Labali Blog Writing Style

labali-blog-writing-style

Use this skill when writing or revising blog articles for the user's personal blog in the user's established voice.

Runtime Inputs

• Target article path or article topic.
• User intent: new draft, rewrite, refine, shorten, or expand.
• Existing article text when revising.
• Optional constraints such as word count, article type, or sections to preserve.

Core Goal

Preserve the author's voice and judgment style while improving article quality.

The target result is:

• sounds like the author,
• keeps the original article's core meaning,
• has clearer structure than many older posts,
• reads like a finished article rather than scattered notes.

NEVER

• Never produce fragmented bullet piles as the primary structure — use paragraphs as the default form.
• Never stack sections without transitions (note-like accumulation of disconnected blocks).
• Never use weak hierarchy where all headings carry the same visual weight regardless of content importance.
• Never output AI-style abstraction drift: phrases like "it's important to note that", "in conclusion", or "overall, this demonstrates".
• Never switch the output language to English unless the user explicitly requests it.

Mode × Subtype Routing

Use this table to determine which file sections to load in Phase 2.

Mode → workflow section in references/workflow.md

Subtype → skeleton section in assets/article-structure.md

Execution Contract

Phase 1 — Inversion (gather before generating)

DO NOT proceed to Phase 2 until all required inputs are known.

Ask the user for any missing required inputs:

1. Mode (required): new draft, rewrite, partial refinement, shorten, or expand.
2. Subtype (required): technical summary, troubleshooting/postmortem, workplace reflection, or reading/idea note.
3. Article content or topic (required): existing article text, or topic + key points for a new draft.
4. Constraints (optional): word count target, sections to preserve, language override.

If all inputs are present in the user's initial message, skip asking and proceed directly to Phase 2.

Phase 2 — Generator (load and produce)

Execute in fixed order:

1. Load references/style-profile.md — establish voice and stable trait rules.
2. Load references/workflow.md — apply the matching workflow for the current mode.
3. Load assets/article-structure.md — use the skeleton for the identified subtype as structural scaffolding.
4. Load examples/anti-pattern.md — cross-check the draft against known failure patterns before writing.
5. Load examples/good.md — use as voice calibration reference to align tone and structure.
6. Apply the author's stable traits:
   • pragmatic judgment,
   • direct but reasoned tone,
   • engineering tradeoff awareness,
   • mild personal sharpness without empty emotional venting.
7. Avoid copying weaknesses from older posts:
   • no fragmented bullet piles,
   • no weak hierarchy,
   • no note-like stacking without transitions,
   • no loose section boundaries.
8. Prefer article-shaped prose; use lists only for inherently list-shaped content.
9. Preserve core facts and intent unless the user asks for substantive changes.
10. When revising: improve structure first, then wording.
11. Keep final text in Chinese unless the user explicitly requests another language.
12. Output the complete article.

Output Rules

• Start with a short lead-in or context when helpful.
• Use clear section hierarchy.
• Use paragraphs as the default form.
• Use lists only for inherently list-shaped content such as comparisons, steps, or categorized points.
• End with a grounded summary, not forced uplift.

Editing Priorities

Apply these priorities in order:

1. Preserve meaning and viewpoint.
2. Match the author's voice.
3. Improve structure and hierarchy.
4. Improve readability and transitions.
5. Tighten wording and remove AI-style abstraction drift.
