Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00085 | $0.02593 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01296 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00519 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00259 |
Grade A, and why
syft-storyline-tree 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 342 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Syft Storyline Tree
Use this skill when the user wants a relationship-first view instead of a flat news list.
Inputs
Prefer to have one of:
- an aggregated daily news pool
- a finished daily briefing
- both
Also load:
profiles/profile_summary.mdprofiles/following_topics.md- optional confirmed guidance rules
- optional heuristic
profiles/raw_interest_block.txtif one was derived from follows
What this skill produces
Create:
storylines/storyline_tree_<date>.mdstorylines/storyline_tree_<date>.htmlstorylines/storyline_tree_<date>.json- optionally
storylines/storyline_notes_<date>.md
These are final-facing deliverables, not rough drafts. The visible outputs should read like editorial products a real user can browse directly. Do not leak retrieval bookkeeping, query wording, internal route notes, or draft-stage shorthand into the final prose.
Core model
Do not flatten everything into one list. Organize information into:
- facts
- events
- branches
- trunks
Each trunk should explain one structural storyline. Each branch should represent one interpretable angle attached to that trunk, such as:
- structural driver
- market validation
- policy or military signal
- personal-interest side branch
- cultural or community branch
- merch / collab / official release branch
- destination / seasonal-experience branch
Build order
- Identify 3 to 8 candidate trunks from the cleaned pool.
- Test whether each candidate really deserves trunk status.
- Only then create branches.
- Only after the tree is coherent should you consider extra topic-top or search-based extension.
Do not start by creating many branches and hoping a trunk appears later.
Tree identity rule
The tree is not a bag of interesting topics. It is a stable editorial ontology for this user's day.
That means:
- do not let every search hit create a new trunk
- do not re-taxonomize the whole tree just because one narrow cluster became temporarily dense
- do not replace a high-quality existing trunk structure with a noisier and more fragmented one unless the evidence clearly demands a regime shift
What ships with it
3 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.

syft-storyline-tree is a skill published in the GitHub repository Solatrader/syft-news-skills (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 2,593 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
