SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning raw interview notes and research evidence into a coherent, well-sourced article outline is slow and error-prone. This Skill structures STORM interview evidence into a hierarchical outline where every section is traceable to specific sources, questions, and perspectives. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence Clustering: Groups interview notes and source material into balanced sections and subsections. - Source-to-Section Mapping: Links each section to question IDs, perspective IDs, and source IDs for full traceability. - Coverage Auditing: Flags missing coverage, weak source areas, conflicts, and red-herring risks before writing begins. - Use Case: After running STORM-style multi-perspective interviews on a topic, use this Skill to produce storm-outline.md and storm-outline.json, then hand off the complete evidence package to the cited article writer. ## Quick Start Use the outline-architect skill to build a sourced article outline from the topic brief, perspectives, interview notes, and source index in the project workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn interview notes into an article outline?▼

Provide the topic brief, perspectives file, interview notes, and source index, and the Skill clusters the evidence into balanced sections and subsections. It writes both a Markdown outline and a structured JSON outline ready for the drafting stage.

How does the outline track which sources support each section?▼

Each section in the outline is mapped to question IDs, perspective IDs, and source IDs from the evidence package. This mapping appears in both the Markdown and JSON outputs so every claim remains traceable to its origin.

What input files does the outline-architect skill require?▼

It expects four curated artifacts: topic-brief.md, perspectives.json, interview-notes.md, and source-index.json. These come from earlier STORM pipeline stages and must exist in the project workspace before outlining begins.

Can the outline include minority or conflicting perspectives?▼

Yes, the Skill explicitly preserves minority or caveated perspectives when they materially affect the topic. It also flags conflicts and red-herring risks rather than silently dropping dissenting evidence.

What are the limitations of this outlining approach?▼

The Skill does not write the full article and will not create sections without source support. If evidence is thin in an area, it flags a coverage gap instead of inventing content, so weak research must be addressed upstream.
