# Bear Blog Skill

Create, edit, and manage posts on [Bear Blog](https://bearblog.dev) — a minimal, fast blogging platform.

## Authentication

Bear Blog requires browser-based authentication. Log in once via the browser tool, and cookies will persist.

```
browser action:navigate url:https://bearblog.dev/accounts/login/
```

## Creating a Post

### Step 1: Navigate to the post editor

```
browser action:navigate url:https://bearblog.dev/<subdomain>/dashboard/posts/new/
```


### Step 2: Fill the editor

Bear Blog uses a **plain text header format**.

The editor fields are:
- `div#header_content` (contenteditable): attributes (one per line)
- `textarea#body_content`: Markdown body

**Verified:** use `fill`/`type` on those two fields, then click **Publish** (or **Save as draft**). No `evaluate` needed.

**Header format:**
```
title: Your Post Title
link: custom-slug
published_date: 2026-01-05 14:00
tags: tag1, tag2, tag3
make_discoverable: true
is_page: false
class_name: custom-css-class
meta_description: SEO description for the post
meta_image: https://example.com/image.jpg
lang: en
canonical_url: https://original-source.com/post
alias: alternative-url
```

**Body format:** Standard Markdown with extensions (see below).

The separator `___` (three underscores) is used in templates to separate header from body.

### Step 3: Publish

Click the publish button or submit the form with `publish: true`.
