  "account": "Publishing a technical article to multiple platforms like dev.to, AWS Builder Center, Medium, and LinkedIn can be a tedious process. The publishing-kit package automates this workflow by packaging the entire publishing lifecycle into a Claude Code skill and a set of small scripts. With just one markdown file, the skill takes care of building artifacts for each platform, creating a cover, checking facts, and posting the articles that have API support.\n\nUsing the skill, you can write an article and publish it on dev.to without any hassle. The skill generates the required cover at different geometries, traces the numbers in your article against the evidence files, and runs pre-flight checks to ensure everything is in order before posting. Once the checks pass, the skill posts the article as a draft and gives you the link to review.\n\nYou can also create Medium and AWS Builder Center versions of your article using the provided scripts. The skill handles the rendering of tables to images for Medium and the necessary adjustments to images for AWS Builder Center. It even handles specific quirks like how dev.to renders markdown, how it hosts covers, and how Medium inserts data: URI images, making the publishing process much smoother.\n\nIf anything goes wrong during the publishing process, the skill provides detailed debugging information. It allows you to fetch the actual content served by each destination and compare it with the local file, helping you identify any discrepancies. The skill is designed to be installed via the plugin marketplace or by cloning the repository and linking the skill. Once installed, you can use Claude Code to interact with the skill and perform publishing tasks seamlessly.",
  "summary": "TL;DR: publishing-kit packages the whole publishing lifecycle as a Claude Code skill. Write one markdown file, and it builds the dev.to, AWS Builder Center, Medium and LinkedIn versions, checks them, and posts the ones that have an API. This article, its cover and all four of its artifacts were produced by the thing the article is about — dogfooding all the way down. More on that at the end.…",
