What it does
Skill Article is an agent skill from aeonfun/aeon. Turn any skill in this instance into a publish-ready launch article - proof-stat headline, one contrarian thesis, mechanics, war stories from real run history, a mental-model reframe, and the full SKILL.md embedded verbatim so readers can steal it. Optional Higgsfield title banner with --banner.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Education, covering Essays and academic help. The repository describes itself as: The most autonomous AI agent framework: runs unattended on GitHub Actions, self-healing skills, drives Claude Code, Grok, Codex & more. No approval loops. Configure once, forget… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Essays and academic help
Example prompts
- “/skill-article”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f252074. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ghgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Skill Article loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,105 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

${var} — Selector:
<skill-name> [--brand <handle>] [--banner].
<skill-name>→ announce that skill (must exist underskills/<skill-name>/).- empty → pick the most article-worthy skill from the last 14 days of
memory/logs/: prefer a skill that shipped recently, produced verified output, or hit a milestone. If nothing qualifies, logSKILL_ARTICLE_NO_TARGET, send no notification, and exit clean.--brand <handle>anywhere → byline/handle for the outreach footer (default: this instance's public identity fromsoul/, else the repo's org).--banneranywhere → also generate one 16:9 title banner through the Higgsfield MCP (spends credits; see Step 5). Off by default - a blank run never spends.Examples:
"aeon-update","rug-scan --brand @myproject --banner".
Today is ${today}. Write a launch article for one skill, modeled on the security-industry "skill announcement" format: the article sells the insight the skill encodes, not the file - and then gives the file away.
Shared preamble
- Read
memory/MEMORY.mdand the last 14 days ofmemory/logs/- know what this skill has actually done. - If a
soul/directory exists, readsoul/SOUL.mdandsoul/STYLE.mdfor voice. Default voice: terse, declarative, builder-wrote-this-fast. - Read the target's full
skills/<name>/SKILL.md. Every claim in the article must trace to a line in it.
Step 1 — Mine the track record (real numbers only)
Hunt for countable proof before writing a word:
memory/logs/entries under the skill's### <name>headings: runs, OK/error statuses, notable outcomes.output/files the skill produced; PRs or issues it opened (gh pr list --search).git log -- skills/<name>/for ship date and iteration history.
A real stat ("84 verified findings", "31 runs, 0 false alarms") becomes the headline. If no real count exists, the headline uses the mechanism instead. Never invent a number - a fabricated stat is the one thing that kills this format.
Step 2 — Find the thesis
Answer: what does this skill see that the default workflow throws away? That gap is the thesis.
Write 3 candidate contrast pairs (two-sided sentences like "production code shows what the system does; tests show what its developers thought it did") and keep the sharpest. Everything in the article hangs on this one insight.
Step 3 — Collect war stories
1-3 concrete moments where the skill caught or produced something a naive approach would miss - pulled from memory/logs/ and output/, anonymized where needed, mechanism kept visible.
If the skill has no run history yet, write "how it plays out" scenarios and label them as scenarios. Never dress a hypothetical as a case study.
Step 4 — Write the article
Structure, in order:
- Headline:
<Skill Name>: <proof stat or mechanism claim>. Bold claim, not a setup. - Provenance (2 short paragraphs): what it is, where it runs, ship date, track record if real.
- Thesis section with a punchy heading (a claim, never a label): what everyone else's workflow misses.
- Mechanics (2-4 short paragraphs) built around the contrast pair.
- War stories: one mini-heading per story, 2-4 sentences each, ending with the generalized pattern ("The same blind spot appears when...").
- Reframe section: the mental-model shift the reader keeps even if they never run the skill.
- Ship it: where it lives + one-line CTA (star the upstream repo).
CODENAME: <Skill Name>: the target SKILL.md embedded verbatim in a fenced block (use a 4-backtick fence - skill files contain 3-backtick fences). Do not paraphrase or trim it.- Outreach footer: 1-2 sentences, DMs-open style, pointing at the brand handle.
Voice rules (the anti-tells)
- Short declarative sentences. Cut every sentence that only sets up the next one.
- Banned: "revolutionary", "game-changing", "unleash", "delve", "Let's dive in".
- No parallel-structure trios, no "not X, but Y" scaffolding.
- Section headings are claims or scenes ("There is an alpha in the test folder"), never labels ("Overview").
- Verify the repo/link in the CTA exists this run before naming it.
- Never reference private forks or internal accounts - describe this instance generically and point at the upstream/public repo.

Step 5 — Title banner (only with --banner)
Skip this step entirely unless --banner was passed. When it was:
- Check the connection first. If no
mcp__higgsfield__*tool is callable, the banner is skipped, not the article: notebanner: HIGGS_NOT_CONNECTEDfor the log, point the operator at the dashboard → MCP → Connect Higgsfield in the notify, and continue to Step 6. Same on 401/stale auth (banner: HIGGS_AUTH_STALE) or insufficient credits (banner: HIGGS_NO_CREDITS). The article never fails because the banner did. - Build the prompt from the thesis, not the feature list. The banner is a visual metaphor for the Step 2 contrast pair - the scene that makes the insight visible. Image models garble long text, so the only text allowed in the prompt is the skill's short name (or none); the headline lives in the article, not the pixels. Match
soul/aesthetic if it defines one; otherwise: clean, high-contrast, one focal object, no collage. - Generate exactly one image,
--ar 16:9, following thehiggsfieldskill's spend rules: one generation per run, one retry at most on a transient error, never re-submit a job that already succeeded. Poll to completion with a bounded number of polls; on timeout recordbanner: HIGGS_FAILEDand move on. - Capture the asset URL verbatim. Never fabricate one. Banner asset URLs may be time-limited signed URLs - flag that in the notify so the operator saves it.
Embed the result at the top of the article file, next to the alts block:
<!-- banner: <asset-url> · model: <model> · job: <id> -->Step 6 — Deliver
Write the article to
output/skill-articles/${today}-<skill-name>.md(shell redirection;mkdir -pfirst). Include an<!-- alts -->comment block at the top with 2 alternative headline + thesis-heading pairs so the operator can iterate without a rewrite.Notify with
./notify -f /tmp/skill-article-notify.md(write the body under/tmp/): the headline, the thesis in one line, whether the stats are real or the headline fell back to mechanism, the banner URL when one was generated (with a save-it note if the URL is signed/expiring), and a clickable link built from the run's environment:bash ARTICLE_URL="${GITHUB_SERVER_URL:-https://github.com}/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/blob/main/output/skill-articles/<file>.md"Log to
memory/logs/${today}.mdunder a### skill-articleheading: target skill, headline, thesis pair, stats-real-or-mechanism, output path, and - when--bannerwas passed - abanner:line (HIGGS_OK <url>|HIGGS_NOT_CONNECTED|HIGGS_AUTH_STALE|HIGGS_NO_CREDITS|HIGGS_FAILED|skipped). Status codes:SKILL_ARTICLE_OKon success,SKILL_ARTICLE_NO_TARGETwhen${var}was empty and nothing article-worthy exists,SKILL_ARTICLE_NOT_FOUNDwhen the named skill has noSKILL.md.
Limits
- This writes the article; it does not post it. Publishing is the operator's call (or a posting skill's, explicitly chained).
- The banner is opt-in and spends real Higgsfield credits - one image per run, hard cap, and its failure never blocks the article.
- Track-record mining is only as good as
memory/logs/- a skill that runs but never logs will read as unproven, and the article will say so rather than guess. - One skill per run. Announcing a pack is a different article; run once per skill instead.
