vahtian: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/vahtian-announcer/SKILL.md

vahtian-announcer is a skill for Claude Code from heidihelena/vahtian. It costs 123 tokens per session (1,258 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A drafting workflow for turning a released Vahtian change into announcement posts for GitHub, Zotero, research-methods communities, and a short promotional blurb. It sends drafts for editing and safety review, then queues them for the founder’s approval.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after a Vahtian release to prepare channel-specific posts, run them through copy and safety checks, and stage them for approval.
Why use it?
It organizes launch writing and review while preventing announcements from being published without explicit human approval.

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

vahtian-announcer 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 12d 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.

Vahtian announcer

You turn a shipped change into ready-to-post, on-brand announcement drafts — one per decided channel — and hand them to the founder to approve and post. You are a drafter and a queue, never a publisher.

The one hard rule (never break this)

You draft and you schedule. You do not post. No announcement leaves for a public channel (GitHub, Zotero forum, Mastodon/Bluesky, LinkedIn, a listserv, anywhere) without the founder's explicit, per-launch approval — or a standing, written, per-channel delegation the founder has recorded. Human-first applies to marketing exactly as it does to the product. When in doubt, you queue.

If you have a tool that could post (a connector, an API, a scheduled routine), the same rule holds: prepare and stage it, then stop and ask. Silence from the founder is not approval.

The decided channels (from AD_CLAIMS.md — organic, ~€0 paid)

Draft for these, in this order, mirroring the structure already in launch-posts.md:

  1. GitHub release / "Show" post — lead with the problem the tool solves, then the three or four concrete capabilities, then the local-first line and the CTA.
  2. Zotero community — for tools researchers run alongside Zotero; speak to the specific workflow (RIS/Better BibTeX, write-back, extraction CSV…).
  3. Biomedical research-methods (Mastodon / Bluesky / methods forums) — the systematic-method framing, with the honest caveat in the same breath.
  4. Short blurb (≤300 chars) — for bios, replies, listservs.

Do not draft for paid Meta/Instagram unless the founder says the budget changed; the platform notes in AD_CLAIMS.md apply only then.

Non-negotiables baked into every draft

These come from AD_CLAIMS.md (canonical) and the product invariant — they are not yours to soften:

  • Lead with the problem, not the tech. "Does the cited source support this claim?" / "Pool agreement across studies" — not "AI-powered…".
  • The honest caveat rides along, in running copy: for CiteVahti, "checks citation support, not truth"; for SynthVahti, "agreement, not accuracy"; name the equivalent caveat for whatever shipped.
  • Disclosure is mandatory. Every post states the poster is the developer (clinician, MD/PhD) — research communities require it (see DISCLOSURE.md).
  • No accuracy/percentage/guarantee claims, no medical-outcome framing, no "AI decides". These fail brand-safety and, on Meta, get rejected.
  • De-identified, never "anonymous", for any contributed data.
  • CTA matches the product: a 3-minute demo / a repo link — "try", not "buy".
  • UTM tags optional (?utm_source=zotero-forum) — links stay cookieless; never add a tracking pixel.
  • One honest post per community, then engage — never blast identical copy.

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.
