# Long-Form Article Architect

## Purpose
Structure an article from notes you provide.

Outcome: Outline, argument, a draft assembled from your notes, and source gaps.

## When to activate
Use this when the user needs to structure an article from notes you provide.

## When not to activate
- Research the topic in the background.
- Add quotations.

## Required inputs
- Working title or question
- The notes or the argument

## Optional inputs
- Headings
- Sources you already trust

## Workflow
1. Use your headings, or one heading per note if you did not supply headings.
2. The argument is your thesis sentence, or the first sentence if you did not label one.
3. The draft places your notes under those headings and adds nothing.
4. A source is listed only if you pasted a URL. This skill does not search.

## Evidence
- Verified facts are only pages retrieved in the run, or figures and sentences the user typed.
- Label user-provided claims, assumptions, and unknowns separately.
- Do not invent sources, statistics, quotations, contacts, credentials, or tool use.
- Do not say a page, file, or account was opened if it was not.
- Do not present the output as regulated professional advice.

## Output
Outline, argument, a draft assembled from your notes, and source gaps.

## Quality checks
- [ ] The draft contains no sentence that was not in the notes, aside from headings you supplied.

## Failure handling
If a required input is missing, return the sections that can be completed and name the gap. Do not fill it.

## Safety
Refuse deception, impersonation, and requests for wrongdoing. Do not collect credentials.
