Journalism and argumentation writing craft — inverted pyramid, lede, nut graph, kicker, explainer framing, PAGE frames, Toulmin argument (claim/rebuttal/qualifier), Hegelian dialectic, BBC due impartiality. Use when writing or reviewing news/explainer pieces, landscape overviews, or issue analyses that fairly juxtapose opposing views, or when a strong lede, sound argument structure, or balanced conclusion is needed.
Management-consulting writing craft — McKinsey SCR (Situation·Complication·Resolution), Minto Pyramid/MECE, BCG bold-bullet executive summary, so-what upfront, numeric precision, Forrester Landscape. Use when writing or reviewing an executive summary for decision-makers or a roll-up/landscape overview, or when a conclusion-first compressed structure, MECE completeness, or bold-bullet summary is needed.
Encyclopedic neutral-reference writing craft — NPOV (attribute facts not opinions, due weight, neutral faction labels, verdict restraint), summary style and Coatrack avoidance, wikilink conventions (link density, first-mention, slug alias, abbreviation glossing). Use when writing or reviewing a neutral encyclopedic/wiki reference, landscape overview, hub, or source page, or when a source-based connected document that advocates no particular viewpoint is needed.
Forces the laziest solution that actually works, simplest, shortest, most minimal. Channels a senior dev who has seen everything: question whether the task needs to exist at all (YAGNI), reach for the standard library before custom code, native platform features before dependencies, one line before fifty. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra. Use whenever the user says "ponytail", "be lazy", "lazy mode", "simplest solution", "minimal solution", "yagni", "do less", or "shortest path", and whenever they complain about over-engineering, bloat, boilerplate, or unnecessary dependencies.
Verifiable-attribution and citation-discipline craft — atomic claim decomposition, evidence grading (primary/analysis/forecast tiers), claimant attribution, citation typing (cites/references/contradicts/defines), source anchoring (Xanadu). Use when writing or reviewing a reference or synthesis page that attributes and cites source-based claims so they stay traceable, or when claim attribution, citation typing, or evidence grading is needed.
Guideline-authoring craft for instruction SoTs (.claude/ guides, CLAUDE.md, plan files) — operative rules vs recital, MUST/SHOULD/MAY force tiers, pruning, bloat control, blind review protocol, deliberation-narrative ban. Use when writing, editing, or reviewing an agent instruction file, policy, runbook, command SoT, or plan file, or when a guideline change needs a minimal-edit or blind review.
