Goal

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

Workflow

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 TL;DR

• 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

Beautify

• Run a command to format the code for proper visualization
