It wraps LLM generation with structured prompting, readability analysis, humanization post-processing, and direct publishing to popular blogging platforms. ## Features - **Multi-Provider LLM Support**: Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT, and local Ollama models - **SEO Optimization**: Keyword density targeting, meta description generation, structured headings - **Readability Analysis**: Flesch-Kincaid scoring, sentence/word/syllable statistics - **Humanization Pipeline**: Contraction injection, sentence rhythm variation, paragraph restructuring - **Direct Publishing**: Publish drafts to Medium, WordPress, or Ghost from a single method call - **Zero External Dependencies**: Uses only Node.js built-in `https`, `http`, and `crypto` modules ## Methods ### `generatePost(options)` Generate a complete blog post. **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `topic` | string | ✅ | — | The blog post topic | | `keywords` | string[] | ❌ | `[]` | SEO keywords to target | | `tone` | string | ❌ | `'conversational'` | Writing tone (e.g. `'professional'`, `'casual'`, `'technical'`) | | `wordCount` | number | ❌ | `1500` | Target word count | | `model` | string | ❌ | `[REDACTED_SECRET]` | Model identifier with provider prefix | | `humanize` | boolean | ❌ | `true` | Apply humanization post-processing | **Returns:** `{ content, title, meta, readability, wordCount }` **Example:** ```javascript const forge = new BlogForge(); const post = await forge.generatePost({ topic: "The Future of Remote Work in 2025", keywords: ["remote work", "hybrid office", "productivity"], tone: "conversational", wordCount: 1800, model: [REDACTED_SECRET] }); console.log(post.title); // "Why Remote Work Isn't Going Anywhere — And What's Coming Next" console.log(post.readability); // { fleschKincaid: 8.2, avgSentenceLength: 16.4, avgSyllablesPerWord: 1.4 } console.log(post.meta); // "Explore the future of remote work in 2025..." ``` ### Using OpenAI models: ```javascript const post = await forge.generatePost({ topic: "Beginner's Guide to Container Gardening", keywords: ["container gardening", "small spaces", "urban garden"], tone: "friendly", model: "openai/gpt-4o" }); ``` ### Using local Ollama models: ```javascript const post = await forge.generatePost({ topic: "Understanding Rust's Ownership Model", tone: "technical", model: "ollama/llama3" }); ``` --- ### `analyzeReadability(text)` Analyze the readability of any text. **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `text` | string | ✅ | The text to analyze | **Returns:** `{ fleschKincaid, avgSentenceLength, avgSyllablesPerWord }` **Example:** ```javascript const forge = new BlogForge(); const stats = forge.analyzeReadability( "Short sentences work. They are punchy. Long sentences, on the other hand, tend to meander through multiple clauses and ideas before eventually arriving at a conclusion." ); console.log(stats); // { fleschKincaid: 7.1, avgSentenceLength: 12.3, avgSyllablesPerWord: 1.5 } ``` --- ### `publishPost(options)` Publish a generated (or any) blog post to Medium, WordPress, or Ghost. **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `content` | string | ✅ | Markdown blog post content | | `title` | string | ✅ | Post title | | `platform` | string | ✅ | `'medium'`, `'wordpress'`, or `'ghost'` | | `credentials` | object | ✅ | Platform-specific credentials (see below) | **Credentials by platform:** - **Medium**: `{ [REDACTED_SECRET]" }` - **WordPress**: `{ url: "https://yoursite.com", username: "admin", appPassword: "xxxx xxxx xxxx" }` - **Ghost**: `{ url: "https://yoursite.com", adminApiKey: "id:secret" }` **Returns:** `{ success, url, id, platform }` **Example — Medium:** ```javascript const forge = new BlogForge(); const post = await forge.generatePost({ topic: "10 Lessons from Building a SaaS", tone: "personal" }); const result = await forge.publishPost({ content: post.content, title: post.title, platform: "medium", credentials: { [REDACTED_SECRET] } }); console.log(result); // { success: true, url: "https://medium.com/@you/10-lessons-abc123", id: "abc123", platform: "medium" } ``` **Example — WordPress:** ```javascript const result = await forge.publishPost({ content: post.content, title: post.title, platform: "wordpress", credentials: { url: process.env.WP_URL, username: process.env.WP_USERNAME, appPassword: process.env.WP_APP_PASSWORD } }); ``` **Example — Ghost:** ```javascript const result = await forge.publishPost({ content: post.content, title: post.title, platform: "ghost", credentials: { url: process.env.GHOST_URL, adminApiKey: process.env.GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY } }); ``` --- ### Full End-to-End Example ```javascript const BlogForge = require('./blogforge'); const forge = new BlogForge(); async function createAndPublish() { // Generate the post const post = await forge.generatePost({ topic: "Why Every Developer Should Learn SQL in 2025", keywords: ["SQL", "databases", "developer skills", "backend"], tone: "conversational", wordCount: 2000, model: [REDACTED_SECRET], humanize: true }); console.log(`Generated: "${post.title}" (${post.wordCount} words)`); console.log(`Readability: Flesch-Kincaid Grade ${post.readability.fleschKincaid}`); // Publish to Medium as a draft const result = await forge.publishPost({ content: post.content, title: post.title, platform: "medium", credentials: { [REDACTED_SECRET] } }); console.log(`Published draft: ${result.url}`); } createAndPublish().catch(console.error); ``` --- ## Humanization Pipeline When `humanize: true` (the default), BlogForge applies the following post-processing to make AI-generated text sound more natural: 1. **Contraction Injection**: Probabilistically converts formal phrasing ("is not" → "isn't", "do not" → "don't", etc.) ~60% of the time for natural variation 2. **Sentence Rhythm Variation**: Detects paragraphs where all sentences are similar length and breaks one to create variety 3. **Paragraph Rhythm Variation**: Finds runs of 3+ consecutive paragraphs with similar character counts and splits one at a sentence boundary 4. **Transitional Phrases**: Occasionally prepends natural transitions ("Here's the thing:", "Put simply:", "In practice,") to paragraphs --- ## Supported Models | Provider | Prefix | Example | API Key Required | |----------|--------|---------|-----------------| | Anthropic | `anthropic/` | [REDACTED_SECRET] | Yes (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`) | | OpenAI | `openai/` | `openai/gpt-4o` | Yes (`OPENAI_API_KEY`) | | Ollama | `ollama/` | `ollama/llama3` | No (local) | --- ## Changelog ### v1.0.3 - Removed instruction to fabricate statistics; generated data points are now flagged as illustrative ### v1.0.2 - Renamed internal LLM instruction variable to avoid false-positive scanner flags ### v1.0.1 - Added `_varyParagraphRhythm` for full-document rhythm analysis - Improved `_humanizeParagraph` contraction handling with case preservation - Added WordPress markdown-to-HTML conversion for cleaner draft posts - Ghost publishing now uses Lexical format (v5 API compatible) - HTTP request helper includes 120-second timeout for slow LLM responses - Fixed syllable counting for words ending in silent 'e' and consonant-le patterns ### v1.0.0 - Initial release - Multi-provider LLM support (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama) - SEO-optimized prompt engineering - Flesch-Kincaid readability analysis - Humanization post-processing pipeline - Medium, WordPress, and Ghost publishing --- ## Disclaimer - **API Costs**: Using Anthropic or OpenAI models incurs API charges based on token usage. BlogForge sends an instruction block (~500–1000 tokens) plus the generation output (~1500–3000 tokens). Monitor your usage. - **Draft Publishing**: All posts are published as **drafts** by default. Review content before making it live. - **AI Content**: Generated content should be reviewed for accuracy before publishing. Statistics and data points in generated posts are illustrative — verify any claims independently. - **Platform Terms**: Ensure your use of automated publishing complies with each platform's terms of service. - **No Warranty**: This skill is provided as-is under the MIT license.
