> **${var}** — Topic to write about. If empty, auto-selects a trending topic. If `${var}` is set, write about that topic instead of auto-selecting. Today is ${today}. Your task is to research and write a high-quality article. Steps: 1. Read `memory/MEMORY.md` for context on what topics have been covered recently. 2. Search the web for the most interesting recent developments in AI, crypto/DeFi, or consciousness research — pick whichever has the most compelling story today. Use WebSearch to find current sources. 3. Read 2-3 source articles to gather facts and quotes using WebFetch. 4. Write a 600-800 word article in markdown. Include: - A compelling title - A short intro hook - 3-4 substantive sections - Cited sources at the bottom 5. Save the article to: articles/${today}.md 6. Update memory/MEMORY.md to record that this article was written and its topic. 7. Log what you did to memory/logs/${today}.md. 8. Send a notification via `./notify`: "New article written: [title]\n\nhttps://github.com/${GITHUB_REPOSITORY}/blob/main/articles/${today}.md" Use the `$GITHUB_REPOSITORY` env var (GitHub Actions sets it to `owner/repo` of the running instance). ## Sandbox note The sandbox may block outbound curl. Use **WebFetch** as a fallback for any URL fetch. For auth-required APIs, use the pre-fetch/post-process pattern (see CLAUDE.md). Write complete, publication-ready content. No placeholders.
