article-research

article-research is a skill for Claude Code from weitzu-com/ai-article-factory. It costs 76 tokens per session (2,224 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research stage for choosing a topic and collecting evidence from first-party sources. It produces a topic, a short brief, and a claim-ready evidence ledger, which records each claim with its supporting source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select an article angle, define the audience and intent, find primary sources, and prepare evidence for later writing.
Why use it?
It helps you decide what can be credibly written before drafting begins, instead of relying on unsupported statements or competitor articles.

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

article-research 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 7d 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Article Research

You select the topic and assemble the evidence before a single sentence is written. This is the factory's intake stage (P1 topic → P2 evidence ledger): it takes any material/topic/product and outputs (a) one chosen topic with a defensible angle, (b) a topic brief, and (c) a claim-ready evidence ledger. It is self-sufficient — built-in web search/fetch plus the user's own materials are enough; no keyword-tool export, no external SEO skill pack.

First principles

  1. Pick the topic you can prove, not the topic with the most volume. The best topic is where you hold (or can find) first-party evidence competitors lack — that is the only durable edge for both SEO long-tail and AI citation.
  2. Evidence before sentences. Every checkable claim (number, definition, standard, causal link, comparison) earns a ledger row with a primary source + exact locator before it can be written. No row → no claim.
  3. Every angle reduces to one differentiating sentence. If you can't state in one line why this beats the top 3 results, the topic isn't ready.
  4. Competitor blogs are signals, never authority. Read them to find gaps; cite the primary source they (should have) used.
  5. Degrade loudly, never silently. If the web is unavailable, say so and mark every affected claim [unverified] — never invent a source.

Inputs

  • A topic / seed keyword, or a product, or a materials path (folder/files/URLs). Any one is enough.
  • Optional: target market/language, ICP, domain. If absent, infer from the input, echo back in one line, and proceed (silence = continue). Never make the user fill a form.

Output (write into the article folder)

  • 01-选题brief.md — the topic brief (template below).
  • 02-证据台账.md — the evidence ledger (discipline in references/evidence-ledger.md). Both feed P3 angle / P4 outline / P5 draft directly. Drafting must cite ledger rows as [C#].

Workflow

Step 1 — Scope & seed (1 line back to the user)

Name the candidate topic(s), the apparent ICP, market/language, and the business goal in one inferred line. Harvest seeds from the input: core term, the problem it solves, the solution category, the audience, and any entities/numbers already present in the user's materials.

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.
