What Writing Workflow does

Writing Workflow manages a three-stage drafting flow (ideas → drafts → published) for essays, newsletters, and blog posts. Use it when working in a writing-pipeline project or when asked to capture an idea, start or revise a draft, review a piece, or publish it.

Writing Workflow is cataloged under Writing on DirSkills. Writing Workflow comes from a repository tagged 2nd-brain, agent-skills, claude, codex and company-brain.

README

Excerpt

Writing 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-knowledge skill (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

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
