Analyzes blogs and online publications to create comprehensive profiles of authors' perspectives, biases, political leanings, and worldviews. This skill helps you understand the lens through which a blog author sees the world, making it easier to critically evaluate their work.
Use this skill when you want to:
- Understand a blog author's perspective and biases
- Analyze the political leanings of a publication
- Profile a blog's worldview and values
- Compare perspectives across different blogs
Simply ask Claude to analyze a blog:
Analyze the blog at example.substack.com for the author's perspective
Or:
Can you profile the political leanings of [Blog Name]?
The skill will:
- Fetch and analyze 5-10 representative posts from the blog
- Examine the author's "About" page if available
- Analyze content across multiple dimensions:
- Core beliefs and values
- Political and ideological leanings
- Biases and blind spots
- Rhetorical style
- Epistemology (how they know what they know)
- Create a concise, one-page profile (~800-1000 words)
- Save the analysis to a markdown file
The skill generates a structured profile including:
- Executive Summary: Quick overview of the author's perspective
- Political & Worldview Profile: Detailed political and ideological analysis
- Core Values, Biases & Blind Spots: What drives the author and what they miss
- How to Read This Author: Practical guidance for critically reading their work
- Evidence & Style: How they argue and what they consider evidence
- Key Quotes: Representative excerpts from their writing
