Newsletter Generation Skill

Systematically identify what's missing in non-fiction writing—both blind spots (inherent limitations) and blank spots (gaps that could be addressed). Use before finalizing non-fiction or when feedback feels incomplete.

Diagnose world-level story problems. This skill should be used when settings feel thin, institutions feel designed rather than evolved, economies don't make sense, or non-human species feel like humans in costume. Keywords: worldbuilding, setting, world, institutions, economy, culture, species, consequences.

Create effective summaries by matching summarization type to purpose, audience, and context. Use when asked to summarize, create TLDR, condense content, or create executive summaries. Keywords: summary, TLDR, condense, executive summary, abstract.

Diagnose why names don't work and guide creation of names that do. Use for brand names, product names, character names, place names, and titles when something feels off or when systematic naming is needed.

Diagnose and improve humor using systems thinking. Use when jokes fall flat, when humor feels forced, when punchlines don't land, or when you want to systematically enhance comedic writing. Treats jokes as engineerable connection systems.

Structure scenes and control pacing using scene-sequel rhythm. Use when individual scenes work but don't accumulate, when pacing feels off (too rushed or too slow), when transitions feel mechanical, or when readers can follow but aren't compelled forward.
