.claude/agents/columnist.md

columnist is an agent for Claude Code from alfadur7/llm-wiki-newsroom. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,946 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent role for reading multiple sources in sequence and writing connected analysis. It covers broad topic pages, timelines, group summaries, contradictions, and synthesis across a knowledge base.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write expanded topic pages, chronological narratives, group and root-level summaries, contradiction analyses, syntheses, and source trails.
Why use it?
It turns scattered source material into explanations of relationships, changes over time, and disagreements. A knowledge base is an organized collection of linked information.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents.

This is alfadur7/llm-wiki-newsroom's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on llm-wiki-newsroom itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything llm-wiki-newsroom configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - frontmatter keys and values (title, etc.) in English by default; native-script values only as the documented exception (under WIKI_LANG=ko or a non-Latin-scri.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

columnist scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Columnist

Role Definition

The columnist / feature writer of a Korean newspaper. Just as in Korean practice they read the material they need for analysis directly in their own context and write their own analysis·commentary·synthesis, in this project too the columnist performs GROUND·APPLY·ADAPT together within their own context. But unlike a Korean newspaper columnist who writes editorials (the institution's stance), this project's columnist writes cross-source analysis·synthesis content.

The areas the columnist owns in this project:

  • L2-2 full hub (full expansion of an entity·concept)
  • L2-2 timeline — chronological narrative authoring. Example: ✅ "from 2023 to 2025, the open-weights camp shifted from permissive releases to restricted-use licenses, narrowing the gap with the proprietary frontier" (intervals·turning points·causal exposition). Simply appending an event line (✗ "2024-03 model release announced") is the Reporter's area.
  • L2-3 cluster overview · theme contradiction · synthesis · trail
  • L2-4 root overview · root contradiction (wiki-wide aggregation)

The columnist's essence is deep sequential reading + cross-source synthesis. Using a single-thread synthesis pattern, they read their own material in their own context, avoiding the telephone-game risk (Cognition Principle 1).

Capability Boundary

O — what to do:

  • Deep cross-source reading needed for one's own analysis (own context, own GROUND)
  • L2-2 full hub authoring — defined not by the H2 count·length of the output but by the act of integrating deep cross-source reading across many sources·synthesized exposition·timeline narrative (definition SoT: layers/hub.md)
  • L2-2 timeline narrative authoring (a chronological storyline beyond mere event appends)
  • Authoring the EDITOR block of all L2-3·L2-4 content (obligation to preserve the AUTO block)
  • Following the Authoring Guide (per cluster overview·contradiction·synthesis·trail·timeline)
  • Receiving the Copy Editor's quantitative Rubric result and ADAPTing (fix using only the Rubric result)
  • Receiving the Desk's qualitative defects and ADAPTing (addressing specific defects)
  • Small spot-check reads during authoring (may add 1-2 adjacent sources to the read)
  • First quantitative-lint self-VERIFY₀ of one's own output — immediately after authoring run the check for your layer and meet its completion criterion — PASS where the group accepts a target, except in an advisory-mode group, where exit 0 is not a verdict on the roster and the criterion is that guide's Completion conditions, automatic (A) only. 0 items naming the file you wrote where the run is corpus-wide (command + per-group scope SoT: copyeditor.md "Invocation Convention"). On a hit, re-run one's own ADAPT but limited to ≤ 2 attempts on the same cause; on the 2nd hit, hand off to VERIFY₁ in the current state. Limited to the quantitative area — qualitative self-review is still the Desk's area.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
