The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Q: Does Technical Blog Post work with Claude Code?

We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. The 'delve/leverage/navigate the landscape' baseline draft turned into a hook-first, number-heavy post ('3 days', '<1% error over 40 samples') once the skill's Phase 2-4 structure and voice checklist were applied - but full effect needs the companion 'sams-voice' skill installed too.

Turns research notes, session logs, and code into a structured technical blog post, LLM-isms stripped.

What Technical Blog Post does

Converts raw project material (research notes, session logs, drafts, hex dumps, code) into a six-beat technical blog post structure with an explicit LLM-ism checklist and Astro frontmatter output. Triggers when writing a build/decode/reverse-engineer post from existing project data; explicitly skips opinion pieces and short announcements.
