CustomerNewsletter: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/newsletter-assembly/SKILL.md

newsletter-assembly is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from briancl2/CustomerNewsletter. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,279 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A newsletter assembly workflow that combines curated sections and extracted events into one finished Markdown newsletter. Markdown is a plain-text format that uses simple symbols for headings, links, and lists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in Phase 4 to assemble curated sections and event data, add highlights and standard links, and save the newsletter ready for distribution.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of combining pipeline outputs, adding the introduction and closing, and keeping the required section order. It also applies structural and content-density checks.

This is briancl2/CustomerNewsletter's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on CustomerNewsletter itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything CustomerNewsletter configures →

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

newsletter-assembly 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 11d 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.

Newsletter Assembly

Assemble Phase 3 curated sections and Phase 2 events into a complete newsletter.

Quick Start

  1. Read Phase 3 curated sections from workspace/newsletter_phase3_curated_sections_*.md
  2. Read Phase 2 events from workspace/newsletter_phase2_events_*.md
  3. Create introduction with 2-3 key highlights
  4. Assemble sections in mandatory order
  5. Add standard closing, changelog links, YouTube playlists
  6. Enforce heading structure and density targets for long windows
  7. Write output to output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md

Inputs

  • Phase 3 Curated Sections: workspace/newsletter_phase3_curated_sections_*.md (required)
  • Phase 2 Events: workspace/newsletter_phase2_events_*.md (required)

Output

  • File: output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md
  • Complete newsletter ready for distribution

Core Workflow

Step 1: Create Introduction

Use the standard template with 2-3 dynamic highlights:

This is a personally curated newsletter for my customers, focused on the most
relevant updates and resources from GitHub this month. Highlights for this month
include [2-3 key highlights]. If you have any feedback or want to dive deeper
into any topic, please let me know. Feel free to share this newsletter with
others on your team as well. You can find an archive of past newsletters
[here](https://github.com/briancl2/CustomerNewsletter).

Select highlights from the most impactful GA features or major enterprise announcements in the curated sections.

Step 2: Assemble in Mandatory Order

See section-ordering.md for the required section sequence.

  1. Introduction (with highlights)
  2. Monthly Announcement / Lead Section (if present in Phase 3)
  3. Copilot (mandatory heading shape: # Copilot with ## Latest Releases, plus Copilot at Scale with changelogs)
  4. Enterprise and Security Updates (H1 for Feb benchmark-style runs)
  5. Resources and Best Practices (H1 when sources exist)
  6. Webinars, Events, and Recordings (H1, with H2 subheadings from Phase 2)
  7. Closing

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
