Cross-Post a DEV.to Tutorial to Medium with a Formatting Check

Cross-posting a technical tutorial is easy to start and surprisingly easy to get wrong. A URL import can leave code blocks split, headings as plain text, or metadata incomplete. The result may look acceptable at a glance while damaging the parts readers need most. This tutorial shows a reviewable DEV.to to Medium workflow using publish-agents , an open-source TypeScript project by Fernando Paladini. Its medium-publisher package imports a public article through Medium's import flow, checks the editor against the source Markdown, and can repair a small set of common formatting problems. TL;DR Checkout the stable v0.2.3 release, build the @paladini/medium-publisher-mcp package, log in once, and create a Medium draft with publish-devto . Keep the default draft behavior while you inspect the title, code blocks, headings, lists, and metadata. Prerequisites You need: Node.js 20 or newer. A published DEV.to article with a public URL. A Medium account that can create stories. A terminal that can run npm and the browser installation step. The package uses Patchright browser automation and a saved browser session. It does not use a Medium write API key. The project documents Medium UI changes as a compatibility risk, so treat the browser session and the resulting draft as reviewable state rather than an unattended guarantee. Install the released source The repository's v0.2.3 release is the stable reference for this walkthrough. Installing from that tag keeps the commands separate from later changes on the default branch. git clone https://github.com/paladini/publish-agents.git cd publish-agents git checkout v0.2.3 npm install npm run build -w @ paladini/medium-publisher-mcp npm link -w @ paladini/medium-publisher-mcp The build produces the CLI and MCP server from the package source. The package declares Node.js 20 or newer and uses patchright as its browser automation dependency. Its post-install step may install the bundled Chromium browser. If that step was skipped in your
