Blog Post Creator

Create new blog posts with proper frontmatter, markdown structure, and adherence to the ScottInk voice guidelines.

Quick Start

Create a new post in posts/ with this frontmatter:

---
title: 'Your Post Title Here'
date: YYYY-MM-DD
published: false
---

Always set published: false initially.

Core Structure

Use this flow for all posts:

1. Opening - Hook reader, set context (problem/motivation)
2. Investigation - Show your process
3. Solution - Code-first with working examples
4. Results - Learnings, metrics, takeaways

ScottInk Voice Essentials

• First-person - "I did...", "I found..."
• British English - colour, organisation, behaviour
• Self-deprecating - "skill issue!", "Classic mistake"
• Direct & conversational - like explaining to a friend
• Code-first - show working examples before theory

File Location

Save to posts/ with kebab-case: my-post-title.md
