Writer Skill

Purpose

Transform research findings into an engaging, well-structured blog post that informs and captivates readers.

Prerequisites

Required before writing:

1. ✅ Research brief available (from Researcher skill)
2. ✅ Target audience defined

Audience Check (CRITICAL)

⚠️ STOP if target audience is not specified. Ask the user:

"Who is the target audience for this blog? For example:
- General public — No assumed knowledge, conversational tone
- Industry professionals — Familiar with terminology, deeper insights
- Executives/Decision-makers — Bottom-line focused, time-constrained
- Technical practitioners — Detail-oriented, wants specifics
- Beginners/Students — Educational tone, explain fundamentals

Or describe your specific audience."

Do not proceed with writing until audience is confirmed.

How Audience Affects Writing

Workflow

1. Analyze research - Identify the most compelling angle from the brief
2. Outline structure - Plan the narrative arc before writing
3. Draft content - Write with the target audience in mind
4. Weave in sources - Naturally incorporate facts and citations
