Software Rewired Blog Drafting Skill

Use this skill when the user shares the topic, message, audience, or source notes for a new Software Rewired blog post.

Workflow

1. Work from the repository root that contains src/content/posts.
2. If the git worktree is dirty, stop unless the user explicitly approves continuing.
3. Run the helper to sync the default branch, create a new blog branch, and emit the target post path plus style context from recent posts.
4. Use OpenClaw's configured model to draft the blog post directly. Do not call a provider API from the helper script.
5. Write a markdown file to the emitted post_path with frontmatter keys: title, date, author, tags, summary.
6. Match the tone of recent Software Rewired posts: practical, optimistic but grounded, and easy to scan.
7. Report the branch name and saved post path.

Command

Run the helper from the repo root:

python3 openclaw/scripts/create_blog_post.py \
  --brief "Your blog brief goes here"

Useful optional flags:

--title "Optional title"
--tags "AI,Software Architecture"
--author "Anurag Mohan"
--date "2026-03-26"
--slug "optional-slug"
--brief-file /absolute/path/to/brief.txt
--skip-git
--allow-dirty

Expected Helper Output

The helper prints JSON containing:

• branch
• post_path
• slug
• date
• author
• title_hint
• tags_hint
• brief
• style_samples

Use that JSON as the drafting context, then write the final markdown post yourself.

Notes

• This skill should rely on OpenClaw's configured model provider.
• No OPENAI_API_KEY is required for this skill.
• REPO_PATH, BLOG_AUTHOR, and BLOG_DEFAULT_BRANCH can still be used as defaults.
