writing-beats
Skill0 starsChanged 6 months agoMITView on GitHub
以 beats 旅程的方式塑造文章,类似 choose-your-own-adventure。用户从 raw material 中选择一个 starting beat,你只写那个 beat,然后提供下一步 pivot 选项,逐 beat 推进,直到文章自然结束。当用户有 raw material,并想把它组装成 narrative 而不是 argument 时使用。

liufeng1976Skillsetup-ts-deep-modules

boyingliu01Skillbatch-grill-me
A relentless interview that asks every frontier question at once, round by round. Thin alias of `grilling` (#540) — upstream mattpocock/skills absorbed this protocol into grilling; XP-Gate keeps this name as the sprint-flow Phase 2 entry point so orchestration docs stay stable.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Files
<what-to-do>用户已经传入(或将传入)一个 raw material 的 markdown file。
如果用户没有说明 article 保存位置,只问一次并记住 path。
然后运行 beat-by-beat journey:
- 从 raw material 中写 2–3 个 candidate starting beats。每个都是进入文章的不同入口。写入 article file 前先展示给用户。用户选择一个。预览写完后可能通向哪些 beats,像是让用户稍微看到路的前方。
- 用户选择 starting beat 后,只把那个 beat 写入 article file。一个 beat 可以是一句话,也可以是几段:由那个 beat 自然需要的形状决定。到此停止。
- 从磁盘重新读取 article file。然后提供 2–3 个 candidate next beats:从文章当前状态出发可 pivot 的不同方向。
- 循环 steps 2–4,直到文章自然结束。
</what-to-do><supporting-info>What is a beat
Beat 是旅程中的一个 move。它只做一件事:设置场景、落下观点、提出问题、插入 aside、扭转 angle。然后它停下,把读者留在下一个 beat 可以 pivot 的地方。
Beat 的大小由它需要什么决定:
- 如果 move 本身就只有一句话,那就是一句话("And then nothing happened for three weeks.")。
- 如果 move 需要 setup,就是短段落。
- 如果 beat 是自包含的 vignette、argument 或 example,可以是多段。
如果一个 “beat” 需要五段和三个 subheadings,它就不是 beat,而是两个 beats 粘在一起。拆开。
Writing one beat
一旦选定 beat,只把_那个 beat_写入 article file。不要写下一个 beat。
从 raw pile 中抽取材料填充 beat。你可以 paraphrase、split、recombine 或 quote。Pile 是 quarry。
Ending the journey
文章在 journey 完整时结束,而不是 pile 为空时结束。大多数 piles 会有没用上的 leftover fragments。这没关系;这正是拥有超过所需 raw material 的意义。
Writing rhythm
- 一次 append 一个 beat。永远不要提前写。
- 每次写入前都从磁盘重新读取 article file。绝对保留用户 edits。
- 如果用户大幅编辑了之前的 beat,让它改变接下来会发生什么。
- 如果用户说 "rewrite that beat" 或 "go back and try a different beat 3",照做:原地编辑,只动对应内容。

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
