Soft Article Writer

Source: https://github.com/aipoch/medical-research-skills

When to Use

• Use this skill when the request matches its documented task boundary.
• Use it when the user can provide the required inputs and expects a structured deliverable.
• Prefer this skill for repeatable, checklist-driven execution rather than open-ended brainstorming.

Key Features

• Scope-focused workflow aligned to: Generates high-quality promotional soft articles with structured outlines, tailored introductions, and optimized titles based on product info and hot topics. Use when you need to write promotional content, "soft articles" (), or marketing copy that integrates product highlights with current trends, news, or industry insights.
• Packaged executable path(s): scripts/outline_utils.py plus 1 additional script(s).
• Structured execution path designed to keep outputs consistent and reviewable.

Dependencies

• Python: 3.10+. Repository baseline for current packaged skills.
• Third-party packages: not explicitly version-pinned in this skill package. Add pinned versions if this skill needs stricter environment control.

Example Usage

cd "20260316/scientific-skills/Others/soft-article-writer"
python -m py_compile scripts/outline_utils.py
python scripts/outline_utils.py --help

Example run plan:

1. Confirm the user input, output path, and any required config values.
2. Edit the in-file CONFIG block or documented parameters if the script uses fixed settings.
3. Run python scripts/outline_utils.py with the validated inputs.
4. Review the generated output and return the final artifact with any assumptions called out.

Implementation Details

See ## Workflow above for related details.

• Execution model: validate the request, choose the packaged workflow, and produce a bounded deliverable.
• Input controls: confirm the source files, scope limits, output format, and acceptance criteria before running any script.
• Primary implementation surface: scripts/outline_utils.py with additional helper scripts under scripts/.
• Parameters to clarify first: input path, output path, scope filters, thresholds, and any domain-specific constraints.
• Output discipline: keep results reproducible, identify assumptions explicitly, and avoid undocumented side effects.

Validation Shortcut

Run this minimal command first to verify the supported execution path:

python scripts/outline_utils.py --help

Soft Article Writer

This skill orchestrates the creation of a promotional "soft article" (). It takes product details and marketing materials (hotspots, news, insights) as input, generates a structured outline, writes tailored sections (Introduction, Body, Conclusion), and optimizes titles.

Inputs

The user should provide the following information (or the skill should prompt for it):

1. Product (product): Description of the product to be promoted. (Required)
2. Highlights (highlights): Key selling points or highlights of the product. (Required)
3. Material Type (type): The combination of materials provided.
   • 1: Hotspot + Insights
   • 2: News + Insights
   • 3: Single Material (Hotspot / News / Insights)
4. Materials:
   • topics: Hotspot content (if applicable).
   • news: News content (if applicable).
   • insights: Industry insights/Dry goods (if applicable).
5. Optional:
   • theme: Specific theme for the article.
   • style: Writing style (e.g., professional, humorous).
   • structure: Specific structure requirements.

Workflow

1. Generate Outline

Generate a structured outline based on the inputs. The outline must explicitly contain "Introduction" (), "Body" (), and "Conclusion" () sections marked with bold headers (e.g., ****).

2. Extract Outline Sections

Use the scripts/outline_utils.py script to parse the generated outline text and extract the specific guidance for Introduction, Body, and Conclusion.

python scripts/outline_utils.py --text "<generated_outline_text>"

The script returns a JSON object with introduction, body, and conclusion fields.

3. Generate Introduction

Generate the Introduction section. The content must be tailored based on the type input:

• Type 1 (Hotspot + Insights): Integrate topics and insights.
• Type 2 (News + Insights): Integrate news and insights.
• Type 3 (Single): Integrate the available material (topics, news, or insights).

Constraints:

• Must align with theme and style.
• Must naturally lead into the product without being too salesy.
• Length: 300-500 words.

4. Generate Body

Generate the Body section using:

• product and highlights.
• The body outline extracted in Step 2.
• The generated Introduction (for context).

Constraints:

• Word count: 800-1500 words.
• Must cover product highlights.

5. Generate Conclusion

Generate the Conclusion section using:

• The conclusion outline extracted in Step 2.
• All previous context.

Constraints:

• Length: 150-250 words.
• Must include a Call to Action (CTA).
