Article Writer Skill
This skill spawns parallel AI agents to research and write articles on any topic. Each article goes through a multi-phase pipeline:
This CLI is API-backed. Set SKILLS_API_KEY when routing through the hosted skills/connectors runtime; provider-specific keys are managed by that runtime.
- Research Agent - Gathers information and key points about the topic
- Writer Agent - Creates a well-structured article based on the research
- Image Agent (optional) - Generates a cover image for the article
Features
- Write single articles or batch process multiple topics
- Configurable writing styles (blog, technical, news, academic, casual)
- Adjustable article lengths (short, medium, long)
- Optional cover image generation (OpenAI DALL-E, Google Imagen, xAI Aurora)
- Parallel processing for batch operations
- Markdown output with YAML frontmatter
- Automatic directory creation
