What problem does it solve? Turning a pile of raw notes, fragments, or a rough draft into a coherent article is hard to do alone — this Skill runs a structured, conversational shaping session that drafts openings, grows the piece paragraph by paragraph, and argues about format choices at every step. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Candidate Openings: Drafts 2-3 openings implying different theses and forces a deliberate choice that defines the article's direction. - Paragraph-by-Paragraph Growth: Pulls material from the raw pile, appends each agreed block to the article file immediately, and re-reads the file before every write to preserve user edits. - Format Deliberation: Argues out loud about prose vs. lists, tables vs. repeated structure, callouts, quotes, and code blocks so every format choice is defensible. - Use Case: You have a markdown file of unstructured conference notes and want to turn it into a publishable blog post — the Skill mines the pile, names gaps where material is missing, and builds the article iteratively with you. ## Quick Start Use the writing-shape skill to turn my raw notes file 'notes.md' into a publishable article saved to 'article.md'.
