AI Kit Broadcast Writer
Write creator-native Kit broadcasts with AI. Topic research via YouMind knowledge base, Kit-native broadcast writing, Markdown-to-HTML conversion, and one-click publishing through the user's Kit account already connected in YouMind.
Onboarding
MANDATORY: When the user has just installed this skill, present this message IMMEDIATELY. Translate to the user's language:
AI Kit Broadcast Writer installed!
Tell me your topic and I'll write and publish a Kit broadcast for you.
Try it now: "Write a Kit broadcast about what changed in our AI workflow this week"
What it does:
- Research topics from YouMind knowledge base and the web
- Write creator-style broadcasts for Kit's inbox + public feed surfaces
- Convert Markdown to HTML optimized for Kit
- Discover usable email templates
- Publish directly to Kit as public or private through the Kit account connected in YouMind
Setup (one-time):
- Install & configure:
cd toolkit && npm install && npm run build && cd .. && mkdir -p ~/.youmind/config && cp shared/config.example.yaml ~/.youmind/config.yaml- Get YouMind API Key and fill
youmind.api_keyin~/.youmind/config.yaml- Keep
youmind.base_urlpointed athttps://youmind.com/openapi/v1in docs. If you need local backend debugging, change~/.youmind/config.yamlor~/.youmind/config/youmind-kit-article.yaml.- Connect your Kit account inside YouMind before publishing. This skill no longer reads local Kit API keys.
Important:
- Kit sender email must already be confirmed, otherwise broadcast creation can fail.
- Private broadcasts are best checked in
https://app.kit.com/campaigns.- Public web URLs are not guaranteed to come back from the API; if missing, check the Broadcast report page and click
Open.No Kit connection yet? You can still write and preview locally — just skip the publish step.
Usage
Provide a topic, a raw Markdown file, or describe the Kit broadcast you want.
Write from a topic:
Write a Kit broadcast about the three workflow changes AI coding agents forced on our team
Publish existing Markdown:
Publish this markdown to Kit as a public broadcast
Manage existing broadcasts:
List my Kit broadcasts List my Kit email templates Publish this as a private Kit draft
Setup
Prerequisites: Node.js >= 18, a YouMind API key, and a Kit account connected in YouMind if you want to publish.
Step 1 -- Install Dependencies
cd toolkit && npm install && npm run build && cd ..
Step 2 -- Create Config File
mkdir -p ~/.youmind/config
cp shared/config.example.yaml ~/.youmind/config.yaml
Canonical credentials: put your shared YouMind credentials in
~/.youmind/config.yaml— filled ONCE and read by every YouMind skill. Seeshared/config.example.yamlfor the template andshared/YOUMIND_HOME.md. Optional skill overrides live in~/.youmind/config/youmind-kit-article.yaml.
Step 3 -- Get YouMind API Key
- Open YouMind API Keys
- Click Create API Key
- Copy the
sk-ym-xxxxkey - Fill in
~/.youmind/config.yamlunderyoumind.api_key - Keep
youmind.base_urlashttps://youmind.com/openapi/v1in examples and documentation. Local backend testing should only override~/.youmind/config.yamlor~/.youmind/config/youmind-kit-article.yaml.
Step 4 -- Connect Kit in YouMind
- Open YouMind and connect your Kit account in the product's publishing / connector settings flow
- Save the Kit API key there once
- Confirm the sender email inside Kit before trying to create broadcasts
- Keep only
youmind.api_keyin~/.youmind/config.yaml
Verify Setup
cd toolkit && npx tsx src/cli.ts validate
If the account is not connected, the OpenAPI returns a connector URL pointing to https://youmind.com/settings/connector.
If the current plan is not eligible, the OpenAPI returns 402 and points the user to https://youmind.com/pricing.
