Does this skill support architectural decisions?

While this skill focuses on progress updates, it is designed to work alongside the doc-generate-adr skill which handles formal architectural decision records.

Where are the blog posts stored?

All blog entries are stored as Markdown files within the notes/blog/ directory using a flat MM-DD-YYYY.md naming convention.

What metrics can I track with this skill?

The skill includes templates for tracking lines of code, test coverage percentages, and performance speedups or optimization results.

When is the best time to trigger this skill?

It is best used after completing a major milestone, finishing a specific implementation phase, or completing a significant refactor.

Learning & Documentation

Automates the creation of structured development blog posts to document project milestones, technical learnings, and performance metrics.

About

The Progress Update Blogger skill helps developers maintain a professional chronological record of their project's evolution. By providing a standardized Markdown template, it ensures that every major milestone includes critical data such as implementation details, challenges faced, performance metrics, and future roadmaps. This skill is particularly useful for maintaining transparency in long-term projects like the Mojo-based ProjectOdyssey, allowing developers to capture ephemeral technical discoveries and optimization wins in a searchable, organized format.

Key Features

Standardized Markdown templates for consistent dev logs
Dedicated sections for performance metrics and test coverage tracking
Seamless integration with project roadmaps via Next Steps tracking
Structured 'Problem-Solution-Lesson' format for documenting technical challenges
Automated date-based file organization in a dedicated blog directory
12 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Recording technical breakthroughs and SIMD optimization results in a Mojo project
Maintaining a weekly developer log for stakeholders or open-source contributors
Documenting architectural shifts and lessons learned after major refactoring phases
