    Sourced Drafting Companion

    Example session with this skill installed

    I'm writing a ~1,200-word newsletter piece arguing that small engineering teams move faster because coordination costs drop, not because of headcount. My readers are engineering managers. My rough notes are in notes/small-teams.md, and two paragraphs from my last issue for tone are in voice-sample.md. Can you build an outline that flags research gaps, draft three opening options and tell me which is strongest, then review my first section for unsupported claims and suggest edits that don't flatten my voice? Keep all citations numbered.

    Summary

    Outline, evidence ledger, and three openings for your small-teams newsletter piece. Two claims need sourcing before drafting; every suggested edit was checked against voice-sample.md.

    Openings

    1. Scenario: "A two-person squad shipped a billing fix before the larger team finished scheduling kickoff."
    2. Reframing: "Small teams aren't faster because they're small. They're faster when coordination taxes disappear."
    3. Tension: "The bottleneck isn't headcount — it's how many approvals a tiny decision has to survive."

    Option 2 is strongest for an EM audience: concrete, arguable, and it previews the thesis without hype.

    Next steps

    • Source or soften the ownership claim before Section 2
    • Draft Sections 1–2 against outline.md, keeping evidence.md in sync
    • Run the final audit pass (citations, links, overclaims, voice check) when draft.md is complete

    About this skill

    The problem

    Writing persuasive, research-backed content is slow. Drafts often suffer from structural gaps, unsupported claims, and a generic AI tone that dilutes the author's original voice.

    What it does

    • Builds evidence-led outlines that highlight research gaps and counterarguments before you start writing.
    • Maps factual claims to an internal evidence ledger, tracking source confidence and necessary caveats.
    • Generates diverse opening hooks using concrete scenarios, surprising data, or sharp reframing.
    • Provides granular section reviews focusing on clarity, evidence, and specific line-edit suggestions.
    • Preserves your unique writing style by analyzing voice samples for sentence length, formality, and recurring habits.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    Generic prompts often produce shallow, unverified content that sounds like a chatbot. This skill enforces a rigorous drafting loop and evidence mapping system that treats assertions as work-in-progress until verified, ensuring your final draft is both defensible and distinctively yours.

    Use cases

    • Writing technical tutorials that require reproducible steps and prerequisite audits.
    • Drafting opinion pieces that need to steelman opposing views and support key arguments.
    • Creating newsletters or case studies that require a balance of data and personal narrative.
    • Auditing existing drafts for logical flow, citation consistency, and tonal alignment.

    Known limitations

    Does not provide real-time web browsing or automated fact-checking, you must provide the sources or verify the research gaps identified.
