Content writing
Build and set up a content-writing project — a book, course, documentation set, article, guide, or long-form written work — structured by outline and chapters and exported to a polished format.

Use WHENEVER the user wants to write, draft, author, or ghostwrite a book, course, e-book, manual, docs, article, newsletter, or any substantial prose deliverable.From its SKILL.md

content-writing — books, courses, docs, and long-form prose
This sub-skill stands up a content / writing project: a substantial written work organised by outline and chapters, drafted iteratively, and exported to a polished format (PDF / DOCX / slides). It treats structure, voice, and audience-fit as first-class — the deliverable is prose, not code, so it uses an outline-and-chapter skeleton instead of source/build folders.
What this sub-skill is for
Long-form written deliverables: a book or e-book, an online course/curriculum, a documentation set
or manual, a multi-part article or guide series, a newsletter run. Not for website copy that lives
inside a site (website), not for a research report whose point is a decision (research-decision,
though it composes when a book is research-heavy). Composes with website when the content also
ships as a published site.
Mandatory grill-questions (fold into the Definition of Ready)
Lock these before drafting a single section:
- Format — book / e-book / course / docs / article series / manual. Each implies a different structure (chapters vs. modules+lessons vs. reference pages). Recommend confirming the format before outlining.
- Audience — who reads it, their prior knowledge, what they should be able to do afterward. Drives reading level, tone, and assumed background.
- Goal & key takeaways — what the reader/learner walks away with; the through-line of the work.
- Length & depth — target word/page count (or lesson count), and depth per unit. Sets the outline's granularity.
- Outline — the chapter/module breakdown. Get the outline approved before any drafting — this is the gate; drafting against an unapproved outline wastes work.
- Voice & language — tone (authoritative / friendly / academic), language/locale, and any style guide or sample to match.
- Source material — does the user supply research/notes/transcripts, or do we research? Any facts/claims that need verification or citation?
- Export targets — final formats (PDF, DOCX, EPUB, slide deck) and any layout/branding requirements.
Project sub-agents to generate (into <project>/.claude/agents/)
outliner(delegate-by-default) — turns the brief into a structured chapter/module outline with per-unit goals and key points; iterates with the user until the outline is approved (the gate). Chainsdoc-coauthoring.drafter(delegate-by-default) — writes each chapter/lesson to the approved outline in the project's voice and target length; works unit-by-unit, never dumps the whole book at once.editor— line-and-structure edits for clarity, consistency, voice, and flow; checks continuity across chapters and flags claims needing sources.- Plus the kit defaults:
reviewer(audits drafts against outline + audience + length) andverifier(confirms the export actually builds and reads correctly in the target format).
Tools / CLIs / MCP / skills needed
Check in environment-readiness; offer install, never auto-install:
- Export tooling —
pdf(final PDF + assembly/merge),docx(manuscripts, TOC, headings, letterhead),pptx(course/slide companion),xlsxonly if the work needs data tables.pandocfor EPUB/format conversion if a book needs it. - CHAIN these GLOBAL skills (the core of this type):
doc-coauthoring— the structured co-authoring workflow: context transfer, iterative refinement, reader-verification. Drive outlining and drafting through it.pdf/docx/pptx— produce the polished export(s).document-design+docrender(2026-07-29 addition) — for a book/manual/whitepaper export, this is the right tool over a plain PDF pipeline: it names the genre (Lesestrecke for a book, Nachschlagewerk for a manual), decides the layout fresh instead of filling a shipped template, and renders every page to an image for a real look before "done" —docrender review <file>checks margins, font fallback, and orphan headings mechanically first. Covers a DOCX manuscript export too (document-designnow has a real PPTX/DOCX generator path, not Typst/Touying-only).deep-research— when chapters need sourced facts; cite and mark verified vs. reasoned.verify— confirm the exported artifact opens and reads as intended.
File / asset nudges (on top of the base set)
Beyond CLAUDE.md, PROJEKT_<NAME>.md, TASKS.md, DONE.md, README, .claude/ — use a manuscript
skeleton, not a code tree:
OUTLINE.md— the approved chapter/module structure with per-unit goals (the source of truth).chapters/(ormodules/) — one Markdown file per chapter/lesson, drafted in order.STYLE.md— voice, tone, terminology, formatting, and language/locale conventions.research/+sources.md— supporting notes and the citation list, if the work is sourced.assets/— figures, diagrams, cover art;export/— the built PDF/DOCX/EPUB/deck outputs.front-matter/— title page, TOC, preface/intro, about — for book/manual formats.
Stack defaults & done-bar
Defaults: Markdown chapters under chapters/, an approved OUTLINE.md as source of truth, a
STYLE.md voice guide, doc-coauthoring driving the write loop, exported to PDF/DOCX (EPUB for
books) via the document skills. Draft unit-by-unit; never generate the whole work in one pass.
Done-bar (all true): the outline is approved by the user; every chapter/lesson is
drafted to its outlined goal and within target length; the editor pass is done (consistent voice,
no continuity breaks, claims sourced or flagged); the work is exported cleanly to the target
format(s) and the export opens and reads correctly.
Guardrails
- Outline approval is a gate — do not bulk-draft against an unapproved outline.
- Honesty in claims: any fact, statistic, quote, or citation must be real and verifiable — mark verified vs. reasoned, and flag anything the user must confirm. Never invent sources or data.
- No plagiarism — write original prose; quote and attribute properly; study references for patterns, don't lift text.
- Match the agreed voice and length — don't pad to hit a count or drift off the style guide; flag if the target length doesn't fit the material.
- AI-writing honesty — if the user intends to publish, be candid about disclosure norms and don't dress up thin material as authoritative.
- No emojis in the deliverable unless the user's style guide explicitly calls for them (standing user rule: typographic symbols only by default).
- Commits under the user's own name only (Skryx-L-A); never add Claude as a co-author.
