Write short, Semrush-style blog post intros with journey teasers, practical relevance, and reader intent matching. Use when the user asks for /intro, a blog intro, opening paragraph, article lead, listicle intro, or hook copy for a post.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Blog Intro Writer

Write engaging blog intros in the style of high-performing SEO listicles and guides ([examples.md](examples.md#contents)).

## Contents

- [When this applies](#when-this-applies)
- [First step](#first-step)
- [Commitments](#commitments)
- [Intro patterns](#intro-patterns)
- [Writing rules](#writing-rules)
- [Slug, title, and image alt](#slug-title-and-image-alt)
- [Default output](#default-output)
- [Full output format](#full-output-format)
- [Quality check](#quality-check)

## When this applies

The user invoked **`/intro`**, or asked for a blog intro, opening paragraph, or lead copy for a post.

Works on its own or after title work (see the `seo-title-optimization` skill). If the slug or title is missing, ask briefly or propose one.

## First step

Say: "Tell me a bit about your content and I'll write an intro for it."

Gather enough to match intent:

- Topic, primary keyword, and search intent (informational, listicle, how-to, comparison)
- Target reader and their goal
- Article shape: listicle count, H2/H3 outline, or key sections
- Product angle, if the post promotes one
- Optional: chosen title, slug, featured image subject
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add illyism/seo-skills/intro@sha256:36607553327f1b12

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
