How to work in a Writing Pipeline project (the `writing-pipeline` starter pack): a three-stage drafting flow, ideas → drafts → published. Read when the project has these folders, OR when asked to capture an idea, start or revise a draft, review a piece before it ships, or publish it. Carries the stage flow and review behaviors so that guidance does not live inside template bodies or folder descriptions. Complements the platform `open-knowledge` skill; does not replace it.

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

  • ideas/ — premises, headlines, fragments. Kept short on purpose; not a draft folder. Promote into drafts/ 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 tracks status: drafting/review, word count, parent idea. Agent: review drafts idle more than 14 days; for drafts in review, suggest publication targets based on target_form. If a piece needs research notes, create drafts/<slug>/research/ on demand rather than a top-level folder.
  • published/ — shipped work; carries published_at, canonical_url, channel. Treat as immutable; to revise, copy to a new draft. Agent: on publish, auto-fill canonical_url when 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.
