content-setup
Skill2 starsChanged 53 days agoMITView on GitHub
One-time setup for the content machine. Scaffolds your personal folder (profile, voice guide, content lessons, sources config), studies your top-performing posts to codify your voice, and wires your Oracle feeds. Run this before any other content-machine skill. Trigger phrases include "set up the content machine", "/content-setup".

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 14
If ~/.content-machine/redirect.md exists, its first line is the absolute path to the personal folder.
- Very specific: line 20
Ask where the personal folder should live (default ~/.content-machine/.
- Distinctive: line 26
Use AskUserQuestion / conversation to fill: who you are, role, company, what you're promoting (owned assets), anchor content formats, …
- Distinctive: line 29
Ask for the user's top-performing posts — pasted text, exported files, or profile URLs to fetch.
- Very specific: line 44
All personal files exist and contain no unfilled <placeholders>.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Content Setup — scaffold the personal layer
The machine is shared; your voice is not. This skill builds the personal folder every other skill reads from. Nothing in it goes back to the shared repo.
Personal folder resolution (convention used by every skill)
- If
~/.content-machine/redirect.mdexists, its first line is the absolute path to the personal folder. - Otherwise the personal folder is
~/.content-machine/.
Steps
1. Choose the location
Ask where the personal folder should live (default ~/.content-machine/; people with a notes vault often want it inside the vault). If non-default, create the folder there and write ~/.content-machine/redirect.md containing the path.
2. Scaffold from templates
Copy every file in templates/personal/ into the personal folder, plus create empty transcripts/, drafts/, and spike-vault.md.
3. Build profile.md (interview, don't guess)
Use AskUserQuestion / conversation to fill: who you are, role, company, what you're promoting (owned assets), anchor content formats, platforms, and the accounts/sites for the internet reader. Write answers into the template's sections.
4. Generate voice-guide.md (study, don't invent)
Ask for the user's top-performing posts — pasted text, exported files, or profile URLs to fetch. Minimum 10 posts; refuse to generate a voice guide from fewer — a voice guide built on 3 posts is fan fiction. From the corpus, extract:
- Executive summary of voice and tone
- Top 10 posts, quoted, each with one line on why it worked
- Hook formulas actually used (not generic hook advice)
- Content structures (how their pieces move)
- Language patterns: recurring phrases, profanity policy, emoji policy, sentence-length habits
- Core DNA and a #1 rule (Alex's: "write like you're texting a friend" — find theirs, don't copy his)
❌ "Your voice is authentic, direct, and engaging" — describes nobody. ✅ "You open 7 of your top 10 posts with a number. You never use exclamation points. Your average sentence is 11 words but you drop a 3-word fragment roughly every paragraph."
5. Wire sources.md
Fill the Oracle feed config: which internal systems the machine may scan (and which are off-limits — e.g., employer workspaces), the internet-reader account list from step 3, and an optional local slop-gate script path for the Allergist.
6. Verify
- All personal files exist and contain no unfilled
<placeholders>. voice-guide.mdquotes ≥ 10 real posts.sources.mdnames at least one internal source and one internet-reader source, and states any off-limits systems explicitly.
Setup is done when the verify checklist passes — then point the user at /oracle for their first run.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
