Author a new entry for the Semiotic blog. Use this skill whenever the user asks for a blog post, release summary, chart explainer, or case study to publish at /blog/SLUG.
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
# Writing a Semiotic blog post
This skill writes one entry for the Semiotic blog. The blog lives at
`/blog/`; entries live at `/blog/<slug>/`. Three story shapes are
supported — pick the one that matches what's being written:
1. **Chart explainer** — single chart, "what / why / when / wiring".
2. **Release summary** — what's new in a version, ordered by impact.
3. **Narrative / case study** — comparative posts ("X vs Y"),
walkthroughs, recreations of historical visualizations.
Every entry follows the same structure regardless of shape. The
**why-care** section is non-negotiable: the post has to give the
reader a reason to read it that lands even if they're not currently
using Semiotic. The blog isn't reference docs; it's a publication
that happens to be hosted on the docs site.
## Before writing anything
**Ask the user for the author byline** unless they've already given
one. Don't assume "Elijah Meeks" by default — many entries will be
co-authored or attributed to "Semiotic Team" for releases. One short
question, then proceed.
## File structure
For a new entry with slug `<slug>`:
1. **Body component** — `docs/src/blog/entries/<slug>.jsx`. Default

How to install
mdr add nteract/semiotic/blog-post@sha256:c5f054b7c16fb656The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260806.84ea735, 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.
