Huashu Article Edit

Article Editing Skill

A standardised article editing workflow that solves the problem of losing editing work due to session interruptions.

When to Use

• The user asks to edit, revise, or polish an existing article
• Multiple edits need to be made to an article
• Tasks include content trimming, tone adjustment, structural reorganisation, etc.

Execution Workflow

Step 1: Read the Target Article in Full

• Use the Read tool to read the article completely
• Quickly understand the article's topic, structure, and current state

Step 2: List All Planned Edits

• Based on the user's requirements, list all items that need to be changed
• For each item, indicate: location (which paragraph), type of change (delete / rewrite / adjust), and specific content
• Wait for user confirmation of scope before making any changes

Step 3: Incremental Editing + Save After Each Batch

• Save the file after every related group of edits is completed
• Report progress to the user after every 3–5 edits:

  Progress: X/Y items completed
  ✅ Done: [list]
  ⏳ Remaining: [list]
  ```

### Step 4: Summary Upon Completion

- Provide a summary of all changes made
- Explain the rationale behind each edit
- If any external information was referenced, include the sources

## Key Principles

- **Confirm before acting**: Never assume the scope of changes
- **Save as you go**: Save after each batch of edits to prevent loss due to session interruption
- **Transparent changes**: The user should always know what was changed and why
- **Preserve style**: Edits must still conform to Huashu's writing style (see SHARED-RULES.md)

## Relationship with the Proofreading Workflow

- Once editing is complete, the user may trigger a three-pass proofreading review (`/AI-taste-proofreading`) if needed
- The Editing Skill focuses on "changing per requirements"; the Proofreading Skill focuses on "reducing AI-sounding language"
