+name: add-post-skill
+description: Create a new Jekyll blog post in _posts/ using the site's filename convention, required front matter, and a starter content shell.
+---
+
+# Add Post Skill
+
+## When to use
+Use this skill when asked to create, initialize, scaffold, or draft a new blog post for this site.
+
+## Goal
+Create a new Markdown file in `_posts/` that matches this repository's Jekyll conventions.
+
+## Inputs
+- title (required)
+- description (optional)
+- date (optional, YYYY-MM-DD)
+- draft flag (optional)
+
+## Implementation
+Use the helper script:
+
+```
+scripts/new-post.sh "<title>" "<description>" "<date>"
+```
+
+## Behavior
+- Slugify title (lowercase, hyphenated)
+- Use provided date or default to current date
+- If draft flag is set, create file in `_drafts/slug.md`
+- Otherwise create `_posts/YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md`
+- Validate slug is non-empty
+- Quote YAML values safely
+- Do not overwrite existing files
+
+## Template
+
+---
+layout: post
+title: "<TITLE>"
+date: <YYYY-MM-DD>
+description: "<OPTIONAL>"
+---
+
+Write your introduction here.
+
+## Key points
+
+- 
+- 
+- 
+
+## Details
+
+## Closing
+
+## Notes
+- Permalinks handled by `_config.yml`
+- Script available: `scripts/new-post.sh`
