Limitations and checks

This skill acts as a writing partner and suggests rather than replaces, offering options and not directives.
The skill suggests, but the writer must verify sources before citing.
Voice preservation depends on the user providing examples of their writing and specifying tone preferences.
Ensure you have created a dedicated writing folder, navigated into it, created an article-draft.md file, and opened Claude Code from that directory before starting.
Confirm that any data, claims, or quotes provided by the skill are verified by you and properly cited in your preferred format (inline, numbered, or footnote).
Verify that the skill's suggestions match your writing style and tone by sharing existing writing samples and periodically asking if the text sounds like you.
Keep your research, outlines, and drafts organized using the recommended file structure (e.g., separate outline.md and research.md files).
