Publish

Drafts promotional content for a new blog post.

Usage

• /publish - Draft for most recent post
• /publish [slug] - Draft for specific post

Workflow

1. Find the post in ~/Developer/campedersen.com/src/posts/
2. Read it fully to understand the hook
3. Generate email + tweet using voice from /blog skill
4. Output both in copy-pasteable format

Email Format

Subject: [Post Title]

[1-2 sentence hook - the problem or revelation]

[Optional: 1 sentence context]

Read it here: https://campedersen.com/[slug]

- Cam

Tweet Format

[hook that stands alone - lowercase, casual]

https://campedersen.com/[slug]

Max 280 chars. No hashtags. No emojis.

Voice Quick Reference

See /blog for full guidelines. Key points:

• Lead with the problem solved or a weird specific detail
• Lowercase for tweets, casual punctuation
• Short sentences, dashes over semicolons
• One exclamation max
• "shipped" not "launched", "wrote" not "published"
• End email with "- Cam"

Never say:

• "We're excited to announce..."
• "Check out this amazing..."
• "I'm thrilled to share..."
