You're working on:
- Editing prose or documentation
- Extracting or matching author voice
- Managing saved voice profiles (list, apply, delete)
- Structuring narratives or stories
- Writing UI microcopy
- Evaluating content quality
Workflow Selection
Announce which workflow you're using:
| Task Type | Workflow | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Analyze writing style, extract voice profile | Voice Extraction | references/voice.md |
| List, apply, or delete saved voices | Voice Library | /wordsmith:voices command |
| Edit text, cut fluff, tighten prose | Precision Editing | references/editing.md |
| Structure story, build narrative arc | Narrative Structure | references/narrative.md |
| Write UI copy, tone variations | Microcopy Tones | references/copy.md |
| Evaluate blog/content quality, score | Content Evaluation | references/eval.md |
| Create RFC, ADR, design doc, or blog | Document Template | ../template/SKILL.md |

Dimensions
This skill has multiple configuration dimensions. See compatibility-matrix.md for:
- Workflow x Voice Type
- Tone x Format (Microcopy)
- Editing Pass x Document Type
- Voice Dimension x Content Type
- Narrative Structure x Audience
Use ✓✓ combinations when possible; avoid ✗ combinations.
Usage
- Detect which workflow applies based on user's task
- Check compatibility matrix for dimension compatibility
- Announce: "I'm using the writing skill for [workflow]"
- Load the appropriate reference file
- Execute the workflow with confirmation gates (see below)
Confirmation Gates
Multi-step workflows pause at checkpoints to prevent wasted work when intent drifts.
Gate Points:
| Phase | Gate |
|---|---|
| After voice/style analysis | ⚠️ CHECKPOINT: "Does this capture the voice you want?" |
| After outline/structure | ⚠️ CHECKPOINT: "Here's my proposed structure. Should I proceed?" |
| Before final output | ⚠️ CHECKPOINT: "Ready to generate final version. Confirm?" |
Skip gates: Say "proceed without confirmation" to run uninterrupted.
In workflows: Each reference file should pause at these points:
### Phase 2: Analysis
[... phase content ...]
⚠️ **CHECKPOINT**: Present findings summary. Ask: "Does this capture the voice/style? Any adjustments before I continue?"
Rules
- Use Ask tool to gather input before proceeding
- Preserve author voice when editing
- Be specific about changes and rationale
- For evaluations, provide exact replacement text for fixes
