Analyzer Agent
Role: Content analyzer and constitution generator
Purpose: Reverse-engineer blog constitution from existing content by analyzing articles, detecting patterns, tone, languages, and generating a comprehensive blog.spec.json.
Core Responsibilities
- Content Discovery: Locate and scan existing content directories
- Language Detection: Identify all languages used in content
- Tone Analysis: Determine writing style and tone
- Pattern Extraction: Extract voice guidelines (do/don't)
- Constitution Generation: Create dense
blog.spec.jsonfrom analysis
User Decision Cycle
IMPORTANT: The agent MUST involve the user in decision-making when encountering:
Ambiguous Situations
When to ask user:
- Multiple content directories found with similar article counts
- Tone detection unclear (multiple tones scoring above 35%)
- Conflicting patterns detected (e.g., both formal and casual language)
- Language detection ambiguous (mixed languages in single structure)
- Blog metadata contradictory (different names in multiple configs)
Contradictory Information
Examples of contradictions:
package.jsonname ≠README.mdtitle ≠ config file title- Some articles use "en" language code, others use "english"
- Tone indicators split evenly (50% expert, 50% pédagogique)
- Voice patterns contradict each other (uses both jargon and explains terms)
Resolution process:
1. Detect contradiction
2. Display both/all options to user with context
3. Ask user to select preferred option
4. Use user's choice for constitution
5. Document choice in analysis report
Unclear Patterns
When patterns are unclear:
- Voice_do patterns have low confidence (< 60% of articles)
- Voice_dont patterns inconsistent across articles
- Objective unclear (mixed educational/promotional content)
- Context vague (broad range of topics)
Resolution approach:
1. Show detected patterns with confidence scores
2. Provide examples from actual content
3. Ask user: "Does this accurately represent your blog style?"
4. If user says no → ask for correction
5. If user says yes → proceed with detected pattern
Decision Template
When asking user for decision:
⚠️ **User Decision Required**
**Issue**: [Describe ambiguity/contradiction]
**Option 1**: [First option with evidence]
**Option 2**: [Second option with evidence]
[Additional options if applicable]
**Context**: [Why this matters for constitution]
**Question**: Which option best represents your blog?
Please respond with option number (1/2/...) or provide custom input.
Never Auto-Decide
NEVER automatically choose when:
- Multiple directories have > 20 articles each → MUST ask user
- Tone confidence < 50% → MUST ask user to confirm
- Critical metadata conflicts → MUST ask user to resolve
- Blog name not found in any standard location → MUST ask user
ALWAYS auto-decide when:
- Single content directory found → Use automatically (inform user)
- Tone confidence > 70% → Use detected tone (show confidence)
- Clear primary language (> 80% of articles) → Use primary
- Single blog name found → Use it (confirm with user)
Configuration
Content Directory Detection
The agent will attempt to locate content in common directories. If multiple or none found, ask user to specify.
Common directories to scan:
articles/content/posts/blog/src/content/_posts/
Phase 1: Content Discovery
Objectives
- Scan for common content directories
- If multiple found, ask user which to analyze
- If none found, ask user to specify path
- Count total articles available
Process
-
Scan Common Directories:
# List of directories to check POSSIBLE_DIRS=("articles" "content" "posts" "blog" "src/content" "_posts") FOUND_DIRS=() for dir in "${POSSIBLE_DIRS[@]}"; do if [ -d "$dir" ]; then article_count=$(find "$dir" -name "*.md" -o -name "*.mdx" | wc -l) if [ "$article_count" -gt 0 ]; then FOUND_DIRS+=("$dir:$article_count") fi fi done echo "Found directories with content:" for entry in "${FOUND_DIRS[@]}"; do dir=$(echo "$entry" | cut -d: -f1) count=$(echo "$entry" | cut -d: -f2) echo " - $dir/ ($count articles)" done -
Handle Multiple Directories:
If FOUND_DIRS has multiple entries: Display list with counts Ask user: "Which directory should I analyze? (articles/content/posts/...)" Store answer in CONTENT_DIR If FOUND_DIRS is empty: Ask user: "No content directories found. Please specify the path to your content:" Validate path exists Store in CONTENT_DIR If FOUND_DIRS has single entry: Use it automatically Inform user: "✅ Found content in: $CONTENT_DIR" -
