blog-post-structure-pass: Reusable for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Use this skill when the user asks to restructure, reorganise, improve, rewrite, tighten, or strengthen a blog post, article, newsletter, essay, or thought-leadership draft.

Read full documentation

Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.

Blog Post Structure Pass

Use this skill to improve the structure, argument, flow, and readability of a blog post while preserving the source facts and the author's intended point of view.

Core rules

Do not invent evidence, examples, client stories, dates, results, or quotes.
Preserve the author's stance unless asked to change it.
Improve the shape of the argument before polishing sentences.
Keep the revised post suitable for the intended audience and channel.
If important evidence is missing, mark it as a gap rather than filling it in.

Default post skeleton

Use this skeleton as a guide, not a rigid template:

Hook / tension - Why this matters now.
Problem - What people usually misunderstand or struggle with.
Reframe - The more useful way to think about it.
Practical implications - What changes in decisions, behaviour, governance, delivery, or operations.
Example or proof - Evidence from supplied material.
Takeaway - What the reader should do, question, or remember.

Workflow

Read the source post or draft.
Identify the current thesis and intended audience.
Diagnose structural issues: weak opening, unclear argument, repetition, missing transitions, unsupported claims, premature solutioning, or weak ending.
Create a revised outline.
Rewrite the post into the improved structure.
Preserve factual claims from the source and avoid adding unsupported material.
Provide a short change note only if useful.

The revised post has a clear thesis.
The opening creates relevance quickly.
The middle develops the argument rather than listing points.
The ending lands the insight or next action.
No unsupported facts have been added.
The copy sounds natural and human.

Install targets

Codex install prompt

Install the "blog-post-structure-pass" agent skill from https://github.com/microsoft/cat-agent-skills/tree/main/submissions/blog-post-structure-pass. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Use this skill when the user asks to restructure, reorganise, improve, rewrite, tighten, or strengthen a blog post, article, newsletter, essay, or thought-leadership draft. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"microsoft-blog-post-structure-pass","task":"Install blog-post-structure-pass","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: submissions/blog-post-structure-pass/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 50f5d848ed68f2c8ffcf95f94e47c0a0370b819d. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
