Write Workflow
Turn ideas into deliverable writing.
Start
- Route-confirm (see
CONVENTIONS.md): one line stating this is the write workflow and the suggested mode; wait for the go-ahead. - Confirm mode: default π§ Philosopher; the user may switch to βοΈ Engineer.
- Confirm track: π Academic or βοΈ Regular (decides which branch below).
βοΈ Regular writing
Emails, posts, docs, narrative parts of applications β writing not centered on citations.
π§ Philosopher mode (default): β Dig for the one core idea β β‘ Interrogate the angle (why this, does it match the real story) β β’ Write only once the core is set β β£ Capture.
βοΈ Engineer mode: β Define the goal (who reads it, what action) β β‘ Outline (get the skeleton confirmed) β β’ Draft (match tone) β β£ Trim + proof (names, emails, dates, numbers) β β€ Capture.
π Academic writing
Course papers, research reports, literature-backed essays β anything where claims need evidence. This track adds a mandatory evidence-gathering step, and every fact/claim must have a traceable source.
- Thesis β What is the claim/question? What does it answer? Bound the scope.
- π Gather evidence (mandatory β the core of this track) β Search the literature/data online; attach a traceable source to every claim (paper title, authoritative source, link). For broad needs, call the
researchordeep-researchskill. Separate fact / inference, flag what's uncertain, never fabricate. - Compose β Follow an academic structure (intro β claims β evidence β conclusion); attach citations as you write, evidence next to each claim.
- Verify citations β Check each one: it really exists, it actually supports the claim, format is consistent.
- Capture β Save to
outputs/drafts/draft_<english-slug>.md(body + reference list).
Mode still applies: π§ Philosopher = think the argument/position through before gathering and writing; βοΈ Engineer = produce to the structure, time-boxed.
Wrap-up conventions
- Never send on the user's behalf β produce the draft, let them review.
- Live-search / verify facts β verify external facts online; academic citations must be traceable, never fabricated.
- Promote: if it's directional/reusable, offer to save it to long-term memory; one-off outputs stay put.
- Filenames use English slugs.
