New Dev.to Publish Plugin for SuperCLI: Publish Articles from the Command Line

#javascript #node #cli #devto

I just released a new plugin for supercli that lets you publish articles to Dev.to directly from the command line.

What is devto-publish?

devto-publish is a supercli plugin that wraps the Dev.to REST API, allowing you to publish articles without leaving your terminal.

Usage

sc devto article publish   --api-key "your-api-key"   --title "My Article Title"   --body-markdown "# Content here"   --tags "javascript,nodejs"

Features

Draft mode: Save as drafts before publishing
Tag management: Up to 4 tags with comma-separated format
Agent-friendly: Comprehensive skill guide with 10 common pitfalls
API key authentication: Secure flag-based auth

Setup

Get API key from https://dev.to/settings/account
Install plugin: sc plugins install ./plugins/devto-publish
Publish away!

Agent Integration

The plugin includes a detailed SKILL.md that teaches AI agents how to use it, covering:

API key security best practices
Markdown escaping pitfalls
Tag format requirements
Rate limiting handling
Character encoding issues

This means agents using supercli can now publish articles to Dev.to as part of their workflows.

Example

Publish a technical article:

sc devto article publish   --api-key "$DEVTO_API_KEY"   --title "How to Build a REST API with Node.js"   --body-markdown "$(cat article.md)"   --tags "javascript,nodejs,api,webdev"
