DEV (dev.to)
Post and manage articles on dev.to via the Forem REST API. Stable v1, single API key, no OAuth dance. Sibling to ro:linkedin for cross-posting.
Usage
/ro:dev-to me # smoke-test auth, print profile
/ro:dev-to list # list all my articles
/ro:dev-to list drafts # list unpublished only
/ro:dev-to list published # list published only
/ro:dev-to draft post.md # POST as draft
/ro:dev-to draft post.md --publish # POST and publish in one shot
/ro:dev-to draft post.md --open # POST as draft, then open in browser
/ro:dev-to publish <id> # flip an existing draft to published
/ro:dev-to update <id> post.md # edit an existing article
/ro:dev-to get <id> # fetch one article (markdown)
/ro:dev-to open <id> # open the article in the browser
Markdown file format
Standard dev.to frontmatter — same shape as the dev.to web editor accepts:
---
title: "Connections Helper: a daily NYT puzzle solver"
published: false
description: "What I built and why it took two weekends, not two hours"
tags: ai, claude, sideproject, javascript
canonical_url: https://ronanconnolly.dev/posts/connections-helper
cover_image: https://ronanconnolly.dev/og/connections-helper.png
series: "Building with Claude Code"
---
# Body markdown here
Forem extracts the frontmatter server-side, so the file is portable: same source works in the dev.to web editor, the API, or as a markdown file in your own site.
Tag rules — max 4. Lowercase. No hyphens (webdev not web-dev).
canonical_url — keep your own site as the SEO source of truth and republish here without duplicate-content penalty.
cover_image — must be a hosted URL. Forem does not accept uploads via API.
Dispatch
| Arg | Script |
|-----|--------|
| me | scripts/me.sh |
| list [filter] | scripts/list.sh |
| get <id> | scripts/get.sh |
| draft <file> [--publish] [--open] | scripts/draft.sh |
| publish <id> | scripts/publish.sh |
| update <id> <file> | scripts/update.sh |
| open <id> | scripts/open.sh |
Pass all trailing args through verbatim.
First-time setup
- Generate an API key at https://dev.to/settings/extensions → DEV Community API Keys (give it a description like
ronan-skills). - Append to
~/.claude/.envunder a# --- DEV Community / dev.to ---header:DEVTO_API_KEY=...chmod 600 ~/.claude/.env. - Smoke-test:
/ro:dev-to me. Should print your username + id + bio.
What this skill does NOT do
- Cover image upload — Forem API takes a URL only. Host the image somewhere (your site, R2, S3) or upload via the dev.to web UI and copy the URL out.
- Delete an article — no DELETE endpoint in the public v1 API. Closest equivalent is
update <id>with frontmatterpublished: falseto unpublish. - Comments / reactions / follows — endpoints exist but are not wired here. Ask to extend.
- Posting on behalf of an organization — needs
organization_idin the article body. Not wired by default; ask to extend.
Closing the loop
draft and publish print the article id and URL on success. Use --open to auto-open in the browser. Pair with /ro:linkedin post to cross-post the same source markdown to LinkedIn (the LinkedIn skill takes plain text, so trim the dev.to frontmatter and headers first).

ingest-devto(in llm-wiki) — the inverse: pulls a dev.to article INTO a wiki vault.ro:write-copy— load before drafting any post body. Required for/ro:voice.ro:linkedin— sibling for LinkedIn posts. Cross-post pattern: write once, publish to dev.to and LinkedIn from the same source.reference.md— full API reference, error codes, frontmatter spec, pagination.- Forem API docs: https://developers.forem.com/api/v1

Use when a branch is ready for main and you want it merged and deployed now. Reads CI policy from `ro ci` (default skips remote CI because GitHub Actions billing keeps hitting limits).

development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Manage credentials INSIDE the active ~/.claude/.env file — read which token/account to use for a given app (Simplicity vs Dataforce vs Ronan-personal), add or update a secret WITHOUT it passing through the chat (an interactive Terminal window prompts for it), and track secrets that were exposed in a transcript so they get rotated. Sibling to /ro:context (which switches WHICH env file is active). Use when the user wants to add an API key/token/secret, asks "which credential do I use for X", needs the env organized/labelled, or a secret was pasted into the chat and should be rotated.
