## What it does

The skill inspects chain outputs in `output/.chains/` alongside recent entries in `memory/logs/`. It pulls named entities, protocols, and themes while ignoring housekeeping routines like `heartbeat` or `aeon-update`. The goal is pinpointing subjects that distinct operational lanes flag simultaneously.

Each surfaced entity receives points based on source diversity. Mentioning across three distinct categories boosts the score, whereas single-category mentions get penalized. If a topic appeared in `output/articles/` during the past 7 days, the skill suppresses it. Without populated logs or chain outputs from multiple skills, the tool finds nothing to compare.

Surviving leads get synthesized into draft write angles and opening hooks, adopting the tone from `soul/STYLE.md` if configured. Everything writes to `memory/topics/convergence-signals.md` for subsequent editorial steps.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill narrative-convergence -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/narrative-convergence/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/narrative-convergence/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill narrative-convergence -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/narrative-convergence/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill narrative-convergence -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/narrative-convergence/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install aeonfun/aeon narrative-convergence
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/narrative-convergence/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill narrative-convergence -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon --path skills/narrative-convergence
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/narrative-convergence/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add aeonfun/aeon --skill narrative-convergence -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- detect emerging themes across decoupled agent feeds
- filter out topics covered in articles over the last 7 days
- score signals by cross-category diversity over 48 hours
- draft high-signal story hooks matching custom voice guidelines

## Example prompts
- Run narrative-convergence across recent chain outputs
- Check narrative convergence with filter "Anthropic"
- Scan memory logs for cross-skill topic overlap

> **${var}** — Optional entity or theme filter (e.g. "Anthropic", "coordination markets"). If empty, scans all skill output categories.

Today is ${today}. Read `memory/MEMORY.md` before starting.

## Voice

If `soul/SOUL.md` and `soul/STYLE.md` exist and are populated, read them and match the operator's voice when drafting the write angles and hook lines (step 5) and the notification. Otherwise use a clear, direct, neutral tone — short, declarative, position-first.

## Why this skill exists

`narrative-tracker` follows narratives inside one feed (crypto X) and tracks their phase. It works well when the narrative is already named.

This skill does something different: it detects **emergent cross-skill convergence** — when independent operational skills (security scanners, market trackers, sector pulses, etc.) all surface the same entity, company, protocol, or theme within 48h, without any prior coordination. That kind of convergence is a higher-signal indicator than any single source — it often precedes a breakout narrative. Example: a security skill flags a company's automated-vulnerability work, a social digest catches that same company announcing a major deal, and a market tracker notes a related fraud-prevention win — three independent skills, one entity, in 48h. That bleedthrough is the signal. This skill catches it automatically.

## Config

The signal-category map is **operator-editable** and lives in `memory/topics/signal-categories.md`. If the file doesn't exist, create the seed below and continue. The categories are what let the skill measure *cross-category* diversity (the core of the convergence score) — edit them to match the skills you actually run.

```markdown
# Signal Categories

## Housekeeping (excluded — no external signals)
heartbeat, memory-flush, aeon-doctor, aeon-update, auto-merge,
skill-health, skill-repair, self-improve, operator-scorecard,
