Overview

This skill is an AI-assisted writing workflow that guides you through four stages—Learn → Structure → Write → Finalize—to produce focused, coherent articles while keeping you in control. It combines Socratic dialogue to surface ideas, structured planning to map content, iterative writing and polishing, and a final assembly step to produce a publishable draft. The system is suited for bloggers, report authors, and anyone who wants AI help without ceding authorship.

How this skill works

After you give a topic, the skill enters a learning phase that prompts questions to surface core viewpoints and creates compact knowledge cards. In the structure phase it analyzes those cards and proposes 2–3 article frameworks, letting you pick and split content into output nodes. The writing phase deepens and polishes each node through iteration, fact-check flags, and language refinement. Finally, the finalize phase stitches nodes into a coherent draft with hooks, transitions, and optional summaries.

When to use it

• You have an idea but don’t know how to organize it into an article or report.
• You want iterative, conversational brainstorming to surface unique insights.
• You need a clear structure before committing to full writing.
• You prefer AI assistance for drafting and polishing while retaining final decisions.
• You have a rough draft that requires targeted iteration and fact/flow checks.

Best practices

• Start with a clear topic sentence or question to focus learning prompts.
• Use the learning phase to capture user quotes and unique examples for voice.
• Choose a structure pattern (problem-solution, comparison, progression) that matches your goal.
• Iterate per-node—polish small sections before assembling the whole draft.
• Keep final decisions human-led: review transitions and calls-to-action before publishing.

Example use cases

• Write a comparative blog post (e.g., two AI models) by extracting distinct viewpoints during learning and mapping them into a comparison structure.
• Turn scattered notes into a coherent report by skipping learning, using structure mode to plan, then iterating each section.
• Brainstorm social-media-ready quotes and hooks from the learning cards for promotional posts.
• Polish an existing draft by entering write/iterate mode to run fact flags, tighten logic, and improve flow.
• Produce a publishable article: complete all stages to get a hooked intro, structured body, transitions, and a call-to-action.
