Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.00458 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00229 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00092 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
template-newspaper 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 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.
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.
What it actually says
template-newspaper
Project-scoped skill for the in-repo exemplar at
projects/templates/template_newspaper/. Load this when working inside the project.
When to Use
- Working inside the
template_newspaperexemplar — running scripts, editing source, or regenerating outputs. - Forking this exemplar as the starting scaffold for a new research project.
- Validating that the exemplar's contracts (thin-orchestrator, layer boundaries, no-mocks testing) still hold after changes.
Quick Reference
# From the repository root
uv run pytest projects/templates/template_newspaper/tests --cov=projects/templates/template_newspaper/src --cov-fail-under=90
uv run python scripts/pipeline/stage_02_analysis.py --project templates/template_newspaper
uv run python scripts/pipeline/stage_03_render.py --project templates/template_newspaper
uv run python scripts/pipeline/stage_04_validate.py --project templates/template_newspaper
uv run python scripts/pipeline/stage_05_copy.py --project templates/template_newspaper
Pitfalls
- Keep scripts thin. Business logic belongs in
src/or sharedinfrastructure/, not inscripts/. - No mocks. All tests must use real data, real files, and real computation.
- Outputs are disposable. Never hand-edit
output/— regenerate from source and config. - Run from the repo root. Commands assume the template monorepo root
as working directory unless the child
AGENTS.mdstates otherwise.

What ships with it
2 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.
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.

template-newspaper is a skill published in the GitHub repository docxology/template (19 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 458 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
