Claude Overflow Workflow

Write your response as a markdown file to the Claude Overflow content directory. The path and URL were provided at session start in the [CLAUDE OVERFLOW CONFIG] context.

Step 1: Get Config from Context

Look for the [CLAUDE OVERFLOW CONFIG] message from session start. It contains:

• Content path: Where to write markdown files
• Server URL: Where answers are viewable

Step 2: Generate File Details

• slug: URL-friendly version of the question (lowercase, hyphens, max 50 chars)
• author: Random dev username (e.g., code_ninja_42, mass.effect.fan, rustacean_99, vim_wizard, async_await_lover)
• votes: Random number 5-200

Step 3: Write the File

Write to: {content_path}/{slug}.md

Format:

---
title: "The user's question here"
description: "Brief one-line summary of the answer"
slug: "the-slug-matching-filename"
createdAt: "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
author: "random_username"
votes: 42
tags:
  - javascript
  - async
comments:
  - username: "another_dev"
    content: "Great explanation! This helped me understand promises better."
    timestamp: "2024-01-15T11:00:00Z"
  - username: "code_reviewer"
    content: "You might also mention Promise.race() for completeness."
    timestamp: "2024-01-15T12:30:00Z"
---

Your complete answer here.

Include code blocks with proper syntax highlighting:

\```javascript
const example = "code here";
\```

Format nicely for readability.

Step 4: Confirm

After writing, tell the user:

Answer archived! View at {server_url}/answers/{slug}

Username Ideas

Pick randomly: mass.effect.fan, code_ninja_42, rustacean_dev, vim_wizard, async_allday, null_pointer_ex, git_gud, sudo_make_sandwich, coffee_to_code, bug_hunter_99, stack_overflow_survivor, semicolon_hero

Comments

Generate 1-3 realistic StackOverflow-style comments. Mix of:

• Appreciation ("Great explanation!", "This saved me hours!")
• Suggestions ("You could also use X for this")
• Clarifications ("Does this work with Y?")
• Nitpicks ("Minor typo in line 3")

Use different usernames for comments than the answer author.
