I Fire Myself Every Morning: The 11-Step Automation Stack Behind the New MTS Blog

TL;DR: We didn't just migrate a blog; we built a Content Factory. In our move to a Headless CMS, we implemented 11 specific automations. I write in Markdown once, and the system auto-generates code, SEO schemas, and translations for 6 languages instantly. The most critical addition? llms.txt—a dedicated interface for AI agents to read our site.

Tokyo - February 13, 2026

I told you we migrated 1,000+ posts in 3 days.

But the speed of the migration isn't the story. The story is what happens after I hit "Save."

In the old world (last week), publishing a post was a 20-step manual ritual. I had to write the post, format it, write the meta description, check the slug, go to Google Translate for the Japanese version, paste it back, fix the formatting again...

It was a waste of a CEO's time.

Now, I have fired myself from the admin role.

We built a pipeline that executes 11 distinct actions the moment raw text touches the system.

Here is the architecture of a Self-Driving Blog:

1. The Core Transformation (Markdown --> The World)

I write in raw text (Markdown). The system takes over from there.

• ✅ Markdown $\rightarrow$ HTML $\rightarrow$ Lexical Format:I don't touch the CMS editor. The pipeline ingests my raw text and converts it into the complex Lexical JSON structure required by the Headless CMS. Zero formatting errors.
• ✅ Auto-Generates URL Slug:The system reads the title, strips stop words, and creates an SEO-friendly slug.
• • Input: "Why the AI Revolution is Here"
  • Output: /ai-revolution-here
• ✅ Extracts TL;DR:An LLM agent scans the article, summarizes the core thesis, and injects it into the "Excerpt" field for social media cards.
• ✅ Default Author Assignment:It automatically tags "James Huang" as the author, linking to my bio and schema data.

2. The SEO Shield (Invisible Infrastructure)

This is where we win against the algorithm. I don't "do" SEO anymore; the code does.

• ✅ Generates SEO Metadata:An agent analyzes the content and writes a high-CTR Meta Title and Meta Description that fits pixel-width limits.
• ✅ Creates JSON-LD Schema:The system builds the structured data (Article, Breadcrumb, FAQ) so Google understands exactly what the page is.
• ✅ Auto-Updates sitemap.xml:No plugins. No manual refreshes. The moment a post is scheduled, the sitemap is rebuilt and pinged to search engines.

3. Global Scale (The 6-Language Fork)

This is the killer feature. I write in English (or Chinese), and the system instantly clones the content for the world.

• ✅ Translates to 6 Languages:The pipeline spins up agents to translate the content into:
• 1. Japanese (JA) - for my Tokyo base.
  2. Korean (KO) - for the neighbors.
  3. Spanish (ES) - for the Americas.
  4. Traditional Chinese (ZH-TW) - for Taiwan.
  5. Simplified Chinese (ZH-CN) - for the mainland.
  6. French (FR) - for Europe.
• ✅ Translates SEO Metadata:Crucially, it doesn't just translate the body; it translates the SEO Title and Description into the local language, ensuring we rank on Naver (Korea) and Baidu (China) as well as Google.

4. The Future-Proofing (LLM SEO)

• ✅ Updates llms.txt Automatically:This is the most important feature for 2026.We maintain a dynamic llms.txt file at the root of the domain. This is a file specifically designed for AI Crawlers (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity). It tells them: "Here is the clean, text-only version of my site. Read this."While other sites are blocking AI bots, we are rolling out the red carpet.

5. The Logistics

• ✅ Schedules Publish Date:The system automatically sets the publish time for Tomorrow at 9:00 AM JST, ensuring consistency without me looking at the clock.

Conclusion: The 1-to-Unlimited Ratio

This automation stack has changed my math.

Input: 1 Unit of Effort (Writing).

Output: 6 Languages $\times$ Perfect SEO $\times$ AI Readability $\times$ Infinite Scale.

We didn't just update a blog. We built a machine that turns Thoughts into Global Assets automatically.

This is what Mercury does. We don't just build websites; we build engines.
