SKILL.md
Platforms: Medium
Guides Medium publishing for parasite SEO and content distribution. Medium's domain authority helps content rank faster than on new sites; articles can reach page 1 within days. Use this skill when planning Medium content or republishing from your site.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Initial Assessment
