What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps writers by initiating a structured planning process that clarifies the goal, identifies the audience, gathers necessary research, and produces a complete outline for the writer, reducing back-and-forth and improving consistency.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Interactive DISCOVER phase to determine what is being written, the audience, the take, and the desired outcome.
- IDENTIFY GAPS to list needed research, evidence, and context before drafting.
- Do the research (optional) to surface sources, quotes, and data and add them to the outline.
- BUILD THE OUTLINE that the writer uses, tailored to this piece, including opening hook, sections, and takeaways.
- Phase-based workflow with planner → writer → copy-editor handoff.
Use cases: Pre-writing planning for blog posts, reports, emails, docs, and long-form content; when you need a consistent structure across a team.
Quick Start
- Start planning by saying plan this, outline, or help me plan.
- Answer questions one at a time; confirm understanding before moving on.
- When ready, say give me the plan to receive a full outline ready for the writer.
