A command for creating a long-form article in the Distill style, including navigation, a table of contents, citations, mathematics, diagrams, and a structured footer.

Use it to publish research or technical explainers with sections, references, interactive-style diagrams, and mathematical content.

It provides a repeatable article layout so you can focus on the subject matter instead of assembling the page structure.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00025	$0.00979
Opus 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00392
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00005	$0.00196
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00098

Security

Grade A, and why

article 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Load the distill-design skill, then produce a long-form Distill-style article on the topic given in $@.

Workflow:

Read plugins/distill-design/SKILL.md first for the file table and the decision tree, then plugins/distill-design/DESIGN-SYSTEM.md § "Content fundamentals" and § "Typography" for voice and exact display sizes.
If the topic is ambiguous (paper not named, audience unstated, length unstated), ask one clarifying question. Otherwise commit.
Outline the article first as a numbered list of h2 sections in sentence case, with one-line descriptions. Pause for confirmation only if the user asked you to. Otherwise proceed.
Copy plugins/distill-design/ui_kits/article/index.html as the scaffold. Replace prose, citations, and diagrams; keep the <head>, the Babel-standalone setup, the <link> to ../../tokens/colors_and_type.css, and the <script src> lines for Primitives.tsx, Chrome.tsx, Diagrams.tsx, and any of RL.tsx / Graph.tsx / Heatmap.tsx / Specialized.tsx you need.
Use ArticleNav, ArticleHeader, TOCDrawer, and ArticleFooter from Chrome.tsx. The footer must include all 7 canonical sections (Acknowledgments, Author Contributions, Discussion and Review, References, Updates and Corrections, Reuse, Citation) — each is a prop on ArticleFooter. Pass meaningful values; do not leave the defaults.
Inline citations use the Citation primitive from Primitives.tsx with a bib map. Equations use MathBlock. Figures use Figure with n (figure number) and caption. Diagrams inside figures compose primitives — pick the right file via the SKILL decision tree (RL → RL.tsx, beam search / HMM → Graph.tsx, attention / convolution / recurrent → Heatmap.tsx, molecule / Feynman / annotated raster → Specialized.tsx, generic FiLM-style → Diagrams.tsx + Primitives.tsx).
Default output location: a sibling HTML file under plugins/distill-design/preview/article-<slug>.html. If the user asks for a TSX-only scaffold to drop into their own app, return a .tsx file with the article body component (no <html> shell) and list the imports they need.

Voice and prose constraints (non-negotiable):

English only. Never translate the artifact, even if this conversation is in another language.
First-person plural ("we") for narration; second person ("you") only when addressing reader actions.
Active voice, present tense. Math verbs get verbed ("dot producted", "softmaxed").
Sentence case for headings. Title case reserved for proper nouns and named methods.
No emoji anywhere. No exclamation points in body. No contractions in formal sections.
No marketing superlatives ("revolutionary", "powerful", "robust", "comprehensive", "elegant", "game-changing"). State what the thing does; let the reader judge.
No year literals in the article body unless the topic genuinely requires dating a specific paper. Prefer "now-archived", "modern", "earlier".
Captions describe what to look at, not what to conclude.

Visual constraints (non-negotiable):

Body color rgba(0,0,0,0.8) (≈ #333). Pure #000 only on the h1.
Reading column 704px; figures may break out to 984px via the breakout prop on Figure.
Strokes 1.5–2px in #666 with stroke-linecap="round". No multi-color icons. No gradients, no shadows on body content, no fixed elements.
Background #fdfdfd. Never pure white.

Verification:

After writing, serve via cd plugins/distill-design && python3 -m http.server 8765 (Babel standalone fetches the .tsx files via XHR — file:// is blocked by CORS).
Open http://localhost:8765/preview/article-<slug>.html and verify visually with chrome-devtools (screenshot, list-network-requests). The user values verification; do not claim the article is correct without inspecting the rendered output.

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.

article is a command published in the GitHub repository geo-mena/distill (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 979 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
