huashu-topic-gen_skill

Overview

This skill generates 3–4 distinct article topic directions, each with a headline, outline, workload estimate, and honest pros/cons analysis. It is designed to quickly move from a saved brief to concrete, comparable options so the user can pick the best direction. It waits for the user to choose and does not assume a preferred option.

How this skill works

When triggered by keywords like “topic”, “what to write”, or “article direction”, the skill produces multiple angle-diverse topics (depth review, hands-on tutorial, insight/opinion, case breakdown). Each topic includes a catchy title, core angle, a 3–5 point outline, workload assessment, and clear advantages and disadvantages. The output is compact and ready for user selection or refinement.

When to use it

• After saving the brief or initial idea
• When the user asks for topic suggestions or asks “what to write”
• During the topic selection step of article planning
• When you need contrasting options with workload estimates
• When preparing an editorial meeting or content calendar

Best practices

• Provide a concise brief before requesting topics (audience, goal, constraints)
• Request 3–4 topics to ensure angle diversity
• Specify desired article length or format to calibrate workload
• Use the skill iteratively: pick one topic and ask for outline expansion
• Keep pros/cons realistic and linked to available resources

Example use cases

• You saved a product brief and need 3 viable article directions to discuss with editors
• You want quick options for a WeChat article: review, tutorial, opinion, or case study
• You need workload-aware topic suggestions to plan publishing schedule
• You’re preparing a pitch and need distinct titles and outlines to present to stakeholders
