# Content Writing > Build and set up a content-writing project — a book, course, documentation set, article, guide, or long-form written work — structured by outline and chapters and exported to a polished format.

It treats structure, voice, and audience-fit as first-class — the deliverable is prose, not code, so it uses an outline-and-chapter skeleton instead of source/build folders. --- ## What this sub-skill is for Long-form written deliverables: a book or e-book, an online course/curriculum, a documentation set or manual, a multi-part article or guide series, a newsletter run. Not for website copy that lives inside a site (`website`), not for a research report whose point is a decision (`research-decision`, though it composes when a book is research-heavy). Composes with `website` when the content also ships as a published site. ## Mandatory grill-questions (fold into the Definition of Ready) Lock these before drafting a single section: - **Format** — book / e-book / course / docs / article series / manual. Each implies a different structure (chapters vs. modules+lessons vs. reference pages). **Recommend confirming the format before outlining.** - **Audience** — who reads it, their prior knowledge, what they should be able to do afterward. Drives reading level, tone, and assumed background. - **Goal & key takeaways** — what the reader/learner walks away with; the through-line of the work. - **Length & depth** — target word/page count (or lesson count), and depth per unit. Sets the outline's granularity. - **Outline** — the chapter/module breakdown. **Get the outline approved before any drafting** — this is the gate; drafting against an unapproved outline wastes work. - **Voice & language** — tone (authoritative / friendly / academic), language/locale, and any style guide or sample to match. - **Source material** — does the user supply research/notes/transcripts, or do we research? Any facts/claims that need verification or citation? - **Export targets** — final formats (PDF, DOCX, EPUB, slide deck) and any layout/branding requirements. ## Project sub-agents to generate (into `/.claude/agents/`) - **`outliner`** *(delegate-by-default)* — turns the brief into a structured chapter/module outline with per-unit goals and key points; iterates with the user until the outline is approved (the gate). Chains `doc-coauthoring`. - **`drafter`** *(delegate-by-default)* — writes each chapter/lesson to the approved outline in the project's voice and target length; works unit-by-unit, never dumps the whole book at once. - **`editor`** — line-and-structure edits for clarity, consistency, voice, and flow; checks continuity across chapters and flags claims needing sources. - Plus the kit defaults: `reviewer` (audits drafts against outline + audience + length) and `verifier` (confirms the export actually builds and reads correctly in the target format). ## Tools / CLIs / MCP / skills needed Check in environment-readiness; offer install, never auto-install: - **Export tooling** — `pdf` (final PDF + assembly/merge), `docx` (manuscripts, TOC, headings, letterhead), `pptx` (course/slide companion), `xlsx` only if the work needs data tables. `pandoc` for EPUB/format conversion if a book needs it. - **CHAIN these GLOBAL skills (the core of this type):** - `doc-coauthoring` — the structured co-authoring workflow: context transfer, iterative refinement, reader-verification. Drive outlining and drafting through it. - `pdf` / `docx` / `pptx` — produce the polished export(s). - `deep-research` — when chapters need sourced facts; cite and mark verified vs. reasoned. - `verify` — confirm the exported artifact opens and reads as intended. ## File / asset nudges (on top of the base set) Beyond CLAUDE.md, PROJEKT_.md, TASKS.md, DONE.md, README, `.claude/` — use a manuscript skeleton, not a code tree: - `OUTLINE.md` — the approved chapter/module structure with per-unit goals (the source of truth). - `chapters/` (or `modules/`) — one Markdown file per chapter/lesson, drafted in order. - `STYLE.md` — voice, tone, terminology, formatting, and language/locale conventions. - `research/` + `sources.md` — supporting notes and the citation list, if the work is sourced. - `assets/` — figures, diagrams, cover art; `export/` — the built PDF/DOCX/EPUB/deck outputs. - `front-matter/` — title page, TOC, preface/intro, about — for book/manual formats. ## Stack defaults & done-bar **Defaults:** Markdown chapters under `chapters/`, an approved `OUTLINE.md` as source of truth, a `STYLE.md` voice guide, `doc-coauthoring` driving the write loop, exported to PDF/DOCX (EPUB for books) via the document skills. Draft unit-by-unit; never generate the whole work in one pass. **Done-bar (all true):** the outline is **approved** by the user; **every chapter/lesson is drafted** to its outlined goal and within target length; the editor pass is done (consistent voice, no continuity breaks, claims sourced or flagged); the work is **exported** cleanly to the target format(s) and the export opens and reads correctly. ## Guardrails - **Outline approval is a gate** — do not bulk-draft against an unapproved outline. - **Honesty in claims:** any fact, statistic, quote, or citation must be real and verifiable — mark verified vs. reasoned, and flag anything the user must confirm. Never invent sources or data. - **No plagiarism** — write original prose; quote and attribute properly; study references for patterns, don't lift text. - **Match the agreed voice and length** — don't pad to hit a count or drift off the style guide; flag if the target length doesn't fit the material. - **AI-writing honesty** — if the user intends to publish, be candid about disclosure norms and don't dress up thin material as authoritative. - **No emojis in the deliverable** unless the user's style guide explicitly calls for them (standing user rule: typographic symbols only by default). - **Commits under the user's own name only (Skryx-L-A); never add Claude as a co-author.** ## Source & license This open-source skill is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [Skryx-L-A](https://github.com/Skryx-L-A) - **Source:** [Skryx-L-A/project-kit](https://github.com/Skryx-L-A/project-kit) - **License:** MIT Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** no - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: passed — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/skill-skryx-l-a-project-kit-content-writing - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/skryx-l-a - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
