Article Editing Skill
A standardised article editing workflow that solves the problem of losing editing work due to session interruptions.
When to Use
- The user asks to edit, revise, or polish an existing article
- Multiple edits need to be made to an article
- Tasks include content trimming, tone adjustment, structural reorganisation, etc.
Execution Workflow
Step 1: Read the Target Article in Full
- Use the Read tool to read the article completely
- Quickly understand the article's topic, structure, and current state
Step 2: List All Planned Edits
- Based on the user's requirements, list all items that need to be changed
- For each item, indicate: location (which paragraph), type of change (delete / rewrite / adjust), and specific content
- Wait for user confirmation of scope before making any changes
Step 3: Incremental Editing + Save After Each Batch
- Save the file after every related group of edits is completed
- Report progress to the user after every 3–5 edits:
Progress: X/Y items completed
✅ Done: [list]
⏳ Remaining: [list]
Step 4: Summary Upon Completion
- Provide a summary of all changes made
- Explain the rationale behind each edit
- If any external information was referenced, include the sources
Key Principles
- Confirm before acting: Never assume the scope of changes
- Save as you go: Save after each batch of edits to prevent loss due to session interruption
- Transparent changes: The user should always know what was changed and why
- Preserve style: Edits must still conform to Huashu's writing style (see SHARED-RULES.md)
Relationship with the Proofreading Workflow
- Once editing is complete, the user may trigger a three-pass proofreading review (
/AI-taste-proofreading) if needed - The Editing Skill focuses on "changing per requirements"; the Proofreading Skill focuses on "reducing AI-sounding language"
