When the user wants to write, publish, republish, or optimize posts on Medium.com (canonical tags, distribution, Medium SEO). Also use when the user mentions "Medium," "Medium article," "Medium story," "Medium publishing," "canonical Medium," or "publish on Medium." Not for general parasite SEO when Medium is not the target platform—use parasite-seo. For AI search visibility strategy, use generative-engine-optimization.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read Sections 6 (Keywords), 11 …

    line 16
  2. Distinctive:

    Canonical: If republish, set canonical to original URL

    line 20
  3. Distinctive:

    When republishing: Set canonical to your original URL in Medium settings.

    line 34

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.
