One of 11 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
I need to brainstorm a piece about remote work isolation, but I want to stay in an open-ended exploration phase. Could you interview me about my personal stories and hot takes, and save every useful line or concept we hit into `remote_thoughts.md`? Let's just collect raw material as we talk.
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| The markdown file remote_thoughts.md is created during the first turn. | Missed | Passed |
| The file remote_thoughts.md starts with a single H1 working title. | Missed | Passed |
| The response asks probing interview questions about remote work isolation. | Passed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
This is pure explore: widen the space of what could be written without committing to structure — committing is exploit, a separate skill's job. Run a grilling session that produces fragments, interviewing the user relentlessly about whatever they want to write about. Imposing phases, outlines, or article structure is out of scope here.
As fragments emerge from either side of the conversation, append them to a single markdown file.
If the user did not pass a path, ask once where to save the document, then remember it for the rest of the session.
Capture fragments from the very first thing the user says, including the initial prompt.
On first write, put a single H1 at the top with a working title (it can change later) and nothing else — no metadata, no TOC, no date.
A fragment is any piece of text that might survive into the final article. It must be readable by the author — the author can tell what it means — but it does not need to define its terms or be comprehensible to a cold reader. The bar is "is this a piece of good writing?", not "is this a self-contained argument?"
Fragments are deliberately heterogeneous. Examples of what could be a fragment:
Of these, the leading word is the most valuable fragment to land. It is load-bearing: name the right one in explore and it shapes the structure, the transitions, and the title later — paying dividends through the entire exploit phase. When the conversation circles a recurring idea, push to coin a word for it.
The novelist's diary is the model: years of unstructured noticings that later get mined for raw material. Fragments are noticings.
