# Platforms: Medium

Guides Medium publishing for parasite SEO and content distribution. Medium's domain authority helps content rank faster than on new sites; articles can reach page 1 within days. Use this skill when planning Medium content or republishing from your site.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Initial Assessment

**Check for project context first:** If `.claude/project-context.md` or `.cursor/project-context.md` exists, read Sections 6 (Keywords), 11 (Content Strategy).

Identify:
1. **Content**: Original or republish
2. **Canonical**: If republish, set canonical to original URL
3. **Goal**: Traffic, backlinks, AI citations
