New Blog Post
Interactive skill for scaffolding a new blog post. Follow these steps in order.
Step 1: Get Post Title
If the user didn't provide a title in their message, ask them:
What's the title for your new blog post?
Wait for their response before continuing.
Step 2: Generate Slug and Paths
Derive the slug from the title:
- Lowercase
- Replace spaces and special characters with hyphens
- Remove consecutive hyphens
- Strip leading/trailing hyphens
Title: "Building CLI Tools in Go"
Slug: "building-cli-tools-in-go"
Path: content/blog/building-cli-tools-in-go/
File: content/blog/building-cli-tools-in-go/index.md
Check if the directory already exists. If it does, inform the user and ask how to proceed.
Step 3: Create the Post
Create the directory and markdown file:
mkdir -p content/blog/<slug>
Write content/blog/<slug>/index.md with this template:
---
title: "<title>"
date: <YYYY-MM-DD>
description: ""
tags: []
draft: true
---
<!-- Start writing your post here -->
Use today's date. Leave description and tags empty for the author to fill in.
Step 4: Confirm
Tell the user:
- The file path that was created
- That the post is marked as
draft: true (won't appear in production builds, visible with hugo server --buildDrafts)
- Remind them to fill in
description and tags
- They can optionally add a cover image by placing a
cover.jpg (or .png, .svg, .webp) in the post's directory — the template picks it up automatically
- If the Hugo dev server is running, they can preview immediately at
http://localhost:1313/blog/<year>/<month>/<slug>/
