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.

1. Research Agent - Gathers information and key points about the topic
2. Writer Agent - Creates a well-structured article based on the research
3. 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

Usage

bun run src/index.ts write \

Batch Write Multiple Articles
