What it does

Article Writing is an agent skill from cohen-liel/hivemind. Write articles, guides, blog posts, tutorials, newsletter issues, and other long-form content in a distinctive voice derived from supplied examples or brand guidance. Use when the user wants polished written content longer than a paragraph, especially when voice consistency, structure, and credibility matter.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 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 Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing and Newsletters. The repository describes itself as: One prompt. A full AI engineering team. Go lie on the couch. 🧠. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants polished written content longer than a paragraph
  • Especially when voice consistency
  • Credibility matter

Example prompts

  • “/article-writing”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Lead with the concrete thing: example, output, anecdote, number, screenshot description, or code block.
  2. Explain after the example, not before.
  3. Prefer short, direct sentences over padded ones.
  4. Use specific numbers when available and sourced.
  5. Never invent biographical facts, company metrics, or customer evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 918dd9b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Article Writing loads about 786 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~786

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.

Article Writing

Write long-form content that sounds like a real person or brand, not generic AI output.

When to Activate

  • drafting blog posts, essays, launch posts, guides, tutorials, or newsletter issues
  • turning notes, transcripts, or research into polished articles
  • matching an existing founder, operator, or brand voice from examples
  • tightening structure, pacing, and evidence in already-written long-form copy

Core Rules

  1. Lead with the concrete thing: example, output, anecdote, number, screenshot description, or code block.
  2. Explain after the example, not before.
  3. Prefer short, direct sentences over padded ones.
  4. Use specific numbers when available and sourced.
  5. Never invent biographical facts, company metrics, or customer evidence.

Voice Capture Workflow

If the user wants a specific voice, collect one or more of:

  • published articles
  • newsletters
  • X / LinkedIn posts
  • docs or memos
  • a short style guide

Then extract:

  • sentence length and rhythm
  • whether the voice is formal, conversational, or sharp
  • favored rhetorical devices such as parentheses, lists, fragments, or questions
  • tolerance for humor, opinion, and contrarian framing
  • formatting habits such as headers, bullets, code blocks, and pull quotes

If no voice references are given, default to a direct, operator-style voice: concrete, practical, and low on hype.

Banned Patterns

Delete and rewrite any of these:

  • generic openings like "In today's rapidly evolving landscape"
  • filler transitions such as "Moreover" and "Furthermore"
  • hype phrases like "game-changer", "cutting-edge", or "revolutionary"
  • vague claims without evidence
  • biography or credibility claims not backed by provided context

Writing Process

  1. Clarify the audience and purpose.
  2. Build a skeletal outline with one purpose per section.
  3. Start each section with evidence, example, or scene.
  4. Expand only where the next sentence earns its place.
  5. Remove anything that sounds templated or self-congratulatory.

Structure Guidance

Technical Guides
  • open with what the reader gets
  • use code or terminal examples in every major section
  • end with concrete takeaways, not a soft summary
Essays / Opinion Pieces
  • start with tension, contradiction, or a sharp observation
  • keep one argument thread per section
  • use examples that earn the opinion
Newsletters
  • keep the first screen strong
  • mix insight with updates, not diary filler
  • use clear section labels and easy skim structure

Quality Gate

Before delivering:

  • verify factual claims against provided sources
  • remove filler and corporate language
  • confirm the voice matches the supplied examples
  • ensure every section adds new information
  • check formatting for the intended platform
