Scott Blog Post
Use this skill for scottspence.com posts.
Quick Start
Build evidence first, choose a high-intent slug/title, draft into
posts/<slug>.md, then validate with Prettier, cspell, and preferably
pnpm build.
Workflow
- Read nearby/relevant posts from
posts/.
- Query
data/site-data.db with mcp-sqlite-tools for recent slugs,
titles, tags, and positioning.
- Inspect referenced repos/files and recent git churn before making
claims.
- Use
pirecall/ccrecall or mcp-sqlite-tools when the story
comes from session history.
- Keep the prose evidence-led, personal, useful, and free of generic
AI-blog framing.
Voice rules
- Conversational, blunt, technical, reflective.
- Use Scott-like phrasing naturally: “Right, so,” “the bit I care
about,” “vibes,” “dog shite,” when it fits.
- Prefer concrete receipts: stats, commits, files, session excerpts,
eval results.
- en-GB spelling. No em dashes.
- SEO is for slug/title/search intent; the body must not read like SEO
sludge.
- Avoid corporate polish, fake neutrality, and “In today's
fast-paced...” intros.
Post shape
Use existing frontmatter: date, quoted title, tags,
published: true.
Default structure: hook, context, why it mattered, what changed,
evidence, trade-offs, practical takeaway, references.
When useful, load references/post-brief-template.md for the reusable
prompt template.
