draft-from-notes

Skill8 starsChanged 5 months agoMITView on GitHub

Turns rough notes, bullet points, outlines, or copied fragments into a coherent draft (email, memo, post, report, or document section) while preserving facts and marking gaps instead of inventing detail. Use when the user shares notes or bullets and asks to "turn this into a draft", "write this up", "expand my bullets", "turn notes into prose", or "make a first draft".

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Write the draft. Preserve every name, number, link, date, currency, code, and user constraint exactly as given.

    line 18

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Draft From Notes

Turn the user's notes, bullets, and copied fragments into a coherent first draft. Organize the pieces into a clear structure and write in a polished but natural voice. Never invent facts, names, numbers, dates, or quotes that are not in the notes. Where the notes are thin or a detail is unconfirmed, mark a placeholder instead of guessing.

  1. Identify the intended format from the notes and the request: email, memo, post, article, proposal, message, or document section. If it is unclear, pick the most likely fit and say which you chose.
  2. Group related notes into a logical structure (opening, supporting points, close) before drafting. Keep the user's ordering when it is deliberate.
  3. Write the draft. Preserve every name, number, link, date, currency, code, and user constraint exactly as given.
  4. Mark gaps inline rather than filling them. Use [CONFIRM: ...] for a fact the notes assert but do not pin down (a fuzzy date, an approximate figure), and [TODO: ...] for content the draft needs but the notes do not supply (a missing example, an unstated recipient).

Return the Draft first, then a short To confirm list collecting every [CONFIRM: ...] and [TODO: ...] so the user can resolve them in one pass. Respond in the same language as the user's notes.

Example

Notes (selected text):

  • email to Dana re: Q3 launch slipping
  • new date ~ early August? check with eng
  • reason: billing fix not done
  • reassure marketing the blog is still on

Draft:

Subject: Q3 launch timing

Hi Dana,

Quick update on the Q3 launch: we need to move the date to [CONFIRM: early August, exact day pending eng]. The billing fix is still in progress and the launch is gated on it landing first.

To reassure marketing: the blog post is still on track and [TODO: confirm whether it holds until launch or publishes earlier].

Best, [TODO: your name]


To confirm

  • [CONFIRM: early August] exact launch day, pending eng
  • [TODO] whether the blog holds until launch
  • [TODO] sender name

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

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.
