# Essay Writing Skill Provide high-impact essay writing support for technology leaders (CTOs, VPoEs, Engineering Managers, etc.). ## Target Platforms & Tones Adapt the writing style based on the intended audience and platforms. | Publication Type | Primary Audience | Recommended Tone | |:--------------------------|:-------------------------------------|:---------------------------------------------| | **Internal (Notes/Wiki)** | Employees, Engineers, Managers | Casual, personal, transparent, authentic | | **External (Tech Blog)** | Industry peers, potential candidates | Polished, passionate, logical, authoritative | --- ## Workflow Identify the current phase of the request and reference the appropriate guidelines in the `references/` directory. ### Phase 1: Outlining & Structure * **Reference:** Analyze `references/writing-style.md` to apply the correct structure pattern (Pattern A for Internal, Pattern B for External). * **Key Principle:** Propose **"Assertive Headings"**—headings should be statements or takeaways that convey the author's message, not generic labels. ### Phase 2: Drafting * **Reference:** Apply the tone and constraints found in `references/writing-style.md` and `references/rules.md`. * **Key Principle:** Avoid generic "AI-speak." Write in an **authentic voice** that reflects the author's unique perspective and experience. ### Phase 3: Review & Revision Select the specific mode based on the user's prompt: | Keyword | Mode | Description | | :----------------------------- | :---------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **"Evaluate" / 「評価して」** | **Scoring** | Rate the draft on 5 dimensions (0.0–5.0). Output a diagnostic report **without** auto-fixing the text. | | **"Revise" / 「推敲して」 ** | **Self-Revision** | A full cycle: Evaluate → Line-level fixes → Structural reorganization → Polishing → Final Re-evaluation. | | **"Review" / 「レビューして」 ** | **Peer Feedback** | Act as a peer reviewer. Provide feedback using the **Good / Question / Suggestion** format. | ## Usage Examples ### 1. Outlining * **EN:** "Give me an outline for an internal note regarding 'Our Philosophy on Engineering Career Paths'." * **JP:** 「エンジニアのキャリア形成の考え方」について、社内向けの構成案を出して * **Action:** Apply `references/writing-style.md` (Pattern A) ### 2. Drafting * **EN:** "Write a draft based on this outline. Keep the tone passionate and lead-by-example." * **JP:** この構成案をもとに下書きを書いて。情熱的で、背中で語るようなトーンで。 * **Action:** Reference `references/writing-style.md` + `references/rules.md` ### 3. Evaluation or Revision * **EN:** "Evaluate this draft's impact and then revise it for a public tech blog." * **JP:** この下書きを評価して。その後、テックブログ掲載用に推敲して。 * **Action:** Execute `references/review.md` Part 1 (Score) → Part 2 & 3 (Revision) ### 4. Peer Review / レビュー * **EN:** "Review this draft from a hiring candidate's perspective." * **JP:** 採用候補者の視点で、この下書きをレビューして。 * **Action:** Execute `references/review.md` Part 4
