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:

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

Write a Single Article

bun run src/index.ts write \
  --topic "The Future of AI in Healthcare" \
  --style technical \
  --length long \
  --output ./articles \
  --image

Batch Write Multiple Articles

bun run src/index.ts batch \
  --topics "Machine Learning" "Cloud Computing" "Cybersecurity" \
  --style blog \
  --output ./articles \
  --parallel 5 \
  --image

Configuration

Set up API keys as environment variables:

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_key    # Required
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key          # For image generation
export GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_key          # Alternative image provider
export XAI_API_KEY=your_xai_key                # Alternative image provider
