Optimize Newsletter Issue

Orchestrate foundation skills to transform outlines into full drafts or optimize rough drafts into high-performing newsletter issues. This is a thin orchestrator — it sequences skill invocations and manages the user review workflow, but delegates all content generation to foundation skills.

Core Principle: This is a thin orchestrator. Never write newsletter content manually. Always delegate to the appropriate foundation skill.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Transforming an outline into a full newsletter draft
• Optimizing or polishing an existing rough draft
• The user has newsletter content that needs quality improvement
• Converting notes or bullet points into a publication-ready issue

Do NOT use this skill when:

• Starting from a topic with no existing content (use substack:plan-issue instead)
• Creating visual assets for a newsletter (use visual-design:newsletter-visuals)
