article

article is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronjmars/aeon-agent. It costs 43 tokens per session (8,335 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of article, MIT.

A writing tool for creating publication-ready articles in three formats: trend-based long-form pieces, analyses of watched software repositories, and essays that examine a project through a chosen idea. It can optionally create a hero image through Replicate, an image-generation service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write an article about a trending topic, a specific software repository, or a subject such as regulation viewed through another lens. You can also request a hero image alongside the article.
Why use it?
It removes the need to plan each article format and workflow from scratch. It also gives you a way to add a generated lead image when the required Replicate access is available.

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 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 555 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

${var} — Selector: [angle:arg] [--visual]. The angle prefix picks the article type; append --visual (or visual) anywhere to also generate a Replicate hero image.

  • emptystandard general long-form article on an auto-selected trending topic. If the resolved topic is a single explainable mechanism, it becomes a technical explainer instead.
  • <topic> (no recognized prefix) → standard article on that topic.
  • repo:<owner/repo>repo thesis-driven article about that repo. repo:<angle> (e.g. repo:architecture) or bare repo: uses the repo from memory/watched-repos.md with that angle / an auto-selected angle — this preserves repo-article's original input.
  • lens:<topic>lens project-through-a-lens essay framed by that lens (e.g. lens:unix philosophy). Bare lens: auto-selects the lens.
  • --visual appended to any of the above → after the body is written, generate a Replicate hero image (optional REPLICATE_API_TOKEN; ships text-only if absent).

Examples: "", "entropy trajectory reasoning --visual", "repo:aeonfun/aeon", "repo:roadmap", "lens:regulation wave --visual".

Today is ${today}. Write a high-quality, publication-ready article. No placeholders.

Shared preamble (every run)

  1. Read memory/MEMORY.md for context on what topics/articles have been covered recently.
  2. Read the last 3–7 days of memory/logs/ for recent activity — and don't re-report something already covered.
  3. Parse ${var} into angle + visual:
    • Detect a standalone --visual or visual token anywhere in ${var}; if present set visual = true and strip that token. Otherwise visual = false.
    • From what remains: if it starts with repo:angle = repo, arg = the rest. If it starts with lens:angle = lens, arg = the rest. Otherwise → angle = standard, arg = the whole remaining string (empty ⇒ auto-select).
  4. Dispatch to the matching angle section below. If visual = true, run the Visual add-on after the article body is written, regardless of angle.

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.
