Ghost Publishing Runbook — blog.vyndr.app

How to move the seed articles in content/articles/ into Ghost as drafts. Manual by design: nothing auto-posts, anywhere, ever (NORTH STAR — Kev is the publisher of everything). Claude Code has no Ghost credentials and never touches the Ghost admin; this runbook is the entire publishing pipeline.

What lives where

Source of truth: content/articles/*.md in this repo. Edit here first, then re-paste into Ghost — never edit only in Ghost, or the repo copy rots.
Each file has YAML front matter (title, slug, excerpt, tags, status: draft). The front matter is metadata for YOU to key into Ghost's fields — do not paste the front matter block into the post body.

Per-article steps (about 3 minutes each)

Open https://blog.vyndr.app/ghost/ and sign in (your credentials).
Click New post.
Title: copy the title from the front matter into the title field.
Body: in the editor type / and choose the Markdown card (or type /markdown). Paste everything BELOW the closing --- of the front matter into the card. Ghost renders the ## headings, bold, and lists.
- Do not paste into the plain editor surface — straight pasting can flatten headings depending on Ghost version. The Markdown card is exact.
Open Post settings (gear icon, top right):
- Post URL: set to the front-matter slug (e.g. what-clv-is).
- Excerpt: paste the front-matter excerpt.
- Tags: add the front-matter tags (e.g. methodology, the-read-room).
Leave the post as a draft — do NOT click Publish during seeding.
Preview in Ghost. Checklist before it ever goes live:
- Zero exclamation points (VOICE v1.1 — deadpan, no exceptions).
- No banned vocabulary: "lock", "tail", "fade" as calls to action, guarantee language, hype emoji. If it sounds like the industry, cut it.
- Every record/percentage claim obeys the product's n≥20 gate — if the live Ledger cannot back a number in the article, remove the number.
- Links point at vyndr.app/... production paths (/methodology, /ledger), not localhost or staging.

The five seed articles (in publish order)

File	Title
`how-vyndr-grades-a-prop.md`	How VYNDR Grades a Prop
`why-our-misses-are-public.md`	Why Our Misses Are Public
`what-clv-is.md`	CLV: The Only Number That Proves an Edge
`the-vyndr-originals.md`	The VYNDR Originals: 41 Archetypes and Why They Exist
`how-streaks-lie.md`	How Streaks Lie

Suggested cadence: one per week, methodology first (it is the page every other article links back to conceptually). Publishing is your call, on your schedule — this table is an ordering, not a scheduler.

Updating a published article

Edit the markdown in content/articles/ and commit.
In Ghost, open the post, delete the old Markdown card, insert a fresh one, paste the updated body. Keep the same Post URL — never change a slug after publish (dead links).

Explicitly out of scope

No Ghost Admin API integration, no automation, no scheduled posts. If that ever changes it goes through a spec in specs/ first and Kev still presses the button.
No exclamation points. Still.
