name	ai-coding-daily-writer
description	Draft and maintain daily AI coding trend articles for a docs or blog repository. Use when Codex needs to research the latest AI coding models, agents, IDEs, release notes, pricing changes, workflow shifts, or benchmark updates; create a dated daily brief; or turn current product changes into a publishable article.

AI Coding Daily Writer

Overview

Create publishable daily AI coding articles with a fixed structure, dated sourcing, and clear engineering impact. Use the bundled script to open a dated blog file, then fill it with verified, time-sensitive content.

Workflow

1. Define scope

• Use the requested date if the user provides one. Otherwise use the current local date.
• Keep scope tightly focused on AI coding, not general AI news.
• Prefer one daily brief over multiple fragmented updates.

2. Research before writing

• Browse because the content is time-sensitive.
• Prefer primary sources: official blogs, docs, release notes, GitHub releases.
• Use secondary analysis only to add context, not as the factual base.
• Read source-playbook.md before drafting if the topic mix is unclear.

3. Create the daily file

From the repo root, run:

./skills/ai-coding-daily-writer/new-daily-brief.sh <topic-slug>

The script creates:

blog/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic-slug>.md

Use short ASCII slugs such as codex-cli-release-shift or claude-code-team-rollout.

4. Draft the article

Use this structure:

1. TL;DR
2. What changed today
3. Why it matters
4. What to test
5. Watchlist
6. Sources

Keep the piece focused on 3 to 5 material changes.

5. Preserve rigor

• Write exact dates for time-sensitive facts.
• Distinguish facts from inference.
• Translate product announcements into engineering consequences.
• If evidence is thin, say so explicitly.
• If nothing truly important happened, publish a short no-signal brief instead of forcing weak items.

Resources

• source-playbook.md: source priority, topic selection rules, and article checklist
• new-daily-brief.sh: creates a Docusaurus blog post template for the current date

Output Standard

• The article must be ready to publish in a Docusaurus blog without extra restructuring.
• Keep tone analytical, not promotional.
• Every item should answer one question: what should an engineer or technical leader do with this information?
