SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you break through the blank-page problem by capturing messy, promising writing pieces as raw material before you impose any structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fragment grilling session: interviews you relentlessly to extract heterogeneous “fragments” like sharp sentences, claims, vignettes, quotes, lists of observations, and half-thoughts.
  • Single living document: appends accepted fragments into one Markdown file that you can edit during the session, preserving your changes by re-reading before every write.
  • No premature structure: explicitly avoids outlines, theses, audience decisions, transitions, and “finished prose” so ideation stays unblocked.
  • File-init discipline: on the first write, creates a Markdown file with only a single H1 working title and otherwise leaves the body free-form, using --- separators between fragments.

Quick Start

Tell the Skill you want to write about a topic and ask it to run a grilling session that appends fragments into a single Markdown document at a path you provide.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture raw writing fragments for an article without creating an outline?

To capture raw writing fragments without an outline, you can use an ideation session that interviews you relentlessly to extract heterogeneous nuggets like sharp sentences, claims, and vignettes. It appends accepted pieces directly to a single Markdown file separated by horizontal rules.

What is fragment mining for content drafting and how does it work?

Fragment mining is an ideation technique that extracts raw material for a future article by conducting a relentless interview. It captures half-thoughts and observations into a free-form Markdown document, explicitly avoiding premature structure like theses or transitions.

Can I edit the Markdown file while the writing ideation session is still running?

Yes, you can edit the Markdown file during the ideation session. The process preserves your changes by re-reading the document before every write, ensuring your manual edits are never overwritten when new fragments are appended.

How do I start a creative brainstorming session that saves raw material to Markdown?

To start a creative brainstorming session, provide a topic and a file path. The session creates a Markdown file with a single H1 working title on the first write, then uses horizontal rules to separate the extracted writing fragments in the body.

When should I avoid using structured outlines for content ideation?

You should avoid structured outlines during content ideation when you want to break through the blank-page problem. Extracting raw fragments first keeps ideation unblocked by explicitly delaying audience decisions, transitions, and finished prose.
