Design, build, or revise a technical blog and changelog as a product system, including its index, navigation, release history, heading links, search, responsive article layout, internal links, and social previews. Use when creating a publication, repairing a missing reading or sharing baseline, or changing shared blog presentation. Pair with ai-devblog for article writing.

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 System Design

Build a dense, readable technical publication rather than a marketing landing
page. Treat the index, post shell, navigation, typography, and explanatory
components as one reusable reading system.

## Keep the boundary clear

Use `ai-devblog` for choosing an article angle, writing and editing the prose,
selecting article-specific evidence, and publishing a post. Use this skill when
that work requires a new or changed shared layout, navigation model, taxonomy,
search behavior, or reusable component.

One article must not silently redesign the blog. Audit the existing system
first. Reuse a suitable established component; change the system deliberately
when the existing pattern is inadequate.

For a small static TypeScript blog with no suitable existing implementation,
adapt the [runnable starter](assets/static-blog-starter/README.md): it includes the
reading shell, search, stable anchors, related links and social-card generation.
Use the existing site's stack and shell when they already meet the need.

## Audit before designing

Inspect the rendered blog and its implementation at desktop, tablet, and mobile
sizes. Identify:

- content source and metadata schema;

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add swyxio/skills/blog-system-design@sha256:bb5b7800d914849f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.63a09fa, 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.
