# Article Writing

Write long-form content that sounds like a real person or brand, not generic AI output.

## When to Activate

- drafting blog posts, essays, launch posts, guides, tutorials, or newsletter issues
- turning notes, transcripts, or research into polished articles
- matching an existing founder, operator, or brand voice from examples
- tightening structure, pacing, and evidence in already-written long-form copy

## Core Rules

1. Lead with the concrete thing: example, output, anecdote, number, screenshot description, or code block.
2. Explain after the example, not before.
3. Prefer short, direct sentences over padded ones.
4. Use specific numbers when available and sourced.
5. Never invent biographical facts, company metrics, or customer evidence.

## Voice Capture Workflow

If the user wants a specific voice, collect one or more of:
- published articles
- newsletters
- X / LinkedIn posts
- docs or memos
- a short style guide

Then extract:
- sentence length and rhythm
- whether the voice is formal, conversational, or sharp
- favored rhetorical devices such as parentheses, lists, fragments, or questions
- tolerance for humor, opinion, and contrarian framing
- formatting habits such as headers, bullets, code blocks, and pull quotes

If no voice references are given, default to a direct, operator-style voice: concrete, practical, and low on hype.

## Banned Patterns

Delete and rewrite any of these:
- generic openings like "In today's rapidly evolving landscape"
- filler transitions such as "Moreover" and "Furthermore"
- hype phrases like "game-changer", "cutting-edge", or "revolutionary"
- va
