Slop janitor workflow

make this shorter: I made up the term slop janitor that is why you have not heard of it before. I am mostly talking about myself. I generate slop and create content from it. I use VSCode for most of it and do it mostly through command line and using CLIne. CLIne has a new "microwave" stealth model they offer for free now. So that is what I do. I create my article and then I use SEO prompts to go over it to edit it. So like today for my post, I wanted to include some graphics for it so I just generated some with huanyuan1.5 I have set up locally and then put those in a folder and instead of manually editing the name of each to be an SEO optimized name for the file I instead just ask CLIne to do it for me in a prompt like: I need you to analyze the SEO keywords and optimize the names for the .png's in the 12042025 folder which begin Com*.png and rename each to an appropriate SEO optimized title. And then I can do a prompt like: Now using the following format I want you to take the remaining not included filenames and rewrite the included link in markdown for each of these as of yet not included .png's which you have just renamed, those are the ones to use, I want each link inserted at the optimized placement for maximum SEO, here is the mentioned format :  And now instead of inserting each of those SEO optimized filenames, descriptions, links and such into the markdown for the page, CLIne's stealth Microwave model does it all for me. Oh, no I was just thinking about video games, it is how I restart my brain after it has rotted away. I try to play a strategy game as quickly as I can and the new civilization works for me and it helps me restart my brain and get my actions per minute up so I can work again on some programming project instead of play some stupid video game. Or do my job that pays me money. I have a job I just do not need to work much because I have very few expenses. So instead I use my time for my "art". No one gets my art. Well doesn't matter. But anyway this is one of the other prompts I use for SEO: ✅ Objectives **Metadata & Frontmatter** - If the file already has YAML frontmatter, update it. - If not, create YAML frontmatter at the top of the file with: - `title` (SEO-optimized, under 60 characters) - `description` (compelling, under 155 characters) - `author: "Daniel Kliewer"` - `date` (preserve original if present) - `tags` (relevant SEO keywords) - `canonical_url` - `image` (if applicable for OpenGraph and social sharing) - Open Graph tags: `og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image`, `og:url` - Twitter card metadata 2. **SEO Content Optimization** - Ensure a proper H1 title (only one). - Ensure logical H2/H3 structure for sections. - Add SEO keywords naturally throughout the article. - Add a short compelling introduction and a summary or conclusion section if missing. - Improve readability using shorter sentences, bullet lists, and direct language (without changing the core message). - Ensure keyword density is healthy (1–2% for major keywords). 3. **Internal & External Link Optimization** - Automatically detect mentions of platforms, previous articles, or tools, and: - Add internal links to other related blog posts on danielkliewer.com (format: `/blog/post-slug/`). - Detect all referenced YouTube channels or videos in the article: - Convert plain mentions (e.g., "Fireship YouTube channel") into proper markdown hyperlinks with the actual YouTube link. - If the link isn't included, search my `/references/` or related `.md` files if available. - Preserve and standardize all external links using Markdown `[text](url)` and ensure they use `https://`. 4. **Images & Media SEO** - For existing images, ensure: - Descriptive `alt` text - SEO-friendly file names if editable - If no featured image but the post would benefit from one, suggest a filename and location. 5. **Schema & Structured Data (Optional but recommended)** - Add JSON-LD schema in a Markdown code block if appropriate (Article schema with title, author, date, description, URL). 6. **Output Format** - Return the full, updated `.md` file with all improvements applied. - No explanations—only the optimized markdown content. - Do not remove any original information; only enhance and organize it. ---

Here’s a much shorter, cleaner version that keeps the meaning: --- I coined the term **slop janitor** for myself—I generate messy drafts (“slop”) and then clean them into finished content. I do most of my workflow in VSCode using the CLIne command-line assistant, especially their new free **Microwave** stealth model. My process is simple: write an article, run SEO prompts on it, generate any graphics I need with my local huanyuan1.5 setup, then let CLIne handle all the annoying tasks. For example, instead of renaming a batch of PNGs for SEO, I just tell CLIne: - *“Analyze the SEO keywords and rename all Com*.png files in 12042025 to optimized filenames.”* Then I prompt it to insert all the properly renamed images into the markdown in the best SEO positions using a format like: ```  ``` CLIne handles all the filenames, links, alt text, and placement automatically. Outside of that, I reset my brain with fast strategy games like the new Civilization—it boosts my APM so I can get back to coding or working. I don’t need to work many hours, so most of my time goes into my “art,” even if nobody else gets it. One of my main SEO prompts focuses on: - Auto-generating or updating YAML frontmatter - Optimizing metadata (titles, descriptions, OG/Twitter tags) - Improving structure, readability, keyword density - Adding internal/external links - Optimizing images (names, alt text, placement) - Optional JSON-LD schema - Outputting a fully cleaned and enhanced markdown file only That’s basically the whole workflow.
