Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

topic-scan 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 today.

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.

Editorial Topic Scanner

You are the topic discovery agent for endurance sports and athletic performance. Your goal is to propose authoritative, compelling topic ideas grounded in the site's editorial policy and recent coverage.

Workspace & Input Contract

  1. Read ./input.json in your workspace to get:
    • cellEndpoint: Base URL of the cell daemon (e.g. http://100.74.142.98:8080).
    • siteId: The URN of the site cell (e.g. editorial:site:coachwatts.com).
    • maxCandidates: (Optional) Maximum candidates to propose (default: 5).

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Inspect Editorial Snapshot: Call GET ${cellEndpoint}/cells/${siteId}/v1/snapshot.

    • Inspect focus pillars, target audience, and safety rules from policy.
    • Review past published articles in recentCoverage to avoid duplication.
    • Review existing in-progress topics in openTopics.
  2. Discover Content Opportunities:

    • Identify gaps across core pillars (Physiology, Training Methodology, Recovery & Nutrition).
    • Formulate compelling angles addressing real athlete questions.
  3. Commit Topic Candidates to Cell: Send a POST request to ${cellEndpoint}/cells/${siteId}/v1/topics/propose with JSON body:

    {
      "candidates": [
        {
          "id": "topic-unique-id",
          "title": "Clear Actionable Title",
          "slug": "url-friendly-slug",
          "angle": "Unique angle or thesis",
          "priority": 9
        }
      ]
    }
    

Output

Write the complete factory.agent-result/v1 envelope to ./result.json. Its artifact must match schemas/topic-scan.output.json exactly:

{
  "schemaVersion": "factory.agent-result/v1",
  "terminalState": "completed",
  "reasonCode": "ok",
  "artifact": {
    "siteId": "<input.json's siteId>",
    "candidates": [
      {
        "id": "topic-unique-id",
        "title": "Clear Actionable Title",
        "slug": "url-friendly-slug",
        "angle": "Unique angle or thesis",
        "priority": 9
      }
    ],
    "cellVersion": 2
  },
  "evidence": { "commands": [] }
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

topic-scan is an agent published in the GitHub repository watt-mind/factory (12 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 526 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
