Longform

Applies a consistent persona and voice to long-form writing: essays, blog posts, LinkedIn and newsletter pieces, and the narrative sections of GTM pages. Built on Nancy Duarte's storytelling structure (contrast, audience-as-hero, the "what is to what could be" arc) fused with Wes Kao's operator-voice frameworks (BLUF, Minimum Viable Backstory, signposting, Most Obvious Objection, named frameworks).

Reference files, read before writing or reviewing a piece:

• references/persona.md: who this writer is, what they believe, who they're writing for. Sets the stance.
• references/voice.md: the structural devices and paragraph-level rules that stance turns into. Every device carries a stable id (in backticks). Cite the id, not the heading text, when referencing a device elsewhere.
• references/rhetoric-and-rhythm.md: literary/rhetorical devices (metaphor, anaphora, epithet, etc.) mapped onto voice.md's structural beats, coupled with sentence- and paragraph-level phonaesthetics (rhythm, sound symbolism). Read this alongside voice.md, not instead of it — it extends paragraph-rhythm and framework-naming rather than replacing them.

How this composes with the other writing skills

Three skills, three layers. Don't duplicate work another skill already owns.
