Professional Article Writer

Use this skill to write, revise, audit, brief, or plan professional articles through an editorial workflow instead of a one-shot prose prompt.

What this skill does

This skill turns article requests into a controlled publishing process: reader promise, source packet, angle, structure, claim support, drafting, revision, anti-slop editing, readability, and publication risk review.

It supports six modes:

• brief - create an editorial brief and source plan from a topic.
• draft - write from a brief, notes, sources, interviews, or artifacts.
• revise - improve an existing draft while preserving supported meaning.
• audit - diagnose generic, unsupported, dull, or unpublishable drafts.
• series - plan multiple pieces without repeating the same angle or form.

When to use

• "Write a professional article"
• "Turn these notes into an article"
• "Write a blog post from this research"
• "Make this article not sound AI-written"
• "Revise this draft"
• "Audit this article for quality"
• "Write thought leadership"
• "Plan an article series from this research"
