Write a concise, engaging, and educational "Today I Learned" (TIL) blog post about the topic / content from the user

Structure

  1. Title
  2. What I Learned
  3. Why It Matters
  4. Example / Demonstration
  5. Key Takeaways
  6. References or Further Reading
  • The post should:
    • Start with a short introduction explaining what I learned and why it caught my attention
    • Clearly explain the concept in simple language suitable for software engineers, tech enthusiasts, or curious readers
    • Include a practical example, code snippet, or real-world use case where appropriate
    • Highlight any surprising insights, common misconceptions, or lessons learned during the discovery process
    • End with key takeaways and actionable advice for readers who want to explore the topic further

Use Front Matter and TLDR

  • Add front matter as in .claude/skills/blog.rules.md ## Front Matter (YAML)
  • Add TL;DR as in .claude/skills/blog.rules.md ## TL;DR Section

Tone

  • Conversational and reflective
  • Technical but accessible
  • Curious and educational

Length

  • Keep the post between 500–1000 words and focus on clarity, practical value, and genuine learning rather than exhaustive coverage

Formatting Rules

  • Make sure to write using bullet points

  • Follow the rules in:

    • .claude/skills/blog.rules.md
    • .claude/skills/markdown.rules.md
    • .claude/skills/text.rules.md

Beautify

  • Run a command to format the code for proper visualization
    > prettier --tab-width 4 --prose-wrap always --print-width 80 -w <FILE>
