SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writer pipelines often generate repeated Editor feedback on the first pass. This Skill defines a bounded preflight that captures the highest-signal Editor expectations in a shared checklist, preventing drift and reducing churn across drafts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Shared preflight checklist: a concise, high-signal set of Editor expectations that Writer uses every run.
  • Deterministic post-flight linting: after Writer completes, a Stage 5 linter checks for common blockers and quality signals.
  • Repair-first retry path: if the lint detects issues, a single precise repair attempt restores draft quality without rewriting the entire draft.
  • Lightweight artifact semantics: optionally persist a small writer-preflight.md artifact to surface results without bloating downstream pipelines.

Quick Start

Run the Writer stage with the shared preflight checklist to produce an Editor-aligned draft ready for handoff.

Frequently Asked Questions about Editor-Aligned Writer Preflight

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce editor feedback churn on first-pass drafts?▼

A preflight checklist prevents draft churn by capturing high-signal Editor expectations and applying them across Writer stages before drafting. This ensures the output aligns with editor-facing standards before handoff occurs.

How does a deterministic post-flight linter check draft quality?▼

A deterministic post-flight linter checks draft quality by running a Stage 5 check after the Writer completes. It scans for common blockers and quality signals to ensure the draft meets established editor-facing standards.

What is the best way to repair draft issues detected by a linter?▼

The best way to repair linter-detected draft issues is using a repair-first retry path. This executes a single precise repair attempt to restore draft quality without rewriting the entire draft from scratch.

Does the writer preflight pipeline persist artifacts for downstream visibility?▼

Yes, the writer preflight pipeline optionally persists a lightweight `writer-preflight.md` artifact. This file surfaces preflight results for downstream visibility without bloating the downstream pipeline.

When do I need a preflight checklist in a writer and linter workflow?▼

You need a preflight checklist in a writer and linter workflow when repeated Editor feedback occurs on first-pass drafts. It prevents drift across drafts by capturing high-signal expectations shared across Writer runs.
