Medium SEO Publisher

Turn a topic into an evidence-backed Medium article and a measurable publishing experiment. Default to preparing a reviewable package. Publishing requires an explicit request in the current task; creating or invoking this skill does not grant that permission.

Agent compatibility

These are portable Markdown instructions. Use the current host's tools for files, search, browser interaction, and scheduling; no particular agent API, filesystem root, or slash-command syntax is required. The optional agents/openai.yaml file only supplies UI metadata for hosts that understand it; other hosts may ignore it.

On hosts without skill discovery, the user can provide SKILL.md and its relative reference files directly. Resolve references relative to this package. If a required tool is absent, complete the supported work and state the precise remaining limitation. Text-only agents can prepare from supplied evidence; live research requires search/data access, and publishing requires an authenticated browser tool. Do not claim every host has been tested.

Quick preflight

Reuse session context. Check only what affects the next action; keep routine checks out of the conversation.

• Establish the topic or existing article, audience, market/language, and primary outcome. Distinguish engaged reads, followers, signups, and revenue. Ask only about material gaps. Preserve any existing access/paywall preference.
• Inspect available tools for keyword data and browser access. Prefer connected bulk research tools; supplied exports and logged-in provider UIs are valid fallbacks. Installing a skill does not connect its MCP server. Do not install services, buy credits, or assume paid API access from a website login.
• Locate an available Humanizer through the host's skill catalog or configured skill directories. Inspect its metadata and instructions, without scanning unrelated personal files. Use declared version plus capabilities; matching an upstream version alone is insufficient. Read editorial.md and load missing guidance before a single integrated rewrite. No automatic download or replacement.
• Check Medium account identity only for requested editor work. Before publication, verify the actual destination and current publish settings.
