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 an exploratory interview session that mines unstructured fragments—sentences, claims, vignettes, metaphors—from conversation and appends them to a markdown file, deferring all outlining and structure to a later phase. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fragment Mining: Interviews the user relentlessly about their topic and captures any text that might survive into the final piece, from sharp sentences to half-thoughts. - Leading Word Discovery: Pushes to coin compact metaphors or terms that can anchor the entire piece's structure, transitions, and title later. - Append-Only Markdown Log: Writes fragments separated by horizontal rules into a single file with one H1 working title, re-reading the file before every write to preserve user edits. - Use Case: A writer wants to draft an essay about debugging culture but has no outline. The Skill grills them conversationally, silently appending every usable observation, anecdote, and coinage to fragments.md for later structuring. ## Quick Start Start a fragment-mining session about my essay topic and save everything we uncover to fragments.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather raw material before writing an article?▼

Run an exploratory interview session that captures fragments—sentences, claims, vignettes, half-thoughts—as they emerge in conversation. Each fragment is appended to a markdown file separated by horizontal rules, with no outline or structure imposed.

What is a writing fragment in this workflow?▼

A fragment is any text that might survive into the final piece and is readable by its author, such as a sharp sentence, a claim with justification, a quote, or a leading word. It does not need to be self-contained or comprehensible to a cold reader.

Can I edit or delete fragments after they are saved?▼

Yes, you can edit the markdown file directly between turns or issue commands like cut the last one, rewrite that one sharper, or merge those two. The file is re-read from disk before every write so manual edits are preserved.

When should I not use fragment-based exploration?▼

Avoid it when you already know your structure and need to draft or refine prose, since imposing phases, outlines, or article structure is explicitly out of scope. Fragment mining is the explore phase; committing to structure belongs to a separate exploit-phase skill.
