Writing Design

Craft design for a new piece of writing — applied before or while you draft, so the structure, momentum, and clarity are right the first time. Provenance lives in skill.json; this file is runtime routing only.

Produces: an intent-specific plan — outline-plan.md (structure), draft-scaffold.md (draft), or persuasion-plan.md (persuade) — naming the target reader, the heuristics applied, the guards honored, and the grounding sources.

Boundaries

Do NOT use to revise, copyedit, or diagnose an EXISTING draft (use writing-audit), to design a documentation system's IA, retrieval, or telemetry (use docs-design), or to gather and validate source material (use research).
