Here's how to fix it." # Add a CTA blog cta "Download our free remote work checklist — link in bio" # Set the tone blog tone "conversational, slightly informal, use second person (you/your)" ``` ### Review and export ```bash # Search for entries about a topic blog search "productivity" # View recent activity blog recent # Check stats across all categories blog stats # Export everything as JSON for backup blog export json # Quick health check blog status ``` ### Rewrite and translate ```bash # Log a major rewrite blog rewrite "complete overhaul of intro section — new angle focusing on data" # Track a translation blog translate "EN → ES: productivity article translated, 1800 words, reviewed by Maria" ``` ## Output All commands print confirmation to stdout. Data is persisted in `~/.local/share/blog/`. Use `blog stats` for an overview, `blog search ` to find specific entries, or `blog export ` to extract all data as JSON, CSV, or plain text. --- *Powered by BytesAgain | bytesagain.com | hello@bytesagain.com*
