article

article is a command for Claude Code from TheCraigHewitt/seomachine. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,477 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates articles through research, planning, and section-by-section writing. SEO means preparing content so search engines can understand and rank it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use `/article` for comprehensive, competitive, or search-focused articles when you need research, a content plan, and a full draft.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of producing generic articles based only on the model’s existing knowledge by requiring current search and social research first.

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

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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 623 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Article Command

A unified content creation pipeline that produces comprehensive, SEO-optimized articles through mandatory research, strategic planning, and section-by-section writing.

Usage

/article [topic]

Examples:

  • /article "Best Project Management Tools for Small Teams"
  • /article "Content Marketing Strategy Guide 2025"
  • /article "How to Migrate from Competitor to Your Product"

What This Command Does

Creates high-quality articles by enforcing a 4-step pipeline where research is mandatory, not optional:

STEP 1: SERP Analysis           → See what Google rewards TODAY
STEP 2: Social Research         → Mine Reddit + YouTube for real insights
STEP 3: Article Planning        → Section-by-section strategy
STEP 4: Section Writing         → Write/edit each section individually

This prevents the "AI knows everything" trap that produces generic content matching competitors instead of beating them.

When to Use This vs /write

Scenario Command
Comprehensive new article /article
Competitive topics /article
Topics where you need to beat existing content /article
Quick drafts from existing research /write
Simple updates to existing content /write

STEP 1: SERP Analysis (MANDATORY)

You MUST research before writing. No exceptions.

Process

  1. Search the Target Keyword Use WebSearch to find what's currently ranking:

    WebSearch: "[topic] industry" OR "[topic] industrying"
    
  2. Analyze Top 5 Ranking Articles For each top-ranking article, use WebFetch and document:

    Element What to Capture
    Structure H2 headings, section order, content type
    Word Count Approximate length
    Gaps Topics covered superficially (<150 words)
    Missing Angles Perspectives not addressed
    Unsupported Claims Statements without data/sources
    Outdated Info Old statistics, deprecated tools
    What They Do Well Strong sections to match

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.
