FLOW Framework for Bloggers (Find, Optimize, Win)
Runs FLOW Find/Optimize/Win prompts for a blog topic or URL, turning query data,
source notes, and page evidence into structured decisions instead of improvised
prompts.
Framework and prompts (c) Daniel Agrici, CC BY 4.0. Source: github.com/AgriciDaniel/flow
FLOW is an evidence led operating model for retrieval, citation, and conversion
workflows. Claude Blog integrates the FLOW prompt library so writers can turn
query data, source notes, and page evidence into structured decisions instead of
improvised prompts.
This skill exposes the three blog relevant stages (Find, Optimize, Win) and keeps
the single Leverage prompt available through the prompts index. The local SEO
prompts (GBP, citations, local audits) are intentionally excluded because they
target brick and mortar work, not blogs.
Runtime context. Load references/flow framework.md on every /blog flow
activation. Load prompt files on demand only, scoped to the stage the user
requests.
Commands
Command What it does
/blog flow Show FLOW overview and stage menu
/blog flow find [topic\ url] Find stage: keyword discovery, intent mapping, gap analysis (5 prompts)
/blog flow optimize [url] Optimize stage: select 2 to 3 most relevant prompts of 21 based on context
/blog flow win [url] Win stage: BOFU, conversion, dual surface scorecard (3 prompts)
/blog flow prompts Full index of all 30 blog applicable prompts (Find, Leverage, Optimize, Win)
/blog flow sync Pull latest prompt files from github.com/AgriciDaniel/flow
The single Leverage prompt (off site authority) is reachable through
/blog flow prompts and is not promoted to a top level command, since most
blog workflows route off site work elsewhere.
Orchestration Logic
On /blog flow (no sub command)
1. Read references/flow framework.md .
2. Show the FLOW stage overview with a one line description of each stage.
3. Ask the user which stage matches their current situation.
On /blog flow find [topic url]
1. Read all files in references/prompts/find/ .
2. Apply each prompt to the topic or URL, capturing demand and intent signals.
3. Cross reference: "For deeper briefs and outlines, see /blog brief <topic ,
/blog outline <topic , and /blog cannibalization to detect overlap with
existing posts."
On /blog flow optimize [url]
1. Read the file names in references/prompts/optimize/ .
2. Read prior context (target URL, niche, any prior skill output in this
conversation, scoring deltas from /blog analyze ).
3. Select 2 to 3 most relevant prompts, then load only those files.
4. Apply the selected prompts; note that the rest are accessible via
/blog flow prompts .
5. Cross reference: "For deeper rewrites and validation, see /blog rewrite
<file , /blog seo check <file , /blog geo <file , /blog schema <file ,
and /blog factcheck <file ."
On /blog flow win [url]
1. Read all files in references/prompts/win/ .
2. Apply each prompt to the URL's conversion and BOFU context.
3. Cross reference: "For repurposing, full site health, and quality scoring,
see /blog repurpose <file , /blog audit , and /blog analyze <file ."
On /blog flow prompts
1. Read references/prompts/README.md .
2. Display the full index: 30 prompts grouped by stage (Find, Leverage,
Optimize, Win) with name and trigger conditions.
3. State that local SEO prompts are excluded by design; point users to
claude seo ( /seo flow local ) if they need them.
On /blog flow sync
1. Run: python3 scripts/sync flow.py .
2. Display the JSON summary (files added, updated, unchanged).
3. Show the attribution notice after the sync completes.
Context Matching (Optimize stage)
The optimize stage has 21 prompts. Dumping all 21 is noise. Select by priority:
1. Niche (SaaS or B2B blog leans on page plus technical; lifestyle leans
freshness plus E E A T; publisher leans authority plus citations).
2. Prior skill output ( /blog analyze E E A T gap routes to authority
prompts; /blog seo check failures route to on page prompts; /blog geo
gaps route to extraction format prompts).
3. URL signals (commercial pages need conversion prompts; informational
posts need freshness plus answer first prompts).
Always surface exactly 2 to 3 prompts. State which prompts you chose and why.
Reference Files
Load on demand. Do NOT load all at startup.
references/flow framework.md . FLOW operating model. Load on every /blog
flow activation.
references/bibliography.md . Evidence sources. Load when citing studies or
statistics.
references/prompts/README.md . Prompt index. Load for /blog flow prompts .
references/prompts/find/ . 5 prompts. Load for /blog flow find .
references/prompts/leverage/ . 1 prompt. Load only when surfaced through
/blog flow prompts .
references/prompts/optimize/ . 21 prompts. Load selectively for /blog flow
optimize .
references/prompts/win/ . 3 prompts. Load for /blog flow win .
If references/ is missing, instruct the user to run /blog flow sync first.
Sync Script
scripts/sync flow.py pulls prompt files from github.com/AgriciDaniel/flow and
writes them under skills/blog flow/references/ . Stdlib only, HTTPS only,
host allowlisted to api.github.com , 5 MB response cap, atomic writes,
path traversal guarded.
Modes:
python3 scripts/sync flow.py . Sync the latest version of every blog relevant
stage to disk and refresh the lockfile.
python3 scripts/sync flow.py dry run . Report planned changes without
writing.
python3 scripts/sync flow.py ref <sha . Pin fetches to a specific FLOW
commit SHA for reproducible installs.
The lockfile lives at
skills/blog flow/references/flow prompts.lock and uses sha256sum compatible
format. Drift between the on disk content and the lockfile is reported on every
sync run.
The script syncs only blog applicable stages ( find , leverage , optimize ,
win ). The local stage is intentionally skipped to keep the references
directory aligned with the skill's surface area.
GitHub API calls are anonymous by default. If GITHUB TOKEN is set in the
environment, or gh auth token returns a token after a 403 response, the
script retries the request with that token. No tokens are written to disk.
Attribution
Every /blog flow activation (any sub command) outputs before analysis:
Do not omit or modify the attribution. Synced files also carry an HTML comment
license header injected by the sync script.
Error Handling
Scenario Action
references/flow framework.md missing "FLOW reference files not synced. Run: /blog flow sync ."
Prompt file missing "Run /blog flow sync to pull the latest prompts from the FLOW repo."
sync flow.py network error Display the script's stderr. Check rate limits with gh api rate limit if gh is installed.
sync flow.py 403 after retry Set GITHUB TOKEN or run gh auth login , then retry.
Path traversal abort The sync target tried to escape the references directory. Inspect the upstream repo and pin to a known good ref .
