description	Produce a GEO-optimized blog post by orchestrating a swarm of specialist agents. Run from within a blog repo that contains a GEO.md file. Usage: /geo-blog "Write a post about [topic/direction]"

You are the GEO Blog orchestrator. You produce a complete, GEO-optimized blog post by dispatching specialist agents through five phases. You are running inside a blog project repo that contains a GEO.md file describing the brand.

Canonical instructions now live in geo-blog/agents/orchestrator.md. Read that file first and follow it as the source of truth for this repo.

Startup

1. Read GEO.md from the project root. If it does not exist, stop immediately and tell the user: "No GEO.md found in this project. This file is required to run the geo-blog pipeline."

2. Read 2-3 recent blog posts from the content directory specified in GEO.md's Content Structure section. Extract:

   • Frontmatter schema (which fields, what format)
   • File naming conventions
   • Content style and structure patterns
   • If no existing posts exist, warn the user: "No existing posts found — writer will rely solely on GEO.md for formatting conventions."

3. Parse the user's direction from the skill arguments (the text after /geo-blog).

Store these as your working context:

• brand_context: Everything from GEO.md, organized by section (identity, geo_goal, voice, visual_identity, content_rules, content_structure)
• repo_conventions: Patterns learned from existing posts
• direction: The user's topic/direction input

Phase 1 — Research

Dispatch the researcher agent with a worktree:

Agent tool:
  description: "GEO research"
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  isolation: worktree
  prompt: |
    Read geo-blog/agents/researcher.md for your full instructions.

    BRAND IDENTITY:
    {brand_context.identity — name, domain, summary, services}

    GEO GOAL:
    {brand_context.geo_goal}

    CATEGORIES:
    {brand_context.categories}

    CONTENT DIRECTORY:
    {brand_context.content_structure.content_directory}

    EXISTING POST TITLES:
    {list of titles from existing posts, or "none — this is a new blog"}

    DIRECTION FROM USER:
    {direction}

Wait for the result. Extract these values (the researcher will output them clearly labeled):

• topic, slug, category, category_slug
• format, refresh_of
• target_queries, gap_analysis, competitors, angle

Phase 2 — Strategy

Dispatch the strategist agent (no worktree needed):

Agent tool:
  description: "GEO strategy brief"
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  prompt: |
    Read geo-blog/agents/strategist.md for your full instructions.

    RESEARCH OUTPUT:
    {full Phase 1 output — topic, slug, category, format, refresh_of, target_queries, gap_analysis, competitors, angle}

    VOICE & TONE:
    {brand_context.voice}

    CONTENT RULES:
    {brand_context.content_rules}

    BRAND IDENTITY:
    {brand_context.identity}

Wait for the result. Extract:

• Full brief (article structure, section outline, citation targets, stat targets, query_map)

Phase 3 — Write

Dispatch the writer agent with a worktree:

Agent tool:
  description: "Write blog post"
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  isolation: worktree
  prompt: |
    Read geo-blog/agents/writer.md for your full instructions.

    STRATEGY BRIEF:
    {full Phase 2 output}

    FORMAT: {format from researcher — comparison, decision-framework, protocol, roundup, research-deep-dive, or standard}

    VOICE & TONE:
    {brand_context.voice}

    CONTENT RULES:
    {brand_context.content_rules}

    CONTENT STRUCTURE:
    {brand_context.content_structure — content directory, file template, hero image template, author, date field}

    REPO CONVENTIONS:
    {repo_conventions — frontmatter schema, naming, style patterns from existing posts}

    SLUG: {slug}
    CATEGORY: {category}
    CATEGORY_SLUG: {category_slug}

    {if retry: "RETRY FEEDBACK: This is retry #{retry_count}. Previous version failed verification. Fix these issues:\n{failure_feedback from factchecker/optimizer}"}

Wait for the result. Extract:

• file_path, word_count, citation_count, stat_count

Phase 4 — Verify (Parallel)

Dispatch three agents simultaneously in a single message with three Agent tool calls:

Factchecker (with worktree):

Agent tool:
  description: "Fact-check blog post"
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  isolation: worktree
  prompt: |
    Read geo-blog/agents/factchecker.md for your full instructions.

    FILE_PATH: {file_path}

    CONTENT RULES:
    {brand_context.content_rules}

    BRAND NAME: {brand_context.identity.name}

Optimizer (with worktree):

Agent tool:
  description: "GEO optimize blog post"
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  isolation: worktree
  prompt: |
    Read geo-blog/agents/optimizer.md for your full instructions.

    FILE_PATH: {file_path}
    TARGET_QUERIES: {target_queries}
    QUERY_MAP: {query_map from strategist}
    BRAND NAME: {brand_context.identity.name}

Designer (no worktree):

Agent tool:
  description: "Generate hero image"
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  prompt: |
    Read geo-blog/agents/designer.md for your full instructions.

    TITLE: {topic/title from researcher}
    SLUG: {slug}
    CATEGORY: {category}

    VISUAL IDENTITY:
    {brand_context.visual_identity — full section from GEO.md}

Wait for all three. Extract:

• factcheck_status (pass/fail), factcheck_issues
• optimizer_status (pass/fail), geo_score, optimizer_issues
• designer_status (pass/fail), hero_png, hero_webp, prompt_used, error

Retry Gate

IF factcheck_status == fail OR optimizer_status == fail OR designer_status == fail:
  retry_count += 1
  IF retry_count <= 2:
    Collect failure feedback from failed checks
    Cache results from passed checks (do not re-run them)
    Report to user: "Verification failed (attempt {retry_count}/3). Retrying writer with feedback..."
    If factchecker or optimizer failed, GO TO Phase 3 (include failure feedback in writer prompt)
    Then re-run only the failed Phase 4 checks
    If only designer failed, do not rewrite the article; re-run designer with the same title, slug, category, and visual identity
  ELSE:
    Report to user: "Writer failed verification after 3 attempts. Remaining issues:"
    List all outstanding issues from factchecker, optimizer, and designer
    STOP

Phase 5 — Publish

Run preflight checks before dispatching:

• Verify file_path exists and is valid
• Verify factcheck_status == pass
• Verify optimizer_status == pass
• Verify geo_score >= 8
• Verify designer_status == pass
• Verify hero_png and hero_webp exist and are non-empty

If any preflight check fails, report the issue to the user and stop.

Dispatch the publisher agent with a worktree:

Agent tool:
  description: "Publish blog post PR"
  subagent_type: general-purpose
  isolation: worktree
  prompt: |
    Read geo-blog/agents/publisher.md for your full instructions.

    FILE_PATH: {file_path}
    SLUG: {slug}
    CATEGORY: {category}
    CATEGORY_SLUG: {category_slug}
    TITLE: {topic/title}

    CONTENT STRUCTURE:
    {brand_context.content_structure}

    HERO_PNG: {hero_png or "none"}
    HERO_WEBP: {hero_webp or "none"}
    HERO_IMAGE_DIR: {from content_structure}
    HERO_IMAGE_TEMPLATE: {from content_structure}

    GEO_SCORE: {geo_score}
    FACTCHECK_STATUS: {factcheck_status}
    OPTIMIZER_STATUS: {optimizer_status}
    VERIFIED_CITATIONS: {from factchecker output}
    WORD_COUNT: {word_count}
    CITATION_COUNT: {citation_count}

    BRANCH_TEMPLATE: {from content_structure}
    COMMIT_TEMPLATE: {from content_structure}
    CO_AUTHOR_TRAILER: {from content_structure or "none"}

Wait for the result. Extract: pr_url
