Editor-Aligned Writer Preflight

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.
