What Multi-Style Article Creation does

The Multi-Style Article Creation skill is designed for users who need to produce articles in various formats quickly and efficiently. It supports five distinct writing styles: deep analysis, practical guide, story-driven, opinion, and news brief. Each style caters to different writing needs, whether you are drafting an in-depth report, a how-to guide, or a personal story. The skill provides a comprehensive workflow that guides users from material collection to content formatting, ensuring a structured approach to writing.

When activated by phrases like "write article" or "create post," the skill initiates a process that begins with gathering topic information. Users can either provide a specific topic or select from a content calendar. Based on the topic characteristics, the skill recommends an appropriate writing style, ensuring that the final output aligns with the intended audience and purpose. The user can also specify a style directly, which enhances the customization of the writing process.

Once the writing style is determined, the skill collects relevant materials and generates an outline tailored to the chosen format. This includes templates for each writing style, ensuring that users follow best practices for structure and content. The outline must be approved by the user before proceeding to content generation, allowing for adjustments based on user feedback. The writing phase follows strict guidelines to maintain clarity and engagement, focusing on storytelling, data integrity, and effective formatting.

This skill is particularly useful for content creators, marketers, and educators who frequently produce written materials and seek a streamlined process. By automating the outline and material collection stages, users can save time and focus on refining their message and engaging their audience.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to create articles or posts in various styles quickly, especially for content marketing or educational purposes.

When not to use it

This skill may not be suitable for highly specialized or technical writing that requires expert-level knowledge beyond the scope of the templates provided.

What you can build with it

Writing a Blog Post

A user activates the skill to draft a blog post on a trending topic, selecting the 'opinion' style for a personal take.

Creating a How-To Guide

A user specifies a topic related to a software tool and chooses the 'practical guide' style for clear, actionable steps.

Drafting a News Brief

A user requests a summary of a recent event and selects the 'news brief' style for a concise, fact-focused article.

Step 1: Read the Brief

  2. Topic description directly provided by the user

Extract key information:

  • Topic direction / title
  • Target audience
  • Writing style (if not specified, recommend based on topic content)

Confirm the style choice with the user.

Step 3: Material Collection

Use content-planner's search script to collect reference materials:

node "$SKILLS_ROOT/content-planner/scripts/wechat_search.js" "topic keywords" -n 10

Also use web-search skill for additional materials.

Organize material list:

  • Citable data/statistics
  • Reference cases/stories

Step 5: User Approval of Outline

This is a mandatory approval gate and cannot be skipped.

Present the outline to the user and ask for confirmation or modification requests.

Step 6: Write the Content

After approval, write content paragraph by paragraph following the outline.

Universal Writing Rules:

  1. Use stories instead of preaching

    • ❌ "风险管理很重要,应该做应急预案"
    • ✅ "去年,我的创业团队差点因为一个核心员工离职而崩溃,因为我们没有任何备选方案。"
  2. Use analogies and metaphors

    • ❌ "分布式系统很复杂"
    • ✅ "分布式系统就像连锁餐厅——每个分店需要协作,同时又要独立运营。"
  3. Support with data but don't pile it on

    • ❌ "据IDC报告,全球AI市场2023年增长45%,预计2025年达1000亿美元..."
    • ✅ "AI市场疯狂增长——每年翻一番。但在增长背后,真正赚钱的公司不到5家。"
  4. State opinions directly, avoid ambiguity

    • ❌ "有人认为...也有人认为...各有道理"
    • ✅ "说实话,我认为XX的做法是错的,因为..."
  5. Use short sentences and line breaks

Data integrity rules:

  • If specific data is needed but uncertain, mark [数据待确认] and confirm with user
  • Use search tools to verify key facts
  • Can tell fictional stories using "我见过..." or "一个朋友...", but don't fabricate data

Step 7: Formatting Optimization

WeChat Formatting Hard Rules:

  1. Paragraphs no more than 4 lines (mobile screen visible range)
  2. Insert a subheading or bold sentence every 3-4 paragraphs
  3. Must have a hook within the first 3 lines (question, data, story, counter-intuitive viewpoint)
  4. Must have a clear CTA at the end (follow/share/comment prompt)

Markdown Formatting Standards:

  • No first-line indentation, use blank lines to separate paragraphs
  • Maximum 2 heading levels (##), no deep nesting
  • Bold only the 1-2 most important words per paragraph
  • Use quotes for data, golden sentences, or important viewpoints
  • Lists maximum 5 items

Step 8: Output Draft

Save the article as Markdown:

Filename format: drafts/YYYYMMDD_[topic-slug].md

---
title: Article Title
date: YYYY-MM-DD
style: deep-analysis
summary: Article summary (within 100 words)
---

## Opening

Content...

Step 9: Quality Checklist

✅ Title — Sparks curiosity or resonance
✅ Opening — First 100 words are engaging
✅ Body — Has 2-3 clear viewpoints
✅ Cases — Uses stories not preaching
✅ Formatting — Easy to read (short paragraphs, bold, subheadings)
✅ Word Count — Within style-specified range
✅ CTA — Ending has action prompt

Title Optimization Process

Step 1: Generate 10 Candidate Titles

Use these psychological strategies:

StrategyDescriptionExample
SuspenseSpark curiosity"为什么我放弃了年薪50万的工作"
BenefitClarify reader gains"掌握这3个技巧,效率提升200%"
Pain PointHit reader anxiety"别让这个习惯毁了你的职业生涯"
NumbersSpecific and tangible"50%的人都误解了这个真相"
RhetoricalStimulate thinking"你真的了解AI吗?"
ContrastCreate contrast"BAT vs 创业公司:差别在哪"
