Turn an agent skill into an article

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.

What it does

Skill Article is an aeon skill: 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. Like every aeon skill it is one SKILL.md prompt file that runs unattended on your own GitHub Actions, on a schedule or when you trigger it, and sends what it finds to Telegram, Discord, Slack or email.

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.

Input: the var setting

Every aeon skill takes one optional text input, var, set in aeon.yml or typed in when you run it by hand. It picks the target or the mode for that run.

Selector: <skill-name> [--brand <handle>] [--banner].

  • <skill-name> → announce that skill (must exist under skills/<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, log SKILL_ARTICLE_NO_TARGET, send no notification, and exit clean.
  • --brand <handle> anywhere → byline/handle for the outreach footer (default: this instance's public identity from soul/, else the repo's org).
  • --banner anywhere → 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".

What it needs

No extra API keys or MCP servers. It runs on the model you connected to aeon (a Claude subscription token, an API key, or another login).

Install and run it

Easiest: open Aeon Connect, sign in with GitHub and turn on Skill Article. No clone, no terminal. To add it to an existing aeon repo from a shell, run:

bin/add-skill aeonfun/aeon skill-article

Then switch it on in aeon.yml (the default schedule is filled in):

skills:
  skill-article: { enabled: true, schedule: "workflow_dispatch", var: "" }
