SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a pile of raw notes and research into a coherent article is hard because writers often introduce concepts before readers are ready for them. This Skill structures the drafting process as a guided, beat-by-beat journey where every concept is grounded before it is used. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Beat-by-Beat Drafting: Writes one beat at a time, offering 2-3 candidate next beats at each step so the user chooses the article's direction. - Concept Grounding Tracking: Maintains a running list of grounded concepts, ensuring no beat depends on ideas the reader has not yet encountered. - Prerequisite Negotiation: Establishes upfront what readers already know, balancing accessibility against excessive in-article definitions. - Use Case: You have a markdown file of raw research notes for a technical blog post. The Skill proposes candidate opening beats, writes your choice to the article file, then iteratively offers next beats until the article reaches a natural ending. ## Quick Start Use the writing-beats skill to turn my raw notes file into an article, one beat at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions about writing-beats

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn raw notes into a structured article with AI?▼

Provide a markdown file of raw material and the skill runs a beat-by-beat journey: it proposes 2-3 candidate beats at each step, writes your chosen beat to the article file, and repeats until the article reaches a natural ending.

What is concept grounding in article writing?▼

Grounding means every concept must be established before any beat relies on it, either as a reader prerequisite or introduced by an earlier beat. The skill maintains a running list of grounded concepts and only offers beats reachable from that set.

Can I edit beats the AI has already written?▼

Yes. The skill re-reads the article file from disk before each write and preserves your edits. If you substantially change a beat, subsequent beat suggestions adapt to your revised direction.

Does the writing process use all of my raw material?▼

No. The article ends when the journey is complete, not when the material pile is exhausted. Leftover fragments are expected, since the raw material acts as a quarry rather than a checklist.

When is beat-by-beat writing not the right approach?▼

It is less suitable when you need a complete draft in one pass or when the structure is already fixed, such as filling a rigid template. The interactive loop trades speed for control over narrative direction.
