SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning a pile of raw notes into a coherent article is hard when you try to write it all at once. This Skill breaks the process into a choose-your-own-adventure journey: you pick one beat at a time, and the article grows incrementally until it reaches a natural end. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Beat-by-beat drafting: Offers 2-3 candidate starting beats from your raw material, writes only the beat you pick, then proposes next directions. - Narrative over argument: Shapes material as a journey of scenes, points, and pivots rather than a linear thesis-driven outline. - Edit-safe iteration: Re-reads the article file from disk before every write, preserving your manual edits and letting you rewrite or replace any previous beat. - Use Case: You have a markdown file of interview notes and scattered observations. The Skill proposes three opening beats, you pick one, and together you build the article step by step until it feels complete. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to use the writing-beats skill to turn your raw material markdown file into an article, one beat at a time.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn raw notes into an article step by step?▼

Provide a markdown file of raw material and let the writing-beats process propose 2-3 candidate starting beats. You pick one, it writes only that beat to the article file, then offers next directions until the article reaches a natural end.

What is a beat in narrative writing?▼

A beat is one move in the article's journey: it sets a scene, lands a point, asks a question, or twists the angle, then stops. It can be a single sentence or several paragraphs, but anything needing subheadings should be split into multiple beats.

Can I edit or rewrite a beat after it is written?▼

Yes. You can edit the article file directly and your changes are preserved, since the file is re-read from disk before every write. You can also ask to rewrite a beat or go back and try a different candidate, and only that beat is changed.

When should I use beat-by-beat writing instead of an outline?▼

Use it when your material suits a narrative journey rather than a structured argument, and when you want to discover the article's shape as you go. It is less suitable when you need a fixed thesis-driven structure planned upfront.

Does all of my raw material need to end up in the article?▼

No. The article ends when the journey feels complete, not when the pile is empty. Leftover fragments that never make it in are expected, since having more raw material than needed is part of the method.
