Providers required

When to use this skill

• "Write me an X Article about X"
• "Draft a long-form X post on Y"
• The user explicitly asks for an Article (not a tweet, not a thread).

Setup

notslop init configured. ZE key set.

Steps

1. Pull a wide window — Articles benefit from comprehensive context:

``bash notslop digest "<TOPIC>" --since 30d --top 30 --for-content ``

Optionally also pull themes:

``bash notslop pulse "<TOPIC>" --window 30d --format json ``

1. Structure the Article around 3-5 themes from the pulse output. Sections:

• Title (H1): specific claim, not generic. Max 80 chars.
• Intro (1-2 paragraphs): the hook + what the reader will learn. Cite the strongest data point in the intro.
• 3-5 body sections, each with H2. Each section anchored in 1-2 specific data points from the digest.
• Takeaway (closing 1-2 paragraphs): what the reader should do or think differently.

1. Hard constraints:

• 2500-6000 chars typical (X Articles allow up to 25k but readability drops fast above 6k)
• No corporate filler ("In today's rapidly evolving landscape...")
• No hashtags unless explicitly requested
• At least 4 specific citations to source posts/threads (URL or @handle reference)
• One concrete example per body section minimum

1. Show the draft with char count. List all source URLs at the end.

1. If user asks for variants, regenerate with a different angle (contrarian / educational / case-study).
