majiayu000 polish-style
This skill performs style-only polishing on an existing draft.
It does not change structure, meaning, or claims without approval.
When to Use
Use this skill when:
- A draft exists and needs tone/readability refinement
- The outline and content scope are already approved
Do NOT use this skill for:
- Creating outlines or drafts
- Adding new claims or sections
- Publishing tasks
Required Workflow
1. Preconditions Check (Mandatory)
Before polishing, the agent MUST verify:
- Draft file exists in
content/drafts/ - The human confirms the draft is ready for style work
- Scope boundaries are still valid
If any item is missing, STOP and ask.
2. Style-Only Pass (Controlled)
The agent MUST:
- Preserve meaning and section structure
- Improve clarity, concision, and flow
- Keep tone practical and reflective
- Flag any ambiguous or weak passages as
TODO:instead of rewriting meaning
The agent MUST NOT:
- Add new claims, examples, or conclusions
- Change the article’s scope or outline order
- Use authoritative or hype-driven language
3. Change Log & Review Prompt (Mandatory)
After polishing, the agent MUST:
- Summarize the types of edits made
- List any
TODO:flags introduced - Ask whether to proceed to publishing steps or further revisions
Style Constraints
- Practice-first, not theory-first
- Short to medium paragraphs
- Prefer first-person when appropriate
- Avoid tutorial-style imperatives
- No exaggerated AI capability claims
Guardrails (Hard Rules)
- ❌ Do not polish without a confirmed draft

- ❌ Do not publish or move files to
published/
