Essay Authoring Skill

When writing or editing an MDX essay for this site, follow these patterns to produce rich, scrollytelling-style content with sticky figures, callouts, and embedded media.

Article Structure

Every essay should use the Scene component to pair figures with text. Scenes create a two-column layout where the figure sticks to the viewport while the reader scrolls through the accompanying text. This is the core reading experience — articles without Scenes feel flat.

Scene component

<Scene figure={<MyFigure />} caption="Short description of the figure.">

## Section heading

Body text that scrolls alongside the sticky figure. Can include
multiple paragraphs, lists, callouts, etc.
