Blog Writer

What This Skill Does

The Blog Writer skill, known as blog-writer-pro, is a comprehensive CLI-based toolkit designed for content creators, marketers, and technical writers. It streamlines the entire blog production lifecycle—from ideation and outlining to drafting, SEO optimization, and final formatting. By leveraging standard Unix tools and automated script workflows, it allows users to maintain high-quality content standards directly from the terminal. The skill provides granular control over tone, structure, and readability, ensuring that every article meets professional publishing requirements.

Installation

You can install the skill via the OpenClaw hub with the following command:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bytesagain/blog-writer-pro

Once installed, the tool stores your drafts and history in ~/.blog-writer-pro/ by default. Ensure you have bash 4.0+ and core Unix utilities installed on your system to ensure full functionality.

Use Cases

• Long-form Content Production: Rapidly generate blog post skeletons and full drafts based on target keywords.
• Content Auditing: Use the rewrite command to adjust the tone of legacy content from formal to casual or persuasive.
• SEO Optimization: Analyze potential keywords using the seo command to check for title fit, slug viability, and meta-variations.
• Editorial Workflow: Manage multiple drafts in a centralized storage location with built-in word count and readability analysis.
• Multi-format Distribution: Export finished drafts into clean HTML, text, or markdown for easy integration with CMS platforms.

Example Prompts

1. "@BlogWriter outline a guide on the impact of artificial intelligence on software engineering practices."
2. "@BlogWriter rewrite the content in ~/my-draft.md to have a more persuasive, professional tone."
3. "@BlogWriter draft an article about modern cybersecurity trends for small businesses and include a subscribe CTA."

Tips & Limitations

• Tips: Use the history command to track your previous drafts and iterations, which is useful when working on content series. Combine commands to create a custom shell script for your specific workflow (e.g., draft -> seo -> export).
• Limitations: The skill is CLI-native; if you prefer a graphical user interface (GUI), you will need to utilize the export command to move your work to a text editor. Ensure write permissions are set for the directory configured in BLOG_WRITER_PRO_DIR to avoid save errors.
