cnblogs-publisher

name	cnblogs-publisher
description	Publish, update, inspect, and organize local Markdown articles on cnblogs.com through the MetaWeblog API and an optional Playwright collection workflow. Use when the user explicitly asks to publish or update an article on CNBlogs, list or inspect existing CNBlogs posts, or add posts to a CNBlogs collection.

CNBlogs Publisher

Publish local Markdown files through the CNBlogs MetaWeblog API. Collection membership is managed separately through the CNBlogs web editor because the MetaWeblog API does not expose that setting.

Safety

• Publishing and updating are external, user-visible mutations. Only run those commands after the user has explicitly requested the corresponding action.
• Confirm the target file, title, categories, tags, and update post ID before publishing or replacing an existing post.
• Never put credentials or browser session data in source files, command arguments, logs, or chat output.
• Keep .env and .browser_profile/ untracked. The repository .gitignore already excludes both names at any directory depth.
• publish.py publishes immediately. Use it only when a public post is intended.

Configuration

The scripts preserve already exported environment variables and optionally load the nearest .env found by walking upward from the current directory and the script directory.
