Blog Analyzer -- Quality Audit & Scoring

Scores blog posts on a 0-100 scale across 5 categories and provides prioritized improvement recommendations. Includes AI content detection analysis. Works with local files or published URLs.

Reference documents:

• references/quality-scoring.md -- full scoring checklist
• references/eeat-signals.md -- E-E-A-T evaluation criteria

Input Handling

• Local file: Read the file directly
• URL: Fetch with WebFetch, extract content
• Directory: Scan for blog files, audit all (batch mode)
• Flags: --format json|table, --batch, --sort score

Scoring Process

Step 1: Content Extraction

Read the blog post and extract:

• Frontmatter (title, description, date, lastUpdated, author, tags)
• Heading structure (H1, H2, H3 with hierarchy)
• Paragraph count and word counts per paragraph
• Statistics (any number claims with or without sources)
• Images (count, alt text presence, format)
• Charts/SVGs (count, type diversity)
• Links (internal, external, broken)
• FAQ section presence
• Schema markup (types present)
• Meta tags (title, description, OG tags, twitter cards)
• Sentence lengths for burstiness analysis
• Vocabulary tokens for diversity scoring

Step 2: Score Each Category

Load references/quality-scoring.md for the full checklist. Score each:

Content Quality (30 points)

SEO Optimization (25 points)

E-E-A-T Signals (15 points)

Technical Elements (15 points)

AI Citation Readiness (15 points)

Step 3: AI Content Detection

Analyze the post for AI-generated content risk:

Burstiness Score (sentence length variance):

• Calculate standard deviation of sentence lengths across the post
• Human writing: high variance (short punchy + long complex sentences)
• AI writing: low variance (consistently medium-length sentences)
• Score: 0-10 scale (10 = very human-like burstiness)

Known AI Phrase Detection -- flag occurrences of these 17 phrases:

1. "It's important to note"
2. "In today's digital landscape"
3. "Delve into"
4. "Navigating the complexities"
5. "Let's explore"
6. "Furthermore"
7. "In conclusion"
8. "It is worth mentioning"
9. "Embark on"
10. "Cutting-edge"
11. "Leverage" (as a verb, non-financial context)
12. "Game-changer"
13. "Revolutionize"
14. "Streamline"
15. "Harness the power"
16. "Dive deep"
17. "Unlock the potential"

Vocabulary Diversity (Type-Token Ratio):

• Calculate unique words / total words
• Human writing: TTR typically 0.4-0.6 for long-form
• AI writing: TTR often below 0.35 (repetitive vocabulary)

AI Content Risk Assessment:

• Flag if AI probability > 50% based on combined signals
• Provide specific passages that triggered the flag
• Recommend humanization: personal anecdotes, varied sentence rhythm, domain jargon

Step 4: Determine Rating

Step 5: Generate Report

Default output format (Markdown):

## Blog Quality Report: [Title]

**Score: [X]/100** -- [Rating]

### Priority Queue (Lowest Scoring First)
1. post-2.md (42) -- Full rewrite needed, high AI content risk
2. post-3.md (71) -- Answer-first formatting + stats needed
3. post-1.md (85) -- Add OG tags, minor polish

Run `/blog rewrite <file>` on each, starting from lowest score.
