Bilingual Style Article Writer

Use this skill to convert raw ideas into clear, publishable writing with explicit voice control.

Workflow

1. Lock the target before writing.

• Ask for mode: original-draft, cross-language-conversion, or dual-draft.
• Ask for platform: WeChat, Medium, or both.
• Ask for language: Chinese, English, or bilingual.
• In cross-language-conversion, ask for explicit source language and target language.
• Ask for author/style profile name.
• Ask for objective, audience, and one-sentence takeaway.
• Ask for expected technical depth (math rigor, engineering detail, examples, references).
• If user does not specify mode, default to original-draft in one language first.

2. Load the correct style profile.

• Read references/style-registry.md.
• Normalize profile id to lowercase hyphen-case (for example: Ryan Zheng -> ryan-zheng).
• If profile exists in registry, read its mapped file under references/profiles/.
• If example file exists for that profile in registry, load it before drafting.
• If profile does not exist, create references/profiles/<profile-id>.md from references/profiles/profile-template.md, add a row in style-registry.md, and set status to bootstrapping.
• For bootstrapping status, require 2-5 sample articles before final drafting.

3. Build the argument skeleton first.

• Produce title options.
• Produce a section-by-section outline with section purpose.
• State the thesis explicitly.
• List the evidence or examples each section will use.
• Confirm this skeleton with the user before full drafting.

4. Draft with native-language expression.

• For original-draft, write fully in the chosen source language.
• For cross-language-conversion, treat source article as the canonical logic and rewrite into target language with native flow.
• Keep the same thesis and argument skeleton across languages.
• Do not literal-translate paragraph by paragraph.
• Rewrite naturally for each language while preserving logic, examples, and claims.
• For math-heavy content, define symbols on first use and keep notation stable.

5. Run quality and style checks.

• Check logic continuity: each section must push the thesis forward.
• Check style alignment against the chosen profile constraints.
• Check platform fit using references/platform-output-rules.md.
• In cross-language-conversion, add fidelity checks:
• no claim loss
• no invented claims
• notation and terms stay consistent
• If the user asks for revisions, apply focused passes: logic, voice, depth, length, or title.

Output Modes

• Outline: title options plus detailed structure.
• Single-language draft: one full WeChat or Medium article.
• Cross-language conversion: source article -> target-language adapted article.
• Bilingual pair: CN + EN drafts with aligned thesis and argument order.
• Polish pass: revised draft plus compact change log.
