve the canonical external page and ground claims there.
3. Preserve media:
   • Download meaningful screenshots, diagrams, benchmark charts, tweet images, page figures, GIFs, or thumbnails.
   • Verify file types with file when URLs are extensionless or proxied.
   • Use stable names and embed only local paths.
4. Draft both articles:
   • Write analytical, operational articles rather than plain summaries.
   • Include concrete evidence, caveats, and source-specific context.
   • Use references/writing-polish.md for the final structure and humanizing pass.
5. Update indexes:
   • Add matching rows in README.md.
   • Add matching wikilinks in MOC.md without .md.
6. Verify before staging:
   • Check every image link exists.
   • Check each article has its bilingual pair.
   • Check README.md links point to real .md files.
   • Check MOC.md paths point to real article bases.
   • Run git diff --check.
7. Commit and push:
   • Stage only the current article files, relevant assets, README.md, and MOC.md.
   • Do not sweep unrelated dirty files into the commit.
   • If pushing requires a rebase, use a scoped stash for only the current article files.
   • Push to the active branch, normally main.
8. Verify public links:
   • Check GitHub blob/raw URLs are reachable before sending them to the user.
   • Mention any unrelated remaining dirty state if intentionally excluded.

WeChat Shortcut

For mp.weixin.qq.com sources:

1. Run Baoyu URL-to-Markdown for text/title/date.
2. Use a browser-rendered page and scroll through the full article to trigger lazy images.
3. Extract document.images; prefer data-src over transparent SVG src placeholders.
4. Keep meaningful mmbiz.qpic.cn article assets and filter WeChat chrome such as QR codes, avatars, and follow widgets.
5. Download assets with a WeChat referer and preserve GIFs when present.
6. Verify all local media links before committing.

Writing Polish

Use references/writing-polish.md before finalizing:

• Repair structure before sentence-level polish.
• Remove filler, formulaic AI phrasing, unsupported hype, and vague transitions.
• Preserve facts, caveats, source dates, and technical claims.
• Keep articles analytical and useful: explain why the source matters, what workflow changes, and what teams should verify.

Completion Reply

After a successful article task, reply concisely with:

• Chinese GitHub link.
• English GitHub link.
• Commit hash and message.
• Note that README.md, MOC.md, and local assets were updated when applicable.
• Note that public links were verified.
