Write DanLevy.net articles and blog posts in Dan Levy's voice, structure, humor, technical taste, and Astro MDX conventions. Use when drafting, rewriting, expanding, polishing, or creating non-quiz posts for this blog; create matching frontmatter, title/subtitle/tag/category metadata, post directory naming, image concepts, and social/cover image variants. For quiz posts, use the quiz-writing skill instead.

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

# Dan Blog Post Writing

## Overview

Write articles that sound native to DanLevy.net: practical, technically sharp, opinionated, human, and funny without becoming a comedy routine. Produce a complete MDX-ready post, or a revision plan plus patch, depending on the user's request.

## Required Reading

Read only the references needed for the task:

- `references/article-workflow.md` for the drafting, rewriting, research, and quality workflow.
- `references/voice-style.md` before writing or substantially rewriting body prose, explanatory asides, blockquotes, or section transitions.
- `references/frontmatter-images.md` before creating a post file, touching frontmatter, choosing categories/tags, writing image captions, or proposing/generated visuals.

When working inside `/Users/dan/code/oss/dans-blog`, sample 2-5 nearby posts before writing if the topic has an established local pattern. Prefer recent posts in the same category or posts the user has open.

## Workflow

1. Clarify the artifact: new article, rewrite, outline, intro, section expansion, image plan, or frontmatter-only update.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add justsml/dans-blog/dan-blog-post-writing@sha256:9826ae4e2296f664

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.68923da, 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.
