Concept Workflow

Skill: Complete Concept Workflow

Use this skill to create a complete, high-quality concept page from start to finish. This skill orchestrates all five specialized skills in the optimal order:

1. Resource Curation — Find quality learning resources
2. Concept Writing — Write the documentation page
3. Test Writing — Create tests for code examples
4. Fact Checking — Verify technical accuracy
5. SEO Review — Optimize for search visibility

When to Use

• Creating a brand new concept page from scratch
• Completely rewriting an existing concept page
• When you want a full end-to-end workflow with all quality checks

For partial tasks, use individual skills instead:

• Just adding resources? Use resource-curator
• Just writing content? Use write-concept
• Just adding tests? Use test-writer
• Just verifying accuracy? Use fact-check
• Just optimizing SEO? Use seo-review

Phase 1: Resource Curation

Skill: resource-curator Goal: Gather high-quality external resources before writing

What to Do

1. Identify the concept category (fundamentals, async, OOP, etc.)
2. Search for MDN references — Official documentation
3. Find quality articles — Target 4-6 from trusted sources
4. Find quality videos — Target 3-4 from trusted creators
5. Evaluate each resource — Check quality criteria
6. Write specific descriptions — 2 sentences each
7. Format as Card components — Ready to paste into the page

Deliverables

• List of 2-4 MDN/reference links with descriptions
• List of 4-6 article links with descriptions
• List of 3-4 video links with descriptions
• Optional: 1-2 courses or books

Quality Gates

Before moving to Phase 2:

• All links verified working (200 response)
• All resources are JavaScript-focused
• Descriptions are specific, not generic
• Mix of beginner and advanced content

Phase 2: Concept Writing

Skill: write-concept Goal: Create the full documentation page

What to Do

1. Determine the category for file organization
2. Create the frontmatter (title, sidebarTitle, description)
3. Write the opening hook — Question that draws readers in
4. Add opening code example — Simple example in first 200 words
5. Write "What you'll learn" box — 5-7 bullet points
6. Write main content sections:
   • What is [concept]? (with 40-60 word definition for featured snippet)
   • Real-world analogy
   • How it works (with diagrams)
   • Code examples (multiple, progressive complexity)
   • Common mistakes
   • Edge cases
7. Add Key Takeaways — 8-10 numbered points
8. Add Test Your Knowledge — 5-6 Q&A accordions
9. Add Related Concepts — 4 Cards linking to related topics

Phase Dependencies

Some phases can be partially parallelized, but the general flow should be:

Phase 1 (Resources) ──┐
                      ├──► Phase 2 (Writing) ──► Phase 3 (Tests) ──┐
                      │                                             │
                      │         ┌───────────────────────────────────┘
                      │         ▼
                      └──► Phase 4 (Fact Check) ──► Phase 5 (SEO)

• Phase 1 before Phase 2: Resources inform what to write
• Phase 2 before Phase 3: Need content before writing tests
• Phase 3 before Phase 4: Tests are part of fact-checking
• Phase 4 before Phase 5: Fix accuracy issues before SEO polish
