+Draft a "News & Updates" blog post for AfterTouch covering recent git activity, then open a draft PR for review.
+
+## Step 1 — Determine lookback window
+
+Run:
+```
+git log --format="%ad" --date=short -- docs/content/blog/ | grep -v '_index' | head -1
+```
+
+If a date is returned, use it as SINCE.
+If the output is empty (no posts yet), compute SINCE = 30 days before today:
+- macOS: `date -v-30d +%Y-%m-%d`
+- Linux: `date -d '30 days ago' +%Y-%m-%d`
+
+## Step 2 — Collect commits since SINCE
+
+Run:
+```
+git log --format="%ad %h %s" --date=short --since="$SINCE" --no-merges
+```
+
+Exclude these (they are noise):
+- Subjects matching: `^(ci|chore|deps|bump|Bump|test|lint|style|code style|debug)`
+- Dependabot bumps (subject contains "bump" and includes a package name pattern)
+- Routine doc link/URL fixes
+
+Group the remaining commits into categories:
+- **NEW FEATURES** — subjects starting with `feat(` or `feat:`
+- **BUG FIXES** — subjects starting with `fix(` or `fix:`
+- **SECURITY** — subjects starting with `sec` or containing "security", "inject", "path expression"
+- **DOCS** — user-visible doc changes only (new guides, major restructures)
+- **MAINTENANCE** — everything else that passed the filter
+
+Omit empty categories entirely.
+
+## Step 3 — Current version
+
+Run: `git tag --sort=-version:refname | head -1`
+
+## Step 4 — Determine the period label
+
+Use the first and last commit dates from Step 2 to produce a human-readable label,
+e.g. "May 2026" or "April – May 2026".
+
+## Step 5 — Write the blog post
+
+Create the file at: `docs/content/blog/YYYY-MM-slug.md`
+- YYYY-MM = today's year-month
+- slug = short kebab-case summary of the biggest theme
+
+Use this exact frontmatter shape:
+```yaml
+---
+title: "AfterTouch PERIOD: <one-line theme>"
+date: YYYY-MM-DD
+description: "<one sentence, ≤200 chars, suitable as a standalone teaser>"
+tags:
+  - <up to 4 tags from: security, tls, discovery, docs, cli, web, spotify, amazon, health, migration, fixes, ci>
+sidebar:
+  exclude: true
+---
+```
+
+Body structure:
+1. Opening paragraph (3–5 sentences) explaining what happened and why it matters to someone running AfterTouch.
+2. One `##` section per non-empty category. Use bullet points written for an operator audience — no raw git subjects, no internal Go package paths.
+3. End with: `**Current release:** vX.Y.Z`
+
+Target length: 300–600 words. Never include real IPs, MAC addresses, account IDs, or device names.
+
+## Step 6 — Create a branch and open a draft PR
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b blog/YYYY-MM-update
+git add docs/content/blog/YYYY-MM-slug.md
+git commit -m "docs(blog): add PERIOD update post"
+git push -u origin blog/YYYY-MM-update
+gh pr create --draft \
+  --title "Blog: PERIOD update post" \
+  --body "Automated draft from /blog-update skill. Review content before merging — deployment is automatic on merge to main."
+```
+
+If the `documentation` label exists on the repo, add `--label documentation`.
+
+## Step 7 — Done
+
+Report the PR URL. Do not merge, approve, or request review.
