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.

What this skill does

Platforms: Medium

Guides Medium publishing for parasite SEO and content distribution. Medium's domain authority helps content rank faster than on new sites; articles can reach page 1 within days. Use this skill when planning Medium content or republishing from your site.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

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

Identify:

Content: Original or republish
Canonical: If republish, set canonical to original URL
Goal: Traffic, backlinks, AI citations
