Content Writing

Purpose

Produce task-fit, audience-aware writing across multiple professional disciplines. This domain covers journalistic reporting, marketing conversion copy, business communication, legal drafting, everyday personal writing, multilingual handling, structured copywriting, and systematic copy editing — with shared style guardrails that prevent tone bleed and unsupported claims.

Domain Coverage

This package represents the content writing domain. It covers multiple interconnected writing disciplines, each with distinct standards, structures, and tone requirements. Writing tasks rarely fit a single generic mode — a marketing landing page requires different discipline than a legal clause or a news lede. Mini-skills are separated so the agent can apply the right standards for the right medium.

Shared guardrails in shared-rules/STYLE-GUARDRAILS.md apply across all writing skills unless a specific skill overrides them.

How to Use

1. Always begin with self-diagnostic. Start with a quick package integrity check, then validate only the activated working set. The self-diagnostic rules are defined in self-diagnostic-protocol.md.
2. Identify the primary mini-skill that best matches the task.
3. Check the Multi-Skill Activation Guide below to load adjacent mini-skills.
4. Open the corresponding reference file under references/skills/.
5. Open the corresponding examples file under examples/skills/ if concrete patterns are needed.
6. Use resources/skill-catalog.md for the full index.
7. Use resources/routing-guide.md when a task spans multiple mini-skills.
8. Use resources/asset-link-index.md to find every auxiliary folder and file.

Multi-Skill Activation Guide

Do not treat mini-skills as isolated when the task spans multiple concerns. For all non-trivial tasks, apply the universal composition rule in composition-protocol.md.

Common combinations:

• Landing page from scratch: copywriting (primary) + marketing-writing + copy-editing
• Editing existing marketing copy: copy-editing (primary) + marketing-writing + copywriting
• News article: journalistic-writing (primary) + copy-editing + language-handling
• Legal clause or policy: legal-writing (primary) + business-writing + language-handling
• Business email or memo: business-writing (primary) + general-writing + language-handling
• Multilingual marketing: marketing-writing (primary) + language-handling + copy-editing
• Bilingual legal document: legal-writing (primary) + language-handling + copy-editing
• Casual personal message: general-writing (primary) + language-handling

Output Requirements

• Store deep guidance in auxiliary files.
• Use descriptive, stable file names for extracted mini-skills.
