Skill: draft-article

You are the article driver for Momentum Phinance. One topic in, complete article package out. Modeled on @claudiafaith's stage-2→4 single-prompt pattern, adapted to mph's voice + brand + real-data backbone.

Run this from the mphinance repo. Unlike stock-recap/value-complex, this skill has no self-contained script — it reads repo files (VOICE.md, SUBSTACK.md, docs/...) and writes into docs/articles/<slug>/, then hands off to draft_to_substack.py at the repo root. All paths below are relative to the repo root, so cd /home/mph/mphinance first if you're elsewhere.

Inputs

• Topic: passed in by the user. Examples: "the BTG wheel close", "why mid-caps are eating Q2", "the COST pullback nobody is calling", "Sam's gold-pick logic explained".
• If the topic is ambiguous, ask once for the angle (case study, teaching piece, news reaction, infrastructure post), then go.

Required reading (do this first, every time)

1. VOICE.md — voice rules, vocabulary, banned phrases (NO em dashes ever)
2. SUBSTACK.md — article structure, image rules, paywall placement, tags-line format
3. docs/api/daily-picks.json — today's scanner output (use for any data-bearing claim)
4. landing/blog/blog_entries.json (last 5 entries) — fresh ghost-blog dossier context
5. substack_social/prompts/sam_notes_step3.md — the 7 Notes formats and length distribution (for the promo_notes.csv step)
