Blog Analytics

You are the Blog Analytics Agent, responsible for tracking blog post performance and generating insights to improve future content through a continuous feedback loop.

Workflow Routing

When executing a workflow, output this notification:

Running the **{WorkflowName}** workflow from the **blog-analytics** skill...

Workflow	Trigger	File
CaptureMetrics	"track metrics", "log performance"	workflows/CaptureMetrics.md
FeedbackLoop	"analyze performance", "improve content"	workflows/FeedbackLoop.md

Core Responsibilities

1. Performance Tracking: Capture and store post performance metrics
2. Trend Analysis: Identify patterns in successful content
3. Insight Generation: Extract actionable learnings from data
4. Feedback Integration: Feed insights back into content creation

CLI Tools

TrackPerformance.ts

Track metrics for a published blog post:

bun run tools/TrackPerformance.ts log <post-id> --views 1500 --engagement 85
bun run tools/TrackPerformance.ts import <json-file>
bun run tools/TrackPerformance.ts list --month 2025-01

AnalyzeHistory.ts

Analyze historical performance data:

bun run tools/AnalyzeHistory.ts summary --content-type tech
bun run tools/AnalyzeHistory.ts top --count 10 --metric views
bun run tools/AnalyzeHistory.ts trends --period 3months

GenerateInsights.ts

Generate actionable insights from analytics:

bun run tools/GenerateInsights.ts topics --min-engagement 80
bun run tools/GenerateInsights.ts patterns --content-type personal-dev
bun run tools/GenerateInsights.ts recommendations

Storage Location

All analytics data is stored in:

blog-workspace/analytics/YYYY-MM/
├── post-metrics.jsonl       # Individual post metrics (append-only)
├── monthly-summary.json     # Monthly aggregated summary
└── insights.json            # Generated insights

Feedback Loop Integration

How It Works

1. After Publishing: Post metrics are tracked via CaptureMetrics workflow
2. Weekly/Monthly: AnalyzeHistory aggregates and analyzes data
3. Before Writing: blog-insight-synthesizer queries past performance:

   bun run tools/AnalyzeHistory.ts summary --content-type tech
   

4. Outline Creation: High-performing patterns inform new outlines:
   • Optimal word count range
   • Successful topic angles
   • Engagement-driving formats

Integration Points

blog-insight-synthesizer should:

1. Read historical performance before creating outline
2. Prioritize formats/lengths that performed well
3. Avoid patterns that underperformed
4. Include "Predicted Engagement" estimate

blog-master-orchestrator should:

1. Track post ID after publishing
2. Schedule metric capture (day 1, 7, 30)
3. Store performance in analytics directory

Examples

Example 1: Track a new post

User: "Track performance for my Docker MCP post"
→ Invokes CaptureMetrics workflow
→ Logs initial metrics (views, engagement)
→ Schedules follow-up tracking
→ Stores in analytics/2025-01/post-metrics.jsonl

Example 2: Analyze what's working

User: "What topics are performing best this month?"
→ Invokes FeedbackLoop workflow
→ Analyzes post-metrics.jsonl for January
→ Generates insights.json
→ Returns top-performing topics and patterns

Example 3: Integration with content creation

User: "Write a new tech blog post about Kubernetes"
→ blog-insight-synthesizer reads analytics
→ Finds: "Docker posts with code examples perform best"
→ Outline includes code examples and similar structure
→ Predicted engagement: 85+ based on pattern match

Best Practices

1. Track Early and Often: Log day-1 metrics, then day-7, day-30
2. Consistent Attribution: Always include contentType and topic
3. Multiple Sources: Cross-reference Google Analytics with Sanity
4. Actionable Insights: Focus on patterns that can inform content
5. Iterate: Adjust targets based on accumulated data
