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.
