Article Writing
A five-phase workflow for creating high-quality thought leadership articles: reader briefing, research/validation, strategic writing, pre-publication critical review, and publication-package review. Use when exploring a book, concept, or trend and connecting it to your expertise.
Load-with contract for publication review. Article drafting, headline work, article-package review, and publication-readiness review load the full prose-quality stack (synthesis-content-quality, synthesis-writing-pitfalls, synthesis-writing-craft, plus the author's private voice skill where one exists) and the framing plane: synthesis-reader-briefing, synthesis-content-framing, and this skill. A prose-stack-only route reviews bodies while the title/lede/reader-entry plane goes unexamined — the documented Set A failure mode: a full-body review cleared 29 of 30 packages whose titles then failed a title-only skim (6 keep / 8 tune / 16 replace). Do not load the framing plane for every email or sentence edit; the trigger is article-level framing or publication readiness.
Phase 0: Reader Briefing (REQUIRED PRECONDITION)
Hard precondition. Before any research or drafting begins, write a four-paragraph reader briefing using the synthesis-reader-briefing skill. The briefing answers four questions: who is this for, what do they bring to the page, what does the article ask of them, what does the reader leave with.
The briefing lives as .briefing.md adjacent to the draft (in the same directory as the article markdown file). Without a committed briefing, this skill refuses to proceed. The friction is intentional — drafting without a briefing is the documented failure mode of inheriting source-material framing in articles meant for an external audience.
The briefing is the audit anchor that Phase 2 (writing) and Phase 3 (review) compare against. The article's structural decisions (universal-frame-first vs scene-first vs claim-first vs problem-first) follow from the briefing's answers, not from a template.
See synthesis-reader-briefing for the four questions, worked examples across genres (technical, personal-narrative, opinion, advisory), and the audit discipline.
Phase 1: Research & Validation
Mission
Conduct thorough research and provide verified, cited information before writing begins. Accuracy is paramount — every claim, quote, and reference must be verifiable.
Critical Research Principles
- Cite Everything: Provide URLs, page numbers, or specific sources for all information
- Flag Uncertainty: If you cannot verify something, explicitly state "Cannot verify" or "Paraphrased concept - not direct quote"
- Distinguish Direct Quotes from Summaries: Make clear what is verbatim vs. interpretation
- Confidence Levels: Rate each piece of information:
- Verified: Found direct source
- Likely accurate: Found multiple corroborating sources
- Uncertain: Found reference but could not verify
- Cannot verify: No source found
Research Deliverables
A. Source Material Research
If exploring a book, article, or specific source:
- Direct quotes with page numbers or citations
- Core concepts and how they are explained
- Key examples or case studies used
- Related frameworks or principles
- Public discourse and reception
- Notable critiques or limitations
B. Author's Writing Archive Analysis
Search existing content for:
- Relevant past posts (title, URL, date, key themes)
- Established voice patterns and frameworks
- Recurring terminology and characteristic examples
- Career experiences already written about publicly
- Topics where established expertise exists
C. Integration Opportunities
- Natural connections between source material and the author's expertise
- Where the author's perspective adds unique value
- Contrast opportunities (where nuance or respectful disagreement applies)
- 8-10 specific past posts to hyperlink with rationale for each
D. Anecdote Development Guidelines
Safe territory for illustrative stories:
- Generic patterns true to experience without naming specific employers
- Engineering/product/leadership challenges
- Implementation lessons
- Cross-functional dynamics
Handle carefully:
- Specific company cultures or politics
- Individual colleagues or executives
- Proprietary systems or strategies
E. Competitive Landscape
- Recent thought leadership on this topic
- What angle seems underexplored
- Where genuinely new thinking can be added
Research Output Format
- Executive Summary (2-3 paragraphs on findings)
- Each deliverable section above
- Red Flags section (anything that could not be verified)
- Recommended Next Steps before proceeding to writing
Phase 2: Writing the Article
Mission
Craft an authentic, insightful article that:
- Explores the topic with depth and nuance
- Connects it to the author's expertise and experience
- Establishes peer-level thinking, not just application of others' ideas
- Feels genuinely written by the author
- Is accurate and verifiable in every factual claim
Critical Writing Principles
Accuracy First
- Use ONLY information from the research phase
