SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a spoken dictation into a written post without silently rewriting the speaker's voice is hard: transcripts repeat, skip links, and stop mid-argument. This Skill produces a post that stays faithful to the recording while documenting every departure, so nothing is quietly rewritten. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Faithful post drafting: Writes the post as copy-exact text (one unwrapped line per paragraph in a text fence) following the recording's order, argument, and phrasing. - Seams table: Logs every departure from the recording — additions, cuts, reduced repetitions — in a ## Швы table so the operator can review or revert each one. - Open questions section: Records anything the draft could not settle under ## Открытые вопросы. - Use Case: After agreeing on a transcribed dictation about agentic coding, invoke the Skill to produce writing/<project>/drafts/<slug>.md containing the publishable post plus a full audit trail of every edit made. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /dictation-to-post on your agreed dictation file to generate the post draft with its seams table.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn a dictation transcript into a blog post?

Run the Skill on an agreed dictation file with /dictation-to-post <dictation file>. It writes a draft to writing/<project>/drafts/<slug>.md containing the post as copy-exact text plus a table of every departure from the recording.

What input does the dictation-to-post workflow require?

It requires an agreed dictation — a transcript the operator has already reviewed and corrected. It never works from raw audio, recognizer output, or an unreviewed transcript, because errors in the recording carry silently into the post.

Can the post add sentences the speaker never said?

Only in a narrow case: restoring a link the speaker clearly reasoned through but left unvoiced. Adding conclusions, morals, or opinions the speaker did not reach is forbidden, and every licensed addition must appear in the seams table.

What is the seams table in a post draft?

The seams table (## Швы) lists every place the draft departs from the recording — additions, cuts, or reduced repetitions — with one row per change. It exists so the operator can review and revert any edit, and rows are removed once ruled on.

When should I not use dictation-to-post?

Do not use it on raw recognizer output or unreviewed transcripts, and do not use it to heavily rewrite, tighten, or restructure the material. If the goal is a polished article rather than a faithful written version of speech, a different writing workflow fits better.
