FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a TIL blog post and save it to Notion?

Drafting a TIL post involves providing a topic and submitting it to Claude, which generates a concise post in your voice and creates a Notion page with Status set to 'Claude Draft'. The Skill produces ultra-short (50–150 words) or standard (300–500 words) formats with code examples, metadata fields, and a slug ready for publication workflow.

Can I use this Skill to match my personal writing style in blog posts?

Yes. The Skill is designed to mirror your voice and writing style by analyzing how you communicate and applying that tone to generate TIL drafts. Each draft reflects your preferred phrasing, structure, and vocabulary before it's published.

What format options are available for TIL posts?

Two formats are supported: ultra-short posts (50–150 words) for quick tips and standard posts (300–500 words) for deeper explanations. Both formats include code examples where relevant and are Markdown-friendly for seamless publishing.

How does the Notion integration work with this Skill?

The Skill uses Notion's MCP (Model Context Protocol) to create draft pages with structured metadata including Title, Destination, Description, Slug, Topics, Research, and Questions fields. Drafts are tagged with Status 'Claude Draft' and organized for your review workflow.

What happens after I create a TIL draft—how do I publish it?

After Claude generates the draft and saves it to Notion, you review the page with Status 'Claude Draft'. The metadata fields and slug are pre-populated to support your publication workflow, allowing you to move the post through your approval process and publish when ready.

Do I need to provide research or questions upfront, or does the Skill generate those?

You provide the topic and base content; the Skill generates the structured draft including research notes and questions fields within the Notion page. This setup supports your review process and helps ensure thorough coverage before publication.