- Only use Verified and Likely accurate items
- If additional information is needed, ask rather than inventing it
Authentic Voice
- Study voice patterns from past posts
- Write like explaining to a smart colleague over coffee
- Use characteristic terminology and examples
- Reference actual experiences and body of work
Strategic Positioning
- Position the author as someone who independently thinks deeply about these topics
- Show how expertise creates unique insights
- Make content valuable beyond any specific context (evergreen)
Content Architecture
1. Opening Hook (Personal Experience)
- Start with a specific, visceral moment from career experience
- Make it real and human, with stakes
- Link to one relevant past post naturally
2. Core Concept Exploration
- Unique interpretation of the topic
- How domain expertise informs the perspective
- Why this matters now
3. Industry Application
- Why specific industries struggle or succeed with this
- Concrete but anonymized examples
- Pattern recognition across career experience
4. Unique Value-Add
- Where the article goes beyond the source material
- Where technical/domain expertise creates insights
- The bridge between theory and practice
5. The Nuance
- Show critical thinking, not blind acceptance
- Add crucial nuance
- Demonstrate wisdom, not just intelligence
6. Forward-Looking Implications
- Where this leads
- Practical call to action
- Ongoing commitment (subtle)
Voice and Tone
Characteristics:
- Conversational but substantive
- Confident without arrogance
- Specific over abstract
- Intellectually generous (credit others, build on ideas)
Sentence structure:
- Vary length for rhythm
- Use occasional fragments for emphasis
- Ask rhetorical questions
- Include "you" to make it conversational
Avoid:
- Corporate jargon or buzzwords
- Excessive qualifiers (very, really, quite)
- Passive voice
- AI-typical phrases ("delve into," "it's important to note," "in conclusion")
- Words like "honored," "humbled," "excited," "thrilled," "privileged"
Hyperlink Strategy
Target: 6-8 hyperlinks to past posts.
Integration principles:
- Weave links naturally into sentences
- Each link should add depth, not distract
- No "see also" sections — embed in narrative
- Distribute throughout the post
Example:
- Good: "As I wrote when introducing [project], the key to useful AI assistants is..."
- Bad: "To learn more about AI assistants, see this post."
Images and Alt Text
Write alt text the moment you place an image — never leave it for later. Captionless images () are the single largest source of accessibility debt in a migrated or fast-drafted archive; the cheapest time to describe an image is when you add it and know what it shows.
For every image:
- Content image (carries information — a diagram, screenshot, chart, photo of a person or place, a book cover, a tweet screenshot): write specific, descriptive alt text. Describe what the image shows and what a reader who can't see it needs to know. For a screenshot of text (tweet, chat, slide), include the key text in the alt.
- Decorative image (a pure visual flourish with no informational content): use explicit empty alt,
→is acceptable ONLY when the image is genuinely decorative. Prefer to state intent so a later reader doesn't mistake it for missing alt. - A caption is not a substitute for alt text, and alt text is not a substitute for a caption. If a visible caption already conveys the description, the alt can be shorter, but it should still exist.
Markdown patterns:
- Plain image:
 - Linked image:
[](https://publisher.example/book)
Do not infer an image's content from its filename or the article's topic alone. A file named tony_ridder.jpg in an article about Tony Ridder may be a portrait — or a scan of a letter he wrote. View the image (or rely on a caption you can verify) before describing it.
Ethical Storytelling and Anonymization
CRITICAL: Name removal is NOT anonymization. Removing company names while keeping the scenario, specific numbers, stakeholder dynamics, vocabulary, and industry context creates a fingerprint that names are the least important part of. The scenario IS the identifier.
Before using any real example, apply all four tests:
- Outsider test: A stranger reads this. Could they narrow it to a small set of companies or situations?
- Insider test: Someone who knows your work reads this. Does the example confirm something they suspected but couldn't prove? Does it reveal an internal decision that was meant to stay internal?
- Adversary test: A reporter or competitor reads this. Could this become evidence or ammunition?
- Irony test: Does publishing this example undermine the very thing the example describes protecting?
If ANY test fails, the example cannot be used regardless of whether names are removed.
Especially dangerous: Operational decisions as teaching material. If a decision was made to manage risk (changing terminology, restructuring a team, pivoting a strategy), describing it publicly re-creates the risk. An article about careful language choices that reveals you made those choices
