| name | tag-post |
| description | Add or update tags on a blog or newsletter post using the site's canonical tag taxonomy. Use when the user asks to tag a post, review tags, or add tags. |
Tag post
Add or update tags on the specified post file. If no file is given, use the file currently open in VS Code (provided via IDE context). If no file is open or specified, ask which post to tag.
Read the post's front matter and content, then select 1-5 tags from the taxonomy below. Prefer using tags from this taxonomy, but if the post is about a different subject, ask whether to use a new tag. If you create a new tag, add it to this taxonomy. It is OK to use both a general and specific tag (e.g., digital history and computational history). It is OK to leave a post untagged if nothing fits well.
YAML format
Use non-indented list format:
tags:
- digital history
- American religious history

Judgment calls
digital history vs tools: Post about using tech for historical research -> digital history. How-to about the tool itself -> tools. Can overlap.digital history vs computational history: Use both when a post is about specifically computational/quantitative methods within digital history. Use only digital history for broader DH topics.- Language tags (
R/Go/Ruby/JavaScript) can coexist with programming.
data visualization vs spatial history: Maps and GIS -> spatial history. Charts and graphs -> data visualization. Can overlap.legal history vs Legal Modernism: Legal Modernism for posts about the specific project. legal history for general legal history. Can overlap.scholarly publishing vs publication: scholarly publishing = posts about the process. publication = announcing something the author published.American religious history vs history of Christianity: Use American religious history for US-focused. Use history of Christianity for broader/non-American contexts. Can overlap.- Micro/untitled posts (timestamp slugs): Generally leave untagged unless content clearly fits a tag.
Output
Show the proposed tags with a brief rationale for each, then ask: "Want me to apply these tags?"
