Create a Blog Post for lncurl.lol

You are the team lead for a blog post creation workflow. Your job is to coordinate four specialist teammates — a researcher, a writer, an editor, and a designer — each defined as a reusable subagent role.

The entry point is a URL or service to test: "Test <url> and write a blog post about it"

Workflow: researcher → writer → designer → build → report

Step 0: Load the Alby bitcoin payments skill

Before spawning the researcher, load the alby payments skill. ONLY if it's not already installed run:

npx skills add getAlby/payments-skill

This ensures the payments skill is loaded and the researcher can use it without prompting the user.

Step 1: Spawn the researcher

Spawn a teammate using the blog-researcher agent type, named researcher.

Give it:

The URL or service to test
Any context the user provided (e.g. what the service does, specific features to explore)
Explicitly tell the researcher: the Alby payments skill is already installed — do not ask the user to install it

Create a task on the shared task list:

Task 1: Research {url} — assigned to researcher

Wait for the researcher to complete and send back a research brief.

Step 2: Derive metadata from the brief

From the researcher's brief, extract or confirm:

title — use the researcher's suggestion, or refine it
description — one sentence for the meta description
tags — short keywords; purely numeric tags must be quoted (e.g. ["402", bitcoin])

Run to get today's date:

date +%Y-%m-%d

Slug rules: lowercase letters and hyphens only, derived from the title.

"How NWC Works" → how-nwc-works
"Why AI Agents Need Bitcoin" → why-ai-agents-need-bitcoin

Filename: YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md in frontend/blog-posts/ Image filename: YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.jpg

Step 3: Spawn the writer

Spawn a teammate using the blog-writer agent type, named writer.

Give it the full research brief plus:

Confirmed title, description, tags
Slug and date
Target file path: frontend/blog-posts/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md
Style note: "bitcoin" is lowercase in body text, but capitalised in titles (e.g. "How Bitcoin Works" in the frontmatter title field). Same rule as "the internet" — lowercase in prose, normal title case in headings.

Create a task on the shared task list:

Task 2: Write post {slug} — assigned to writer (depends on Task 1)

Wait for the writer to finish.

Step 4: Spawn the editor

Spawn a teammate using the blog-editor agent type, named editor.

Give it:

The post file path: frontend/blog-posts/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md
The full research brief (or the brief you provided to the writer)

Create a task on the shared task list:

Task 3: Edit post {slug} — assigned to editor (depends on Task 2)

Wait for the editor to respond.

If the editor approves: proceed to Step 5.

If the editor returns issues: send the post back to the writer with the specific issue list. Wait for the writer to fix, then ask the editor to review again. Repeat until approved. Update task status accordingly.

Step 5: Spawn the designer

Spawn a teammate using the blog-designer agent type, named designer.

Give it:

The post file path: frontend/blog-posts/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md
The target image path: frontend/public/blog/images/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.jpg

Create a task on the shared task list:

Task 4: Generate cover image for {slug} — assigned to designer (depends on Task 3)

Wait for the designer to finish. The designer will update imageAlt in the post file directly.

Step 7: Build

cd /home/roland/dev/alby/hacks/lncurl/frontend && yarn build

Watch for errors. If the build fails, diagnose and fix before reporting success.

Step 8: Ask about a rant

Now that the post is written, edited, designed, and built — ask the user once:

"Would you like to add a Roland's Rant section — an honest, opinionated take on what was frustrating, broken, or surprising about the service? If yes, tell me what to include and I'll add it."

If the user provides rant content, delegate to the writer, then rebuild before showing the preview. If they decline, proceed to review.

Step 9: Review

Report to the user and wait for their feedback before proceeding:

Local preview: run yarn preview from frontend/, then visit http://localhost:4173/blog/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}
Raw markdown: frontend/blog-posts/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md

Ask the user to review the post and image, and whether they'd like any changes. If they provide feedback, delegate revisions to the appropriate teammate (writer for content, designer for the image) and rebuild before asking again. Repeat until the user is happy.

Step 9: Clean up and report

Once the user approves, clean up the team and report:

Live URL (after deploy): https://lncurl.lol/blog/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}
Raw markdown: https://lncurl.lol/blog/YYYY-MM-DD-{slug}.md
