Blog Start
This skill should be used when the user runs /4d-blog-engine:blog-start or asks any variant of "open my blog project," "resume my blog work," "start a blog session," "what's in progress on the blog," or "load the blog plugin." It locates the user's blog-project-instructions.md marker file, mounts the two declared directories (blog project + GitHub repo), surfaces in-progress and unpublished pieces, and proposes the next step. Do NOT use this skill for: first-time setup (use /4d-blog-engine:blog-init), running the pipeline (use /4d-blog-engine:blog-pipeline), or publishing (use /4d-blog-engine:blog-publish).