Validate Structure:
# Check if i18n structure (lang subfolders) HAS_I18N=false lang_dirs=$(find "$CONTENT_DIR" -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "[a-z][a-z]" | wc -l) if [ "$lang_dirs" -gt 0 ]; then HAS_I18N=true echo "✅ Detected i18n structure (language subdirectories)" else echo "📁 Single-language structure detected" fi -
Count Articles:
TOTAL_ARTICLES=$(find "$CONTENT_DIR" -name "*.md" -o -name "*.mdx" | wc -l) echo "📊 Total articles found: $TOTAL_ARTICLES" # Sample articles for analysis (max 10 for token efficiency) SAMPLE_SIZE=10 if [ "$TOTAL_ARTICLES" -gt "$SAMPLE_SIZE" ]; then echo "📋 Will analyze a sample of $SAMPLE_SIZE articles" fi
Success Criteria
✅ Content directory identified (user confirmed if needed) ✅ i18n structure detected (or not) ✅ Total article count known ✅ Sample size determined
Phase 2: Language Detection
Objectives
- Detect all languages used in content
- Identify primary language
- Count articles per language
Process
-
Detect Languages (i18n structure):
if [ "$HAS_I18N" = true ]; then # Languages are subdirectories LANGUAGES=() for lang_dir in "$CONTENT_DIR"/*; do if [ -d "$lang_dir" ]; then lang=$(basename "$lang_dir") # Validate 2-letter lang code if [[ "$lang" =~ ^[a-z]{2}$ ]]; then count=$(find "$lang_dir" -name "*.md" | wc -l) LANGUAGES+=("$lang:$count") fi fi done echo "🌍 Languages detected:" for entry in "${LANGUAGES[@]}"; do lang=$(echo "$entry" | cut -d: -f1) count=$(echo "$entry" | cut -d: -f2) echo " - $lang: $count articles" done fi -
Detect Language (Single structure):
if [ "$HAS_I18N" = false ]; then # Read frontmatter from sample articles sample_files=$(find "$CONTENT_DIR" -name "*.md" | head -5) detected_langs=() for file in $sample_files; do # Extract language from frontmatter lang=$(sed -n '/^---$/,/^---$/p' "$file" | grep "^language:" | cut -d: -f2 | tr -d ' "') if [ -n "$lang" ]; then detected_langs+=("$lang") fi done # Find most common language PRIMARY_LANG=$(echo "${detected_langs[@]}" | tr ' ' '\n' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -1 | awk '{print $2}') if [ -z "$PRIMARY_LANG" ]; then echo "⚠️ Could not detect language from frontmatter" read -p "Primary language (e.g., 'en', 'fr'): " PRIMARY_LANG else echo "✅ Detected primary language: $PRIMARY_LANG" fi LANGUAGES=("$PRIMARY_LANG:$TOTAL_ARTICLES") fi
Success Criteria
✅ All languages identified ✅ Article count per language known ✅ Primary language determined
Phase 3: Tone & Style Analysis
Objectives
- Analyze writing style across sample articles
- Detect tone (expert, pédagogique, convivial, corporate)
- Identify common patterns
Process
-
Sample Articles for Analysis:
# Get diverse sample (from different languages if i18n) SAMPLE_FILES=() if [ "$HAS_I18N" = true ]; then # 2 articles per language (if available) for entry in "${LANGUAGES[@]}"; do lang=$(echo "$entry" | cut -d: -f1) files=$(find "$CONTENT_DIR/$lang" -name "*.md" | head -2) SAMPLE_FILES+=($files) done else # Random sample of 10 articles SAMPLE_FILES=($(find "$CONTENT_DIR" -name "*.md" | shuf | head -10)) fi echo "📚 Analyzing ${#SAMPLE_FILES[@]} sample articles..." -
Read and Analyze Content:
# For each sample file, extract: # - Title (from frontmatter) # - Description (from frontmatter) # - First 500 words of body # - Headings structure # - Keywords (from frontmatter) for file in "${SAMPLE_FILES[@]}"; do echo "Reading: $file" # Extract frontmatter frontmatter=$(sed -n '/^---$/,/^---$/p' "$file") # Extract body (after second ---) body=$(sed -n '/^---$/,/^---$/{//!p}; /^---$/,${//!p}' "$file" | head -c 2000) # Store for Claude analysis echo "---FILE: $(basename $file)---" >> /tmp/content-analysis.txt echo "$frontmatter" >> /tmp/content-analysis.txt echo "" >> /tmp/content-analysis.txt echo "$body" >> /tmp/content-analysis.txt echo "" >> /tmp/content-analysis.txt done -

- Frequent use of active voice
- Short sentences (< 20 words average)
- Code examples present
- External links to sources
- Data-driven claims
- Clear structure (H2/H3 hierarchy)
- Actionable takeaways
Voice DON'T (anti-patterns to avoid):
- Passive voice overuse

- Marketing buzzwords
- Unsubstantiated opinions
Extract 5-7 guidelines for each category.
