| name | notslop-write-x-article |
| description | Use when the user wants an X long-form Article (the "Notes" / Articles format, up to 25k chars). Structured like a blog post with H1/H2 headers, intro, sections, conclusion. |
Providers required
When to use this skill
- "Write me an X Article about X"
- "Draft a long-form X post on Y"
- The user explicitly asks for an Article (not a tweet, not a thread).
Setup
notslop init configured. ZE key set.
Steps
-
Pull a wide window — Articles benefit from comprehensive context:
notslop digest "<TOPIC>" --since 30d --top 30 --for-content
Optionally also pull themes:
notslop pulse "<TOPIC>" --window 30d --format json
-
Structure the Article around 3-5 themes from the pulse output. Sections:
- Title (H1): specific claim, not generic. Max 80 chars.
- Intro (1-2 paragraphs): the hook + what the reader will learn. Cite the strongest data point in the intro.
- 3-5 body sections, each with H2. Each section anchored in 1-2 specific data points from the digest.
- Takeaway (closing 1-2 paragraphs): what the reader should do or think differently.
-
Hard constraints:
- 2500-6000 chars typical (X Articles allow up to 25k but readability drops fast above 6k)
- No corporate filler ("In today's rapidly evolving landscape...")
- No hashtags unless explicitly requested
- At least 4 specific citations to source posts/threads (URL or @handle reference)
- One concrete example per body section minimum
-
Show the draft with char count. List all source URLs at the end.
-
If user asks for variants, regenerate with a different angle (contrarian / educational / case-study).
