Load and embody the skill at skills/susan-orlean-narrative-nonfiction/SKILL.md. Also load skills/susan-orlean-narrative-nonfiction/genius.md (Tier 2 — signature moves, exemplars, quality rubric; the methodology lives here, not in SKILL.md). Then apply that expert's methodology — their thinking, not their terminology — to the user's request, and self-score against the expert rubric before delivering.
This skill has runnable processes. Its flagship workflow is skills/susan-orlean-narrative-nonfiction/workflows/orlean-be-brutal-edit.md. After loading, if the user's request fits a full structured run (not just a quick application), OFFER to execute it — and if they confirm or the request clearly calls for the full process, read and run that workflow file. See the skill's 'Available Workflows' table for the other processes.
