What CrossFrame Critical does

CrossFrame Critical is designed for users who require a systematic method for crafting Chinese structural critique dossiers, article plans, and long-form critical essays. This skill operates exclusively on explicit invocation, ensuring that the user is directing the process specifically towards critical analysis within the framework of CrossFrame. The skill's primary focus is to establish a well-defined structure for critique, integrating evidence boundaries, scale, mechanism candidates, and judgment grades before developing the final critique output.

The skill emphasizes a structured workflow, beginning with the foundational elements of the CrossFrame methodology. Users will first delineate the object of critique, establish fact boundaries, and identify potential mechanisms and judgment scales. Following this preparatory phase, the critical matrix is applied to analyze various factors such as cost chains, benefit distributions, and power dynamics. This structured approach ensures that critiques are not only comprehensive but also grounded in a clear analytical framework.

Output from CrossFrame Critical is meticulously organized into three distinct sections: a critique draft, an article plan, and the essay body itself. This format allows users to see the progression from initial analysis to final output clearly. The default length for essays is set between 1800 and 2800 Chinese characters, which can be adjusted based on user needs. The skill also enforces strict guidelines to maintain the integrity of the critique, ensuring that personal biases and unverified claims are avoided, thus fostering a more objective analysis.

This skill is particularly suited for academics, researchers, and writers who engage with critical theory, especially in contexts that require a nuanced understanding of socio-political dynamics within Chinese discourse. It is not intended for casual writing or for users seeking a generic essay-writing tool, as it demands a specific focus on structured critique and detailed analysis.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to create a detailed critical essay or dossier in Chinese, specifically invoking the crossframe-critical functionality.

When not to use it

This skill is not suitable for general writing tasks or when a quick, informal critique is needed, as it requires explicit invocation and adherence to structured analysis.

What you can build with it

Academic Research

Use this skill to draft critical essays for academic papers that require a structured critique of socio-political issues.

Article Planning

Employ this skill to create detailed article plans that outline central theses and supporting evidence for critical topics.

Long-Form Critical Essays

Utilize this skill for writing comprehensive critical essays that analyze complex ideas within a structured framework.

CrossFrame Critical

When to Use This Skill

  • Use only when the user explicitly names crossframe-critical, $crossframe-critical, or asks to test this critical parallel skill.
  • Use for Chinese structural critique dossiers, critique matrices, article plans, and long-form critical essays.
  • Do not include it in the default crossframe-suite route.

Packaged Source Note

This AAS-ready copy preserves the original CrossFrame skill body below. Chinese remains the canonical semantic layer; English metadata is only for discovery, installation, and repository review.

Limitations

  • The skill body is intentionally Chinese-canonical; English metadata is for discovery and does not replace the original Chinese terms.
  • Use only after explicit CrossFrame invocation or crossframe-suite routing; do not apply it as a generic default reasoning layer.
  • It structures analysis, drafting, and review, but does not replace source verification, domain expertise, or legal, medical, or financial judgment.

本 skill 不独立触发。 所有 CrossFrame 任务统一从 crossframe-suite 入口调度。用户无需直接调用本 skill;suite 根据路由规则在需要时自动加载。

This is a parallel local test skill. It does not replace crossframe, crossframe-essay, crossframe-public, or crossframe-suite.

Position

crossframe-critical writes critical Chinese essays that first use CrossFrame to establish structure, evidence boundaries, scale, mechanism candidates, and judgment grade, then sharpen the output into critique.

The critique may absorb Marxist problem awareness: interests, cost transfer, alienation, commodification, ideology, naturalized domination, and reproduction of conditions. It must not mechanically force every topic into class/capital language.

Required Reading

On every trigger, read:

  1. ../crossframe/SKILL.md
  2. ../crossframe/references/read-routing-map.md
  3. If the critique touches high-responsibility, public, AI/process artifact, lifecycle, trapped-subject, or article-output scenarios, reuse ../crossframe/templates/read-state-capsule.md as v5-read-state-capsule and run ../crossframe/worksheets/source-anchor-integrity-check.md; if the capsule is missing, return to ../crossframe/SKILL.md instead of inventing source routing here.
  4. protocols/critical-article-protocol.md
  5. references/critical-matrix.md
  6. references/example-and-evidence-rules.md
  7. 若涉及真实公共对象、最新事实、机构、平台、政策、人物、公司、数据、AI/过程性产物或强判断,读取 ../crossframe/references/source-ledger-workflow.md 并建立来源台账。
  8. templates/critical-output-template.md

If the topic needs long-form style control, also read ../crossframe-essay/SKILL.md and reuse only its article discipline, not its whole output contract.

Workflow

  1. Build the CrossFrame base: object, fact boundary, scale window, mechanism candidates, judgment grade, and evidence gaps.
  2. Apply the critical matrix: cost chain, benefit chain, power/resource distribution, concept concealment, reproduction mechanism, weak signals, and counterconditions.
  3. Plan the article: central thesis, reader position, examples, section sequence, word allocation, and ending aftertaste.
  4. Write the full essay from the dossier. Default body length is 1800-2800 Chinese characters unless the user overrides it.
  5. Run a final boundary check: no personality judgment, no hat-labeling, no conspiracy claim, no unverified strong judgment, no slogan replacing analysis.

Output

Default output has exactly three visible sections:

# 批判底稿
# 篇章方案
# 正文

Do not collapse the result into a short answer, checklist, memo, or diagnosis summary unless the user explicitly asks for that.

Hard Rules

  • Start from CrossFrame structure, then become critical; do not begin from indignation and decorate it with structure words.
  • Critique mechanisms, interests, rhetoric, institutions, and responsibility chains; do not turn structural critique into personal condemnation.
  • A real or recent public event requires source checking before factual claims, with a visible source ledger summary. Unverified examples must be labeled as analogy, hypothesis, or common pattern.
  • Use at least two concrete examples in the essay body unless the user provides a single narrowly bounded case and asks not to expand.
  • Include at least one countercondition, evidence gap, or withdrawal condition.
  • Do not use Marxist terms as prestige vocabulary. If a term cannot be translated into who pays, who benefits, what is hidden, and how the condition repeats, remove it.
