Details
From the project READMEWriting Pipeline pack — how to work here
A lean three-stage flow for short-to-medium-form writing (essays, newsletters, blog posts).
This skill is pack guidance. The platform
/open-knowledgeskill (read/write/preview/linking/grounding rules) still governs every markdown operation — this layers the drafting flow on top.
ideas/ one-line premises, captured before they fade
↓ commit to writing it
drafts/ active prose; CRDT history covers revisions (no named-revision folders)
↓ ship
published/ shipped work; treat as immutable
Per-folder rules + agent behaviors
ideas/— premises, headlines, fragments. Kept short on purpose; not a draft folder. Promote intodrafts/when you commit to the piece. Agent: review ideas idle more than 30 days and surface them to park or promote.drafts/— active prose. Frontmatter tracksstatus: drafting/review, word count, parent idea. Agent: review drafts idle more than 14 days; for drafts in review, suggest publication targets based ontarget_form. If a piece needs research notes, createdrafts/<slug>/research/on demand rather than a top-level folder.published/— shipped work; carriespublished_at,canonical_url,channel. Treat as immutable; to revise, copy to a new draft. Agent: on publish, auto-fillcanonical_urlwhen a Substack / Ghost / Mirror URL is pasted into the file.
Templates
Create with write({ document: { path, template: "<name>" } }). Templates carry only structure; section meaning lives here, not in the document body.
