Automated blog post generator for constructpermits.com/permit-blogs.

1. generate.ts (interval/cron) — Fires daily, randomly skips ~50% of days for an organic every-other-day cadence. Uses Claude to generate a blog post in Chase Morrow's voice, auto-selects relevant images (hero + 2 inline), and stores everything in blob storage.

2. api-list.ts (HTTP) — Returns paginated blog index with hero images. Supports ?limit=N&offset=N. Posts include category for tab filtering.

3. api-post.ts (HTTP) — Returns a single full blog post by slug (/slug or ?slug=slug). Includes hero image, inline images embedded in markdown, and full metadata.

4. shared/config.ts — System prompt, rotating category prompts (7-week cycle), TypeScript types.

5. shared/images.ts — Curated Unsplash image library with keyword-based matching. Auto-selects contextually relevant hero and inline images per post.

Every post includes:

• Hero image — wide banner at top of post, returned in both list and post APIs as heroImage: { url, alt }
• 2 inline images — embedded in the markdown content at logical section breaks, also returned as inlineImages[]

Images are auto-selected from a curated Unsplash library based on the post's category, tags, and Claude-provided imageHints.

• List: GET / → { posts[], total, limit, offset, hasMore }
• Post: GET /slug → full BlogPost object

To trigger a post outside the normal schedule:

import { blob } from "https://esm.town/v/std/blob";
await blob.set("blog-force-post", "1");

Then wait for the next cron tick, or manually run generate.ts.
