What problem does it solve? Dense, information-rich Japanese writing often reads as flat and boring because every sentence 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, assertion, re-observation) and as management of unresolved tension, so articles and explanatory chapters keep readers moving forward. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Rhythm design rules: Defines sentence-level beats (short setup, long flow, short stop), paragraph density waveforms, and alternation between assertion and hesitation. - Tension management: Requires at least one open question or unverified conviction at all times, with explicit recovery of raised questions and a tension ledger check. - Filler detection: Provides a single test (does the sentence update the situation or the document?) to distinguish intentional looseness from meta-commentary filler, plus a five-step mechanical post-writing inspection procedure. - Use Case: Diagnose a technically correct but dull explanatory article, identify missing tension and flat rhythm, and rewrite openings, section entries, and endings accordingly. ## Quick Start Use the cognitive-rhythm-writing skill to review and revise my Japanese article draft so it has varied pacing and sustained tension.
