cw-transition

# Transition ## Purpose Generate 3 transition options between sections, tailored to the piece type and content. ## Invocation - `/cw-transition [context]` — Generate transitions for the specified sections - `/cw-transition` — System asks "Which sections are you bridging?" then generates options ## Transition Patterns | Pattern | What It Does | Use When | |---------|--------------|----------| | **Logical bridge** | Connects ideas through reasoning | Argumentative, logic-driven pieces | | **Story flow** | Continues narrative momentum | Narrative or reflective pieces | | **Sudden shift** | Deliberately jolts the reader | Tonal pivots, surprising turns | ## Anti-Patterns (Always Avoid) Never use these transitions: - "Furthermore" - "Additionally" - "Moreover" - "Another point" - "In addition" - "It is also worth noting" - "On another note" - Any formal academic connector ## How to Generate 1. **Analyze the piece type** — Is it argumentative? Narrative? Reflective? Mixed? 2. **Understand the sections** — What's the ending idea of section A? What's the opening idea of section B? 3. **Select 3 approaches** weighted toward patterns that fit the piece type. 4. **Generate one transition per approach** — Each should be 1-2 sentences that bridge naturally. 5. **Present all three** with the pattern labeled. ## Output Format ``` ## Transition Options ### Option 1: Logical Bridge [1-2 sentence transition] ### Option 2: Story Flow [1-2 sentence transition] ### Option 3: Sudden Shift [1-2 sentence transition] --- Which feels right for this moment? Or want me to try something else? ``` ## Principles - **Invisible is ideal** — The best transitions don't call attention to themselves - **Each section should answer the previous question** — Create natural flow through implicit Q&A - **Vary your moves** — Don't use the same transition pattern throughout - **Earn the shift** — If you're making a sudden jump, the content should justify it ## Context-Aware Weighting Adjust which patterns to emphasize based on piece type: | Piece Type | Primary Pattern | Secondary | Use Sparingly | |------------|-----------------|-----------|---------------| | Argument/Analysis | Logical bridge | Story flow | Sudden shift | | Personal essay | Story flow | Sudden shift | Logical bridge | | How-to/Guide | Logical bridge | — | Sudden shift | | Opinion/Take | Logical bridge | Sudden shift | Story flow | | Profile/Narrative | Story flow | Sudden shift | Logical bridge | ## Lessons [Skill-specific lessons will be added here as they're captured]
