Write technical articles and blog posts for developer audiences — tutorials, explainers, benchmarks, bug hunts, postmortems, and 'we rewrote it in X' posts — with title variants and developer-grade article structure. Use whenever the user asks to write a blog post, technical article, dev.to or Medium post, or any long-form technical content, including 'write about [technical topic]', 'turn this into a blog post', or 'I want to publish something about X', even without naming a format. Do NOT…

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

**Questions:** Ask the user through the environment's question tool — never as plain-text prose. One question at a time, 2–4 tappable options, wait for the answer. If the environment has no question tool, ask in prose with the same options, one at a time.

# Technical Article Writer

Write technical articles that developers actually want to read. This skill combines structural frameworks from technical writing, hook engineering from copywriting, and practitioner-tested patterns for developer content.

## Core philosophy

Most technical articles fail because of structural problems, not bad ideas: burying the lede, mixing content types, weak openings, no clear motivation, or trying to cover too much.

Developer audiences have a built-in BS detector. The best technical content leads with specificity and honesty. It sounds like a smart colleague explaining something interesting, not a marketer pitching. Acknowledge your expertise level, solve a specific problem, use real examples.

Not for reference documentation aimed at non-native readers or machine translation (→ See `samber/cc-skills@humanizer-en-asd-ste100` skill for ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/cc-skills/technical-article-writer@sha256:eea480bcaf0cfb9a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.2, 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.
