Showroom:blog Generate

context: main model: claude-sonnet-4-6

Blog Generator

Orchestrates agents to transform completed Red Hat Showroom lab or demo content into blog posts for Red Hat Developer, internal blogs, or marketing platforms.

Architecture

This skill is an orchestrator. Transformation and review are delegated to agents:

• showroom:file-generator (Sonnet) — reads source .adoc files, transforms to blog Markdown
• showroom:module-reviewer (Sonnet) — quality check on generated blog post

See @showroom/docs/SKILL-COMMON-RULES.md for source traceability and attribution rules.

Phase 1 — Planning Form (ALL questions at once)

Let's set up your blog post. Answer what you know:

Source modules (file paths to completed .adoc modules — can be multiple):

Target platform:
  1. Red Hat Developer (developers.redhat.com)
  2. Internal Red Hat (Source, Memo, The Stack)
  3. Medium / dev.to / Hashnode
  4. Marketing / announcement

Blog type:
  1. Technical tutorial ("How to...")
  2. Product announcement ("Introducing...")
  3. Thought leadership ("Why...")
  4. Case study / success story
  5. Quick start guide

Technical depth:
  1. Highly technical (code-heavy, for developers)
  2. Moderately technical (balanced)
  3. Marketing-focused (business benefits, light on code)

Target word count: 500-800 / 1000-1500 / 2000+ (or leave blank for auto)

Showroom link for "Try it yourself" CTA (optional):

Writing style (optional — skip for standard Red Hat technical blog style):
  Describe: "storytelling-first, relatable analogies, humor where appropriate"
  OR paste 1-3 paragraphs from a blog post you wrote
  OR give a URL to a published post you authored
  Saved profile? Point to: ~/.claude/context/my-writing-style.md

Confirm in one line:

📋 Blog plan: [type] for [platform] — [depth] — [word count]
Source: [N modules]

Phase 2 — Spawn File Generator Agent

Task tool:
  subagent_type: showroom:file-generator
  prompt: |
    TARGET_FILE: <output path, e.g. blog-post.md>
    FILE_TYPE: blog
    CONTENT_TYPE: <workshop|demo>
    LAB_TYPE: <ocp|rhel|vm|ai|unknown>
    REPO_PATH: <repo root if known, else none>
    FULL_SPEC:
      source_files: [<list of .adoc paths>]
      blog_type: <tutorial|announcement|thought-leadership|case-study|quick-start>
      platform: <redhat-developer|internal|medium|marketing>
      technical_depth: <highly-technical|moderately-technical|marketing-focused>
      word_count: <500-800|1000-1500|2000+>
      showroom_link: <URL or null>
      lab_name: <auto-detected from source>

Phase 3 — Inline Quality Check

The file-generator agent applies blog-specific quality checks internally. After it returns, verify:

• Tone is narrative and conversational — not a numbered step list
• Word count matches requested target (±20%)
• At least one code block is present for technical posts
• CTA appears at the end (if showroom_link was provided)
• All external links are valid references from source material
• Source attribution present (one of):
  • Red Hat Developer: "This post is based on the workshop Lab Name"
  • Internal: "Source: [original module path]"
  • Marketing: "Based on customer use cases from [reference]"

Fix any issues inline before delivering.

Phase 4 — Deliver

✅ Blog post generated: <filename> (<word_count> words)

Quality: 0 Critical, 0 High, N Warnings
  [list warnings if any]

Platform guidance:
  Red Hat Developer: Submit at developers.redhat.com/write-for-us
  Internal: Post to Source or Memo
