The Publisher orchestrates the blog post production pipeline. Four subagents handle research, writing, fact-checking, and review.

This page covers the agent definitions. For the Publisher's role in the org chart, pipeline diagram, and invocation examples, see the Publisher wiki page.

Pipeline

graph LR
    R["Researcher"] --> W["Writer"]
    W --> FC["Fact Checker"]
    FC --> Rev["Reviewer"]

1. Researcher gathers sourced facts on a topic (read-only, web search)
2. Writer drafts a blog post from the research brief
3. Fact Checker verifies every claim against sources
4. Reviewer checks style, structure, and readiness for publication

Agent Definitions

Agents are defined in both Claude Code and OpenCode:

Agent	Claude Code	OpenCode
Publisher	.claude/agents/publisher.md (Sonnet)	—
Researcher	.claude/agents/researcher.md (Haiku)	.opencode/agents/blog/researcher.md (Gemini Flash)
Writer	.claude/agents/writer.md (Sonnet)	.opencode/agents/blog/writer.md (Big Pickle)
Fact Checker	.claude/agents/fact-checker.md (Haiku)	.opencode/agents/blog/fact-checker.md (Gemini Flash)
Reviewer	.claude/agents/reviewer.md (Haiku)	.opencode/agents/blog/reviewer.md (Big Pickle)

The Claude Code agents reference the style guide at apps/blog/blog/markdown/posts/.ruler/style.md at runtime rather than duplicating rules inline.

Relationship to Org Chart

The Publisher reports to the mission directly, not to any C-suite role. The CMO may direct what topics to write about, but the Publisher's pipeline is independent.

Invocation

Claude Code:

claude --agent publisher
claude --agent researcher
claude --agent writer
claude --agent fact-checker
claude --agent reviewer

OpenCode: use the agent picker to select from the blog/ group.
