What it does

Generate a blog post from source materials like text, PDFs, images, and video transcripts using multimodal analysis.

Files

/content-blog

Generate a blog post using the gemini-3 skill for multimodal content.

Usage

/content-blog

Before Running

If source/*.mp4 exists but content/transcript.md doesn't, run /content-transcribe first.

Working Directory

Run from the monorepo root. The script finds the linked post in posts/ automatically based on the project directory name.

Source Materials

Accepts any combination from the project directory:

  • source/*.txt or source/*.md (text files)
  • source/*.pdf (PDFs)
  • source/*.png, source/*.jpg (images)
  • content/transcript.md (video transcript)
  • content/description.md (video description/chapters)
  • screenshots/ (video screenshots, extracted on-demand)

Run

# Generate blog post from project, writes to posts/
uv run .claude/skills/content-blog/scripts/generate_blog.py posts/<id>

# Specify a different Gemini model
uv run .claude/skills/content-blog/scripts/generate_blog.py posts/<id> --model gemini-2.5-pro

How It Works

The script: 1. Gathers all source materials from the project directory 2. Builds a comprehensive prompt using Jinja2 templates 3. Calls the /gemini-3 skill with the prompt and all multimodal files 4. Saves the generated blog post to posts/<slug>/blog.md with draft: true

Screenshots

Screenshots must be extracted separately using /content-screenshot before or after blog generation.

1. Identify timestamps from the transcript/chapters that need visual illustration 2. Run /content-screenshot with those timestamps 3. Reference in the blog: ![Description](screenshots/screenshot-01m30s.png)

Output

Saves to posts/<slug>/blog.md (as a draft).

Post-Generation Editing

After the blog is generated, run two Zinsser editing passes using gemini-3 to tighten the prose.

Read writing-with-zinsser.md from the wiki directory for the full style guide, then run two passes:

POST="posts/YYYY-MM-DD-slug/blog.md"
STYLE="writing-with-zinsser.md"  # from wiki --add-dir

# First pass
uv run .claude/skills/gemini-3/scripts/query.py \
  "Review this blog post and apply Zinsser's writing principles. Return only the improved post, no commentary." \
  --context "$STYLE" \
  --context "$POST" \
  --model gemini-2.5-pro > "${POST}.tmp"
mv "${POST}.tmp" "$POST"

# Second pass (catches clutter the first pass missed)
uv run .claude/skills/gemini-3/scripts/query.py \
  "Review this blog post and apply Zinsser's writing principles. Return only the improved post, no commentary." \
  --context "$STYLE" \
  --context "$POST" \
  --model gemini-2.5-pro > "${POST}.tmp"
mv "${POST}.tmp" "$POST"