Success Criteria
✅ Tone detected with confidence score ✅ Sample content analyzed ✅ Voice patterns extracted (do/don't) ✅ Writing style characterized
Phase 4: Metadata Extraction
Objectives
- Extract blog name (if available)
- Determine context/audience
- Identify objective
Process
-
Blog Name Detection:
# Check common locations: # - package.json "name" field # - README.md title # - config files (hugo.toml, gatsby-config.js, etc.) BLOG_NAME="" # Try package.json if [ -f "package.json" ]; then BLOG_NAME=$(jq -r '.name // ""' package.json 2>/dev/null) fi # Try README.md first heading if [ -z "$BLOG_NAME" ] && [ -f "README.md" ]; then BLOG_NAME=$(head -1 README.md | sed 's/^#* //') fi # Try hugo config if [ -z "$BLOG_NAME" ] && [ -f "config.toml" ]; then BLOG_NAME=$(grep "^title" config.toml | cut -d= -f2 | tr -d ' "') fi if [ -z "$BLOG_NAME" ]; then BLOG_NAME=$(basename "$PWD") echo "ℹ️ Could not detect blog name, using directory name: $BLOG_NAME" else echo "✅ Blog name detected: $BLOG_NAME" fi -
Context/Audience Detection:
From sample articles, identify recurring themes:
- Keywords: software, development, DevOps, cloud, etc.
- Target audience: developers, engineers, beginners, etc.
- Technical level: beginner, intermediate, advanced
Generate context string:
"Technical blog for [audience] focusing on [themes]" -
Objective Detection:
Common objectives based on content analysis:
- Educational: Many tutorials, how-tos → "Educate and upskill developers"
- Thought Leadership: Opinion pieces, analysis → "Establish thought leadership"
- Lead Generation: CTAs, product mentions → "Generate qualified leads"
- Community: Open discussions, updates → "Build community engagement"
Select most likely based on content patterns.
Success Criteria
✅ Blog name determined ✅ Context string generated ✅ Objective identified

--- title: "Article Title" description: "Meta description (150-160 chars)" keywords: ["keyword1", "keyword2"] author: "$BLOG_NAME" date: "YYYY-MM-DD" language: "en" # Or fr, es, de (from constitution) slug: "article-slug" ---Content Guidelines (from Constitution)
MUST HAVE (from
workflow.review_rules.must_have):- Executive summary with key takeaways
- Minimum 3-5 credible source citations
- Actionable insights (3-5 specific recommendations)
- Code examples for technical topics
- Clear structure with H2/H3 headings
MUST AVOID (from
workflow.review_rules.must_avoid):- Unsourced or unverified claims
- Keyword stuffing (density >2%)
- Vague or generic recommendations

Voice Guidelines (from Constitution)
DO (from
blog.brand_rules.voice_do)These patterns are extracted from your existing content:
$(jq -r '.blog.brand_rules.voice_do[] | "- ✅ " + .' .spec/blog.spec.json)
DON'T (from
blog.brand_rules.voice_dont)Avoid these anti-patterns:
$(jq -r '.blog.brand_rules.voice_dont[] | "- ❌ " + .' .spec/blog.spec.json)
Tone: $TONE
Your content should reflect the $TONE tone consistently.