Skill Directory
This skill is a folder. Read files on demand -- do NOT load everything upfront.
| Path | Purpose | When to read |
|------|---------|-------------|
| references/pipeline.md | Full step-by-step execution | When running the broadcast pipeline |
| references/platform-dna.md | Kit creator-profile, newsletter-feed, and broadcast norms | Before any content work |
| references/content-generation-playbook.md | Idea → Kit-native broadcast workflow | When generating new content |
| references/content-adaptation-playbook.md | Existing article → Kit-native workflow | When adapting/cross-posting content |
| references/content-adaptation.md | Supplemental Kit writing rules | Supplementary reference |
| references/api-reference.md | YouMind Kit OpenAPI endpoint documentation | When calling Kit through YouMind |
| ~/.youmind/config.yaml | Shared API credentials (YouMind only) | Step 1 |
| output/ | Local article Markdown drafts (git-ignored) | When writing the broadcast |
| toolkit/dist/*.js | Executable scripts (run from toolkit/) | Various steps |
Draft Location Rule
Canonical: write local article Markdown files to ~/.youmind/articles/kit/<slug>.md. This shared home directory is available to all YouMind skills — see shared/YOUMIND_HOME.md.
Legacy fallback (if ~/.youmind/ is not writable): skills/youmind-kit-article/output/<slug>.md.
- Correct:
~/.youmind/articles/kit/my-broadcast.md - Correct (legacy):
skills/youmind-kit-article/output/my-broadcast.md - Wrong: skill root directly,
references/,toolkit/, or an ad-hocdrafts/directory
Both locations are git-ignored. Create directories on demand (mkdir -p ~/.youmind/articles/kit). Kebab-case filenames (my-broadcast.md), descriptive slugs over timestamps.
Dispatch Integration (Optional)
This skill is self-contained and fully usable standalone. The youmind-article-dispatch hub is an optional companion; it is NOT required for anything.
- Primary mode — standalone: Invoke directly ("Write a Kit broadcast about X"). Works with zero other YouMind skills installed.
- Author voice lookup: This skill reads
~/.youmind/author-profile.yaml(shared home directory — seeshared/YOUMIND_HOME.md) for cross-platform voice preferences. Works whether or not dispatch is installed. - Optional dispatch-mode invocation: When dispatch invokes this skill with a content brief containing
resolved_author, the skill uses those fields as extra context, but still applies Kit-native requirements like subject/preview alignment, creator-profile fit, and campaigns/public-feed behavior. - Capability manifest (opt-in):
dispatch-capabilities.yamlis metadata that lets dispatch route intelligently. Deleting it reverts to defaults; it never breaks this skill. - Optional interop protocol:
shared/DISPATCH_CONTRACT.md(v1.0).
Content Modes
Before writing any content, read references/platform-dna.md to internalize Kit's actual product surfaces: broadcasts, creator profile newsletter feed, and creator-network discoverability.
Intent routing
| User's input | Operation | Playbook to load |
|--------------|-----------|-----------------|
| Idea, topic, or thesis only | Generate | references/content-generation-playbook.md |
| Existing article from blog/other platform | Cross-post | references/content-adaptation-playbook.md |
| Long article → broadcast version | Condense | references/content-adaptation-playbook.md (condense mode) |
| Old broadcast to refresh | Revive | references/content-adaptation-playbook.md (revive mode) |
| Section → short public-post teaser | Excerpt | references/content-adaptation-playbook.md (excerpt mode) |
Quality gates (before publish)
- Self-critique: Pass all checklist items in the playbook's Step 6
- Conformance report: Generate and present to user (Step 7/8)
- Kit fit: Subject + preview + first screen + CTA are aligned
- User approval: Do not auto-publish without confirmation
Result Links Rule
After any draft, scheduled, or published Kit action, always end with Result links.
- Prefer the public post URL when it exists.
- Include the best Kit management entry point when the post is private or the API did not return a stable public URL.
- Private broadcasts should explicitly point the user to
https://app.kit.com/campaigns. - If the user needs the exact public URL and the API response omitted it, tell them to open the Broadcast report in Kit and click
Open. - Never leave the user with only a broadcast ID.
