| description | Suggest title options for a blog post draft, published post, post idea, or notes. Use when Codex needs to propose titles for a blog post, especially before creating a new Jekyll `_posts` version from a draft. |
Blog Title Suggestions
Use this documentation-only workflow to suggest titles for a blog post.
Model
When model choice is available, use the latest/highest-capability thinking or reasoning model for title generation.
Inputs
- Use the post draft, published post, title, excerpt, or notes the user provides.
- If the user provides a file path, read the file before suggesting titles.
- If the post has front matter, use the existing title, excerpt, and tags as context.
- Read
STYLE.md if available and preserve the author's direct, practical tone.
Output
Suggest exactly 10 title options.
For each title:
- Keep it direct, specific, and in the author's voice.
- Reflect the post's actual thesis, not only a broad topic area.
- Prefer clear nouns and verbs over cleverness.
- Avoid glib, joke-like, cute, clickbait, or overly polished marketing phrasing.
- Avoid colons unless the title genuinely needs one.
- Keep the title usable as Jekyll front matter with minimal editing.
After listing the 10 options, ask the user to pick one title or provide an edited title.
Final Response
Return only the 10 title options and the prompt asking the user to choose or edit one, unless the user asks for explanation.
