SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Early-stage writing often stalls because authors try to impose structure before they have raw material. This Skill runs a relentless interview that mines ideas, sentences, vignettes, and coinages from conversation and saves them as unstructured fragments, deferring all outlining and structure to a later phase. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fragment Mining via Interview: Grills the user about their topic and captures anything that might survive into the final piece—sharp sentences, claims, anecdotes, quotes, half-thoughts, and leading metaphors. - Append-Only Markdown Capture: Writes fragments to a single markdown file separated by horizontal rules, re-reading the file before every write to preserve user edits. - Leading Word Discovery: Pushes to coin a compact term or metaphor when the conversation circles a recurring idea, creating a load-bearing concept for later structuring. - Use Case: A writer wants to draft an essay about debugging culture but has no outline. They start a session, talk freely, and end up with a file of 20 fragments—including a coined phrase—that a later structuring skill can organize into an article. ## Quick Start Start a writing-fragments session and tell the agent the topic you want to explore, specifying the markdown file where fragments should be saved.

FAQPage Schema
How do I collect ideas for an article before outlining?

Run an exploratory interview session that captures fragments—sentences, claims, anecdotes, and metaphors—into a single markdown file. Structure and outlining are intentionally deferred to a separate later phase.

What is a writing fragment in this workflow?

A fragment is any text that might survive into the final piece: a sharp sentence, a claim with justification, a vignette, a quote, or a half-thought. It must be readable by the author but need not be self-contained for a cold reader.

What file format does the fragment document use?

Fragments live in one markdown file with a single H1 working title at the top. Fragments are separated by horizontal rules, with no headings, tags, metadata, or ordering beyond insertion order.

Can I edit or delete fragments during a session?

Yes. Commands like "cut the last one", "rewrite that one sharper", or "merge those two" are treated as first-class instructions. The file is re-read before every write so manual edits are never overwritten.

When should I not use fragment-based exploration?

Avoid it when you already know the structure and need to draft or refine a finished piece. Fragment mining is the explore phase; imposing outlines or article structure belongs to a separate exploit-phase skill.
