Setup

1. Install Dependencies

cd .claude/skills/ghost-blog/scripts
uv venv
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Configure Environment

cd .claude/skills/ghost-blog/scripts
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Ghost credentials

.env file:

GHOST_URL=https://your-blog.ghost.io
GHOST_ADMIN_KEY=your-key-id:your-secret-key
GHOST_API_VERSION=v5.0

Get your Admin API Key:

1. Go to Ghost Admin → Settings → Integrations
2. Create a Custom Integration
3. Copy the Admin API Key (format: id:secret)

3. Verify Setup

cd .claude/skills/ghost-blog/scripts && uv run python ghost_core.py

Quick Start

List posts:

python scripts/posts_browse.py --status draft
python scripts/posts_browse.py --tag news --featured

Manage single post:

python scripts/posts_crud.py get --id POST_ID
python scripts/posts_crud.py create --title "New Post" --html "<p>Content</p>"
python scripts/posts_crud.py publish --id POST_ID

Bulk operations:

python scripts/posts_bulk.py publish --filter "status:draft" --execute
python scripts/posts_bulk.py add-tag --filter "status:published" --tag "archive" --execute

Manage tags:

python scripts/tags_manage.py list
python scripts/tags_manage.py create --name "Tutorial"

Scripts

Script	Purpose
ghost_core.py	Shared: JWT auth, HTTP client, error handling
posts_browse.py	List, filter, search posts
posts_crud.py	CRUD operations for single posts
posts_bulk.py	Batch operations (publish, tags, featured)
tags_manage.py	CRUD operations for tags

Filter Syntax (NQL)

Ghost uses NQL for filtering:

# Status
status:draft
status:published
status:scheduled

# Tags (use slug, not name)
tag:news
tags:[news,tutorial]

# Featured
featured:true

# Combine (AND)
status:published+featured:true

# Combine (OR)
status:draft,status:scheduled

Note: The --tag option in posts_browse.py accepts both tag names and slugs. It automatically resolves names to slugs via API lookup.

Creating Posts from Markdown Files

When creating posts from markdown files (e.g., a blog series):

import markdown
from ghost_core import api_request

# 1. Convert Markdown to HTML
md_content = open('article.md').read()
html_content = markdown.markdown(md_content, extensions=['extra', 'nl2br'])

# 2. Create post with source=html (CRITICAL for Ghost 5.0+)
post_data = {
    'title': 'My Post',
    'html': html_content,
    'status': 'draft',
    'tags': ['my-tag']
}
response = api_request('POST', 'posts/',
                       data={'posts': [post_data]},
                       params={'source': 'html'})  # Required!

Important: Ghost 5.0+ uses Lexical editor format. The source=html param tells Ghost to convert HTML to Lexical. Without it, post content will be empty!

Fixing Internal Links

If markdown files have internal links like [Title](other-file.md), replace them with Ghost slugs after creating posts:

LINK_MAP = {
    'old-file.md': '/new-ghost-slug/',
}

html = html.replace('href="old-file.md"', 'href="/new-ghost-slug/"')

Safety Features

• Bulk operations: Preview mode by default

• Delete operations: Require --confirm flag

• API versioning: Uses Ghost v5.0 API

• HTML conversion: Auto-adds source=html param for Ghost 5.0+ compatibility

Testing

Setup Test Environment

cd .claude/skills/ghost-blog/scripts
uv venv
uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Run Tests

cd .claude/skills/ghost-blog/scripts && uv run pytest -v

Run with Coverage

cd .claude/skills/ghost-blog/scripts && uv run pytest -v --cov=. --cov-report=term-missing

Troubleshooting

Error	Cause	Solution
"No virtual environment found"	Missing venv	Run uv venv in scripts directory
"Failed to spawn: pytest"	Missing deps	Run uv pip install -r requirements.txt
"GHOST_URL not set"	Missing .env	Copy .env.example to .env and configure
"GHOST_ADMIN_KEY invalid format"	Wrong key format	Key must be id:secret format
"UnauthorizedError"	Invalid API key	Check key is valid and has permissions
"UPDATE_COLLISION"	Post modified	Retry operation (auto-refetches updated_at)
Post content empty	Missing source=html	Ghost 5.0+ requires source=html param
Tag filter returns 0	Using name instead of slug	Use tag slug or let script resolve it
HTTP 422 on tags list	Invalid params	Don't use include=count.posts or order
Links point to .md files	Internal markdown links	Replace with Ghost slugs after creating posts
