Draft Article

Overview

Create a new post draft from a subject and raw thoughts, following the house writing style and the Blog Automation API workflow.

Load references/agents.md before generating or submitting drafts.

Workflow

1) Gather required inputs

• Generate a title, summary, tags, seo_title, and seo_description if one is not supplied. Use author_name, author_email from the most recent article if not supplied.
• Generate suggestions for any optional items the user cares about: slug, hero_image_url, hero_image_alt, featured.
• If tags are unclear, offer to fetch tag suggestions with GET /tags.

2) Draft the article

• Use the writing style in references/agents.md.
• Avoid typical LLM tells: no "not X but Y" framing, no em dashes, no scare quotes around ordinary words, and use straight ASCII quotes/apostrophes only.
• Prefer prose over bulleted lists; use bullets sparingly and only when they add clarity.
• Open with a hook and a clear thesis early (bold or standalone sentence).
• Include 2-4 ideas or mental models with reasoning and tradeoffs.
• Structure with ## headings as claims, short paragraphs, and whitespace.
• End with a conclusion or an invitation to reach out or discuss.

3) Submit draft via API

• Call POST /posts with status: "draft" and required fields, including seo_title and seo_description.
• If the user asked to publish, confirm and set status: "published" with published_at.
• Show the user the payload before submitting if anything is inferred.

Output format

• Provide the drafted body_markdown, title, summary, tags, seo_title, and seo_description for review.
• If requested, immediately submit the draft and return the created post ID/slug.

API usage

Use the references/agents.md API spec and examples. Prefer curl for visibility and reproducibility.

Notes

• Keep all content in ASCII unless the existing post uses Unicode.
• If the user wants revisions, update only the draft content, not unrelated fields.
