What it does

Technical Articles is an agent skill from EpicenterHQ/epicenter. Technical articles and blog posts with honest trade-offs. Use when: "write a blog post", "draft an article", "write about this", creating articles in docs/articles/.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k 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. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first apps.

When your agent uses it

  • : write a blog post
  • Draft an article
  • Write about this
  • Creating articles in docs/articles/

Example prompts

  • “write a blog post”
  • “draft an article”
  • “write about this”
  • “/technical-articles”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Build the private model: ownership, boundaries, flow, good/bad examples, and durable rules.
  2. Turn that model into a public argument here: title, opening, section claims, rhythm, code, diagrams, and closing.
  3. Use writing-voice throughout as the house voice and final punctuation pass.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9cc65c3. 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:

    • bun

    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

Technical Articles loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,932 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~46
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,932 words (~3,403 tokens).

“All articles must follow writing-voice rules. This skill owns article shape; writing-voice owns house voice and punctuation.”
