What problem does it solve? Dense, information-rich Japanese writing often reads as flat and boring because every paragraph is written in the same cognitive mode. This Skill treats pacing not as decoration but as deliberate switching of the reader's cognitive modes (observation, hesitation, conviction, re-observation) and management of unresolved tension, so explanatory articles and chapters keep readers moving forward. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Sentence and paragraph rhythm design: Defines the beat pattern of short anchor sentences, flowing long sentences, and stopping sentences, plus density waveforms alternating dense and sparse paragraphs. - Tension ledger and recovery: Keeps at least one unresolved question or expectation open at all times, with explicit rules for recovering questions and landing abstractions onto concrete scenes at the close. - Flab vs. filler detection: Provides a single test—does a sentence update the situation or the document—to identify and delete meta-commentary, progress announcements, and self-referential filler, plus a five-step mechanical post-draft inspection procedure. - Use Case: When a technical article or essay is accurate but dull, apply the diagnostic table to map symptoms (uniform tone, cold theory sections, preachy endings) to concrete fixes. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to diagnose and revise your Japanese explanatory article using the cognitive-rhythm-writing guidelines, then run the post-draft inspection checklist on the result.
