weekly-seedling

weekly-seedling is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Cloud-Forest-Analytics/evergreen. It costs 142 tokens per session (1,750 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A weekly, self-contained HTML newsletter that researches developments relevant to a repository's technical field and turns the useful findings into GitHub issues.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to infer the repository's subject, research relevant releases and papers, filter them through an editorial review, publish one HTML issue per ISO week, and file the result on the project board.
Why use it?
It gives the project a focused way to decide what new ideas or tools are worth adopting, borrowing, watching, or skipping.

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

weekly-seedling 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 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.

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 — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The weekly-seedling

A once-a-week, self-contained HTML newsletter surveying the state of the art in this repo's own domain — relevant releases, research, techniques, and an opinionated read on what's worth adopting. It is the renewal artifact of the maintenance loop: research -> an editorial burn (default-cut review) -> this newsletter -> a few board items -> measure.

The through-line — read first: every issue answers ONE question: "what should this repo adopt, borrow, watch, or skip this week?" It is the repo's scouting dispatch for its own roadmap, not a trade magazine. If an item doesn't change what this repo could build or borrow, it doesn't run.

Cadence: weekly. One issue per ISO week; the issue id IS the ISO YYYY-WW (e.g. 2026-25). An intra-week revision appends .1, .2 and keeps the same identity. Output: a fully self-contained .html (inline CSS, no CDN/JS/web-font fetches) saved under newsletter/issues/ and filed as one GitHub issue.


0 · Infer the domain (do this first, every run)

This skill is repo-agnostic. Before researching, establish what this repo is about from its own artifacts — README.md, CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md, the top-level package manifest, and the dominant languages/dirs. Write a one-sentence domain statement ("this repo is a that does "). Every research query and every verdict is scoped to THAT domain. Never drift into general AI/tech news.

1 · Research (fresh every week — GitHub-first, not press-release-first)

  • Source from REPOS, not corporate blogs. Lead with GitHub repo search, awesome-* lists, papers-with-code, and actual implementations you can read in the repo's domain. Cite the repo URL
    • stars/recency. Minimize vendor/lab press announcements; when one matters, reframe it as "what's the open-source equivalent, and what could we build or borrow?"
  • Domain-specific. Only developments that change a technique, library, or approach relevant to THIS repo. A general model benchmark is out of scope unless it changes something here.
  • Diff against last issue (read the previous newsletter/issues/ file). Cite every claim; adversarially sanity-check — no hallucinated repos, stars, or results.
  • Watchlist feed (read the board, not just the web). Pull open waves the team is already tracking:
    gh issue list --label watchlist --state open --json number,title,body
    gh issue view <N> --json comments --jq '.comments[-1].body'   # latest scan digest per wave
    
    Each watchlist-labeled issue is one wave; its newest comment is that wave's latest digest. These feed the Watchlist section below — not a fresh web hunt.

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.
