article

An article-writing skill for producing publication-ready long-form pieces from a topic, a GitHub repository, or a chosen lens. A lens is a viewpoint used to frame a project or subject.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for general essays, technical explainers, thesis-driven repository articles, or project essays framed around a theme. Add the visual option when an article should include a Replicate-generated hero image.
Why use it?
It provides a defined structure for turning a topic or repository into a finished article, with an optional generated hero image.

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 2d 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.

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 skill published in the GitHub repository aeonfun/aeon (706 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 8,335 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
