record-idea

Use this skill to a new idea for a blogpost or to update an existing idea for a blogpost. Make sure to include a detailed description for the blogpost.

Instructions

When the user provides a blog idea, do the following:

1. •

   Check for duplicates first. Read all existing files in the ideas/ directory and compare their titles and descriptions against the new idea. If an existing idea covers the same or a very similar topic, update that file instead of creating a new one. Merge any new details (key points, references, notes) into the existing file rather than overwriting them.

2. •

   Ask the user for any details they haven't provided yet. At minimum you need:

   • •A short title for the idea
   • •A brief description of what the post would cover

   The user may also optionally provide:

   • •Target audience notes
   • •Key points or angles to explore
   • •Relevant links or references
   • •Suggested post structure (see .claude/agents/redaction.md for available structures)
3. •

   Generate a URL-friendly slug from the title (lowercase, hyphens, no special characters).

4. •

   Create or update a markdown file at ideas/<slug>.md with this format:

   markdown

   # <Title>
   
   ## Description
   
   <Brief description of what the post would cover>
   
   ## Key Points
   
   - <Point 1>
   - <Point 2>
   - ...
   
   ## Notes
   
   <Include the original idea description here or expand this section with additional notes>
   
   ## References
   
   - <Any relevant links or resources>
   

5. •

   Omit any optional sections the user didn't provide information for.

6. •

   Confirm to the user whether the idea was newly recorded or merged into an existing idea, and show the file path.