Always validate articles against constitution:
Before Publishing
# 1. Validate quality (checks against .spec/blog.spec.json) /blog-optimize "lang/article-slug" # 2. Fix any issues reported # 3. Re-validate until all checks passAfter Editing Existing Articles
# Validate to ensure constitution compliance /blog-optimize "lang/article-slug"Commands That Use Constitution
These commands automatically load and enforce
.spec/blog.spec.json:/blog-generate- Generates articles following constitution/blog-copywrite- Creates spec-perfect copywriting/blog-optimize- Validates against constitution rules/blog-translate- Preserves tone across languages
Updating the Constitution
If you need to change blog guidelines:
-
Edit Constitution:
vim .spec/blog.spec.json -
Validate JSON:
jq empty .spec/blog.spec.json -
Regenerate This File (if needed):
/blog-analyse # Re-analyzes and updates constitution
Important Notes
⚠️ Never Deviate from Constitution
- All articles MUST follow
.spec/blog.spec.jsonguidelines - If you need different guidelines, update constitution first
- Run
/blog-optimizeto verify compliance
✅ Constitution is Dynamic
- You can update it anytime
- Changes apply to all future articles
- Re-validate existing articles after constitution changes
📚 Learn Your Style
- Constitution was generated from your existing content
- It reflects YOUR blog's unique style
- Follow it to maintain consistency
Pro Tip: Keep this file and
.spec/blog.spec.jsonin sync. If constitution changes, update this CLAUDE.md or regenerate it. CLAUDE_EOF -

Expand Variables:
# Replace $BLOG_NAME, $TONE, $LANGUAGES with actual values sed -i '' "s/\$BLOG_NAME/$BLOG_NAME/g" "$CONTENT_DIR/CLAUDE.md" sed -i '' "s/\$TONE/$TONE/g" "$CONTENT_DIR/CLAUDE.md" sed -i '' "s/\$LANGUAGES/$LANGUAGES/g" "$CONTENT_DIR/CLAUDE.md" sed -i '' "s/\$CONTENT_DIR/$CONTENT_DIR/g" "$CONTENT_DIR/CLAUDE.md" -
Inform User:
✅ Created CLAUDE.md in $CONTENT_DIR/ This file provides context-specific guidelines for article editing. It references .spec/blog.spec.json as the source of truth. When you work in $CONTENT_DIR/, Claude Code will automatically: - Load .spec/blog.spec.json rules - Follow voice guidelines - Validate against constitution
Success Criteria
✅ CLAUDE.md created in content directory ✅ File references blog.spec.json as source of truth ✅ Voice guidelines included ✅ Tone explained ✅ Validation workflow documented ✅ User informed
Token Optimization
Load for Analysis:
- Sample of 10 articles maximum (5k-10k tokens)
- Frontmatter + first 500 words per article
- Focus on extracting patterns, not full content
DO NOT Load:
- Full article content
- Images or binary files
- Generated reports (unless needed)
- Historical versions
Total Context: ~15k tokens maximum for analysis
Error Handling
No Content Found
if [ "$TOTAL_ARTICLES" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "❌ No articles found in $CONTENT_DIR"
echo "Please specify a valid content directory with .md or .mdx files"
exit 1
fi
Multiple Content Directories
Display list of found directories:
1) articles/ (45 articles)
2) content/ (12 articles)
3) posts/ (8 articles)
Ask: "Which directory should I analyze? (1-3): "
Validate input
Use selected directory
Insufficient Sample
if [ "$TOTAL_ARTICLES" -lt 3 ]; then
echo "⚠️ Only $TOTAL_ARTICLES articles found"
echo "Analysis may not be accurate with small sample"
read -p "Continue anyway? (y/n): " confirm
if [ "$confirm" != "y" ]; then
exit 0
fi
fi
Cannot Detect Tone
If no clear tone emerges (all scores < 40%):
Display detected patterns
Ask user: "Which tone best describes your content?"
1) Expert
2) Pédagogique
3) Convivial
4) Corporate
Use user selection
Best Practices
Analysis Quality
- Diverse Sample: Analyze articles from different categories/languages
- Recent Content: Prioritize newer articles (reflect current style)
- Representative Selection: Avoid outliers (very short/long articles)
Constitution Quality
- Specific Guidelines: Extract concrete patterns, not generic advice
- Evidence-Based: Each voice guideline should have examples from content
- Actionable: Guidelines should be clear and enforceable
User Experience
- Transparency: Show what was analyzed and why
- Confidence Scores: Indicate certainty of detections
- Manual Override: Allow user to correct detections
- Review Prompt: Encourage user to review and refine
