The task requires verified external research or citations but no usable sources are provided and no research method is authorized.

The top general skill requires factual claims to be backed by provided sources; it does not itself document external-source acquisition.

Editorial confidence: high
Adapt the chosen writing workflow with an approved research-and-citation process first.

Use it forChinese WeChat or self-media articles needing a defined writing style, research step, title options, layout guidance, and optional artwork or publishing workflow.

Avoid ifAvoid for a neutral general report, or when the WeChat-specific packaging and optional image/publishing steps would add unnecessary scope.

ActionInstall

EditsChoose the writing style, research the topic, draft the article, generate title options, then produce layout and optional image guidance.

SetupDrafting itself has no documented prerequisite. Optional automated publishing requires WeChat credentials; optional PNG export checks for the draw.io CLI.

Inspect workflow and compatibility details

ContextProvide the topic or brief, desired style, source material, and whether WeChat formatting, images, or draft upload are needed.

OutputA styled Chinese article with title options and formatting guidance; optional Draw.io/PNG assets and WeChat draft-upload workflow.

ControlPrescriptive, multi-step content-production workflow with style-file selection and optional publication operations.

InvocationNot yet mapped from the source.

Install scopeNot yet mapped from the source.

Agent fitStrong specialized alternative for long-form Chinese public-account content; its lower Popular rank than the first selection is offset by a broader documented production workflow.

Watch outThe workflow includes optional external search, image generation/export, and publishing; use only the drafting steps when those additions are out of scope.

Use it forA 1,000–1,500-character Chinese critical or opinion article that develops one idea through successive layers and then receives a deliberate rewrite pass.

Avoid ifAvoid for broad, source-heavy reports, multi-section reference articles, or output that cannot use its required Org-mode file convention.

ActionInstall

EditsState one precise thesis, deepen it through successive questions or reversals, then apply the oral-read, anti-AI-pattern, and surprise checks.

SetupThe documented output requires Org-mode syntax and writes an Org file under `~/Documents/notes/`.

Inspect workflow and compatibility details

ContextProvide a single viewpoint or claim to examine, the intended reader, and any non-negotiable facts or examples.

OutputA 1,000–1,500-character Chinese critical article, rewritten in Chinese and saved as a timestamped Org file.

ControlHighly opinionated, narrow-depth writing and revision method rather than a general report template.

InvocationNot yet mapped from the source.

Install scopeNot yet mapped from the source.

Agent fitUseful third option for focused Chinese thought pieces. It directly performs the task, but its scope and file-format constraints make it less generally useful than the two higher-ranked selections.

Watch outIt is deliberately constrained to one argument and a fixed length, and its prescribed Org-file output may not suit the requested deliverable.
