What it does

Editorial Document is an agent skill from Sidiora-Labs/centra-gideon-agent. Write long-form editorial documents as clean, semantic HTML saved as an artifact (kind=document) — reports, briefs, explainers, proposals, write-ups. Covers the house style (structure, voice, typography) AND the security contract (the HTML is sanitized fail-closed, so author within the allowlist). Load when the user wants a polished written document, report, brief, or explainer that should read like a publication, not a chat message.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Frontend & Design, covering Proposals and quotes and Typography. The repository describes itself as: The companion AI agent that learns, adapts and gets the work done no matter the task. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants a polished written document
  • Explainer that should read like a publication
  • Not a chat message

Example prompts

  • “/editorial-document”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm a document is right (a written piece to be read, not interactive).
  2. Draft semantic HTML within the allowlist; structure with headings + the lede.
  3. artifact_save(kind="document", name="…", content=) (or artifact_update
  4. The user reads it, edits the HTML with live preview, comments on passages (those

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2176d5b. 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 (its code samples are html).

    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

Editorial Document loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 114 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~114
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Editorial Documents

Gideon renders long-form written documents from semantic HTML, saved as an artifact with kind=document. Unlike a widget (interactive HTML in a sandboxed iframe) or markdown, a document is prose-first editorial HTML rendered in the page with a tuned reading type scale — it should read like a published piece.

Save with artifact_save(kind="document", name="…", content=<HTML>). The body is HTML (semantic tags, no <html>/<body> wrapper needed — just the content). The viewer renders it with the editorial stylesheet, lets the user edit the HTML with a live split preview, comment on any passage, and export it (standalone HTML / copy).

When to use this vs other types

  • Document — a written piece meant to be read: reports, briefs, explainers, proposals, post-mortems, design write-ups. Prose is the substance.
  • Markdown — quick notes / READMEs / chat-adjacent text where Markdown's shorthand is enough and you don't need editorial typography.
  • Widget (visual-output skill) — interactive HTML, dashboards, custom charts.
  • Infographic (infographic-syntax skill) — structured visual info-design.

The security contract (author within the allowlist)

The document body is sanitized fail-closed before rendering: anything not on the allowlist is dropped. This is a security control because the content may echo untrusted material (e.g. crawled pages). Author accordingly:

  • Allowed: semantic prose + structure — headings (h1–h6), p, ul/ol/ li, blockquote, pre/code, table/thead/tbody/tr/th/td, figure/figcaption, img, a, strong/em, hr, section/article, inline svg for simple diagrams.
  • Dropped (don't bother emitting): <script>, <style>, <iframe>, <object>, <form>, inline event handlers (onclick=…), inline style= attributes, and javascript:/data:text/html URLs. Links must be http(s), mailto:, tel:, relative, or #anchors; data:image/* is allowed for inline images.
  • Don't fight the sanitizer with inline styles — the editorial stylesheet handles typography. Write clean structure and let it style.

House style

Structure. Open with an <h1> title and a one-paragraph lede that states the point. Use <h2> for major sections, <h3> for sub-sections. Prefer short sections with descriptive headings over one long wall. Close with a clear takeaway or next-steps section when the piece calls for it.

Voice. Direct and concrete. Lead with the conclusion, then support it (BLUF). Active voice. Cut filler ("it should be noted that", "in order to"). One idea per paragraph; 2–4 sentences each.

Evidence. Use <table> for comparisons/data, <ul> for parallel points, a <blockquote> for a pulled quote or key caveat. Link sources with real <a href>. Use <figure> + <figcaption> for images/diagrams.

Typography. Don't hand-set fonts/sizes/colors — the reader stylesheet owns the type scale (heading hierarchy, a measure of roughly 75 characters, readable line-height) and is theme-aware. Your job is correct semantics; the styling follows.

Example

html
<h1>Q3 Reliability Review</h1>
<p>Availability held at 99.95% despite a 40% traffic increase — but two incidents
share a root cause we haven't fixed. This brief lays out what happened and the one
change that closes both.</p>

<h2>What happened</h2>
<p>…</p>
<table>
  <thead><tr><th>Incident</th><th>Duration</th><th>Root cause</th></tr></thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td>Aug 12 latency</td><td>34 min</td><td>Connection-pool exhaustion</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Sep 3 errors</td><td>18 min</td><td>Connection-pool exhaustion</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

<h2>The fix</h2>
<blockquote>One change — bounded pools with backpressure — removes the shared cause.</blockquote>
<p>…</p>

Workflow

  1. Confirm a document is right (a written piece to be read, not interactive).
  2. Draft semantic HTML within the allowlist; structure with headings + the lede.
  3. artifact_save(kind="document", name="…", content=<HTML>) (or artifact_update a prior one — artifact_list first, per the artifacts skill).
  4. The user reads it, edits the HTML with live preview, comments on passages (those route back to you), and can export a standalone HTML file.

Pitfalls

  • Don't emit <script>/<style>/inline style=/onclick= — they're stripped.
  • Don't wrap the body in <widget> — kind=document is its own type.
  • Don't hand-style — semantics + the reader stylesheet, not inline CSS.
  • Keep links to safe schemes (http(s)/mailto/tel/relative/#).
