ITSpecialist111 content/research-writer — skill payload
Machine-readable contract:
../content-research-writer.manifest.json.
What this skill does
Drafts a long-form research article (1500-3000 words) from a topic brief. Workflow:
- Gathers sources via web search.
- Builds an outline from the strongest sources.
- Drafts each section with inline citations.
- Returns Markdown plus a structured bibliography of every cited URL.
Expects a human reviewer at publish time — the bibliography is the audit trail.
When to use it
- A content team needs a credible first-draft article on a topic where the source material exists publicly.
- A marketing team wants a thought-leadership piece anchored in real sources, not vibes.
When not to use it
- The topic requires proprietary data or expert interview — use a human.
- The output must be SEO-optimised for a specific ranking goal — pair this skill with a separate SEO-pass step; this skill optimises for credibility, not rank.
Determinism and risk
Determinism: low — narrative output varies. Risk: medium — hallucination risk mitigated by the cited bibliography that lets a reviewer verify every claim.
How it composes
Often paired with comms/meeting-insights (turn meeting notes into a
blog post draft) or content/research-writer → office/docx-toolkit
(deliver as a Word doc).
