## When to use it

Use this skill to create, edit, review, pause or continue a blog. Writing requests save the article; brainstorming and critique alone return proposals in the conversation.

Articles are shared workspace documents. Saved Ideas remain reusable, with source links and the distinction between evidence and inspiration retained.

## What you need

An updated OwnPost app and plugin with article tools, a connected assistant, and a clear topic or selected article. Private article preparation is available to preparation-only connections; publication records and measurements require full access.

## Install or select the skill

The ownpost entry skill includes this workflow. Use the command above if you want ownpost-blogs as a separate shortcut, or select it from your installed plugin.

## Try it

Select the skill in your connected assistant, then adapt these examples to your own content.

```
Use the ownpost-blogs skill to turn Ideas [Idea IDs] into a blog for product builders. Save a brief and outline, write the introduction from the supplied facts, then pause with a checkpoint describing the next section.

Use the ownpost-blogs skill to continue article [article ID] from its saved checkpoint. Read the latest revision and sources first, finish the next section and save the updated next step.
```

## How it works

1. Supply the topic, audience, purpose and any selected Ideas, or identify the article to continue. The assistant reads the current article and its saved resume context before editing.

2. Build an outline where useful, then write or revise bounded sections. The assistant saves progress while preserving section identities, Markdown, source credits and media details.

3. Review the brief, structure and supported claims. Ask for proposed edits when you want to compare before applying changes.

4. Ask to pause with a checkpoint containing completed work, unresolved questions and the next step. A later chat can continue from that saved state when you explicitly request it.

5. Open Blogs to verify the saved title, text and stage. Use saved revisions for recovery, or the editions skill for platform adaptations and exports.

> External assistants use their own model; article tools do not spend the app’s configured provider credits. AI action reports can retain article findings, but their report/drafts modes do not apply article edits.

## Check the result

The article reopens in Blogs with the saved changes, stage and checkpoint. The assistant reports its real ID, paused state and next step when work remains.

## If something does not work

A paused article resumes only on request. On a revision conflict, reread and reconcile with the newer document. A URL without readable source content cannot support factual claims. Use the current server and plugin together if article tools are missing.
