Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
Write long-form content that sounds like an actual person with a point of view, not an LLM smoothing itself into paste.
Not for
- Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
- Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

Inspect the Agent Skill "article-writing" from https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/4e973d3eaf92d97f8d2e2d8abb39d8bdc8711b38/skills/article-writing/SKILL.md at commit 4e973d3eaf92d97f8d2e2d8abb39d8bdc8711b38. List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.
Workflow
What the source asks the agent to do
- 01
Writing Process
1. Clarify the audience and purpose. 2. Build a hard outline with one job per section. 3. Start sections with proof, artifact, conflict, or example. 4. Expand only where the next sentence earns space. 5. Cut anything that sounds templated, overexplained, or self-congratulatory.

Voice Handling
If the user wants a specific voice, run brand-voice first and reuse its VOICE PROFILE. Do not duplicate a second style-analysis pass here unless the user explicitly asks for one.

Article Writing
Write long-form content that sounds like an actual person with a point of view, not an LLM smoothing itself into paste.
When to Activate
- drafting blog posts, essays, launch posts, guides, tutorials, or newsletter issues
- turning notes, transcripts, or research into polished articles
- matching an existing founder, operator, or brand voice from examples
- tightening structure, pacing, and evidence in already-written long-form copy
Core Rules
- Lead with the concrete thing: artifact, example, output, anecdote, number, screenshot, or code.
- Explain after the example, not before.
- Keep sentences tight unless the source voice is intentionally expansive.
- Use proof instead of adjectives.
- Never invent facts, credibility, or customer evidence.
Voice Handling
If the user wants a specific voice, run brand-voice first and reuse its VOICE PROFILE.
Do not duplicate a second style-analysis pass here unless the user explicitly asks for one.
If no voice references are given, default to a sharp operator voice: concrete, unsentimental, useful.
Banned Patterns
Delete and rewrite any of these:
- "In today's rapidly evolving landscape"
- "game-changer", "cutting-edge", "revolutionary"
- "here's why this matters" as a standalone bridge
- fake vulnerability arcs
- a closing question added only to juice engagement
- biography padding that does not move the argument
- generic AI throat-clearing that delays the point
Writing Process
- Clarify the audience and purpose.
- Build a hard outline with one job per section.
- Start sections with proof, artifact, conflict, or example.
- Expand only where the next sentence earns space.
- Cut anything that sounds templated, overexplained, or self-congratulatory.
Structure Guidance
Technical Guides
- open with what the reader gets
- use code, commands, screenshots, or concrete output in major sections
- end with actionable takeaways, not a soft recap
Essays / Opinion
- start with tension, contradiction, or a specific observation
- keep one argument thread per section
- make opinions answer to evidence
Newsletters
- keep the first screen doing real work
- do not front-load diary filler
- use section labels only when they improve scanability
Quality Gate
Before delivering:
- factual claims are backed by provided sources
- generic AI transitions are gone
- the voice matches the supplied examples or the agreed
VOICE PROFILE - every section adds something new
- formatting matches the intended medium
