Learn from Blogs to Improve Claude Code Usage

Read the latest articles from blogs defined in blogs.yaml and extract/practice content that can improve Claude Code usage.

Configuration

• •blogs.yaml - Blogs to monitor (in this skill directory)
• •blogs.example.yaml - Configuration example

State Tracking

• •state.schema.json - JSON Schema definition
• •state.yaml - Last check state (auto-created, gitignored)
• •state.example.yaml - Example with schema reference

Rules:

• •last_checked is Unix epoch seconds (UTC)
• •Schema comment (# yaml-language-server: ...) must be preserved on updates
• •Concurrent execution: last write wins (use atomic write: temp file + rename)
• •Orphan keys: remove entries from state.yaml if blog is deleted from blogs.yaml
• •Only update state for successfully fetched blogs

Recovery:

• •If state.yaml is corrupted, delete it and run /cc-blog again

Tasks

1. •Read blogs.yaml to get blog list
2. •Read state.yaml if exists (first run: treat all as new, create blogs: {})
   • •If parse error: warn user and offer to delete and recreate
3. •Remove orphan keys from state (blogs not in blogs.yaml)
4. •For each blog:
   • •Fetch latest articles using WebFetch
   • •If fetch fails: report error and skip this blog (do not update state)
   • •Compare with state.yaml.blogs.<name>:
     • •If last_url matches: "No new articles"
     • •If last_url differs: mark as [NEW]
5. •For NEW articles: Pick up content related to Claude Code / AI usage
6. •Extract specific things to try in your environment
7. •Propose implementation steps
8. •Record in CLAUDE.md or docs/claude-code-routine.md if effective
9. •Ask user: "Update state.yaml to mark these as seen?"
10. •If yes, update state.yaml (atomic write: write to temp file, then rename):
    • •Preserve schema comment at top
    • •Only update successfully fetched blogs
    • •Set last_checked to current Unix epoch
    • •Set last_url, last_title, last_published from newest article
