Writing Blog Skill (2026)
Use this when drafting long-form posts for token projects, investor education, or build-in-public narrative where trust and conversion both matter.
When to Use ✅
- Foundry/FNDRY thought leadership blogs
- Tokenomics explainers and investor education pieces
- Launch narrative posts (problem → mechanism → proof)
- SEO + AEO content that must be cited by AI answer engines
Core Rules
- System, not random posts: hub-and-spoke clusters only
- Answer-first: first 2–3 sentences must answer the core question
- Mechanism over hype: no shilling, explain value flow
- Trust-first: named claims, sources, dates, risk disclosure
- AI-assisted, human-authored: AI helps, humans own final judgment
