SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Early-stage writing often stalls because ideas are forced into structure too soon. This Skill runs an open-ended interview that captures raw fragments—sentences, vignettes, half-thoughts, quotes—into one markdown file without imposing outlines or article structure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Fragment Mining: Interviews the user relentlessly about their topic and appends every usable idea to a single markdown document, separated by horizontal rules. - Leading Word Discovery: Pushes to coin compact metaphors or terms that can anchor the eventual piece's structure, transitions, and title. - Non-Destructive Editing: Re-reads the file before every write to preserve user edits, and supports commands like cutting, rewriting, or merging specific fragments. - Use Case: A writer exploring an essay topic talks through scattered observations; the Skill captures each one as it surfaces, building a novelist's-diary-style raw material file for later structuring. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start a fragment-mining session about your writing topic and tell it where to save the markdown file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I collect raw ideas before writing an article?

Start a fragment-mining session and talk freely about your topic. Each usable idea—sentences, vignettes, half-thoughts, quotes—is appended to a single markdown file separated by horizontal rules, with no structure imposed.

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.

Can I edit or delete fragments after they are saved?

Yes. You can say things like cut the last one, rewrite that one sharper, or merge those two at any time. The file is re-read before every write so your manual edits are preserved and never overwritten.

Does this skill create outlines or article structure?

No. Imposing phases, outlines, or article structure is explicitly out of scope. It is pure exploration; structuring the material belongs to a separate exploit-phase skill.

What is a leading word and why does it matter?

A leading word is a compact metaphor or coinage the whole piece can hang on, like tracer bullets or fog of war. Landing one during exploration shapes the structure, transitions, and title in later writing phases.
