What problem does it solve? Drafting long-form prose often produces generic, AI-sounding text with weak structure and unearned claims. This Skill runs a structured pipeline that interviews the writer, negotiates an outline, enforces a throughline, drafts, runs a panel of specialized critics, and applies finishing passes so the final piece is specific, rigorous, and in the writer's voice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-phase pipeline: Interview, outline, throughline gate (10-word compression), draft, panel review, and finishing, with resumable state per project. - Format-aware branching: Narrative formats (essay, blog, talk, newsletter), analytical formats (memo, briefing, announcement) routed through a Pyramid Principle pipeline, and technical formats (tutorial, how-to, reference, explanation) delegated to a tech-doc pipeline. - Critic panel and finishing passes: Seven parallel critics (Hemingway, Hitchcock, Mom reader, Asshole reader, Clarity, Usage, Steel-man, plus Smart-Brevity for memo/newsletter/announcement) and sequential finishing passes (AI-pattern detector, style enforcer, line editor, Sedaris or analytical voice). - Use Case: Ask the agent to write a memo about a Q3 roadmap decision; it runs pyramid intake and construction, drafts directive prose, gets critiqued by eight reviewers, and finishes with an executive-voice pass. ## Quick Start Use the writing skill to draft an essay about why spec-driven development works, starting from an interview and ending with a finished draft.
