Making Content

Three uses: rewrite an AI-written draft in the author's style, make a Xiaohongshu image post from scratch, and turn material into a short video. All three share the style rules below; each rule targets a recurring tell of AI writing. "The author" is the user whose voice the text should carry.

The rules are a default distilled from one author's edits of AI drafts. The user's own samples in test-cases/ and anything the user says about their style take precedence over them.

Three uses

• Rewrite (default): the user gives a draft; revise it with the style rules below.
• Xiaohongshu image post from scratch: read references/xhs-post.md first (workflow, title, cover, cards, body text, taking a position). Text on the cards and in the body still follows the style rules below. The rewrite-only items under "Don'ts" (do not restructure, do not add facts the draft lacks) do not apply here.
• Short video: read references/video-pipeline.md first (workflow, script.json, voice, rendering, lint). Read references/layouts.md while writing script.json, references/voice-and-music.md when cloning a voice or hitting a TTS error, and references/text-density-lint.md when lint fails. Narration and copy still follow the style rules below; the question that invites comments at the end of a video is a deliberate part of the video format, so follow video-pipeline.md there.

Before a post or video from scratch: check the topic can win

Do this before any outline, and again whenever new data arrives (numbers from a published version, search results the user sends). Rewrite mode skips it.
