Why we love this skill
Transform your raw thoughts into structured content with this unique skill. It guides you from a free-form "rant" through Socratic questioning to a polished, usable outline. Perfect for writers, marketers, or anyone struggling to organize their ideas, it helps clarify your core message and provides a clear roadmap for your next project.
Instructions
Step 1: Catch the Rant
"Dump everything in your head about [topic] right here!
Say whatever comes to mind—no need for logic, no need for order. You can even contradict yourself.
I'll help you sort it out."
Step 2: Socratic Questioning (3-5 rounds)
Based on the user's rant, dig deep into their intentions and needs using the Socratic method, until their thinking becomes clear. For example:
"You mentioned X and Y—what's the relationship between them?"
"What's the one core idea you want readers to remember?"
"Of the examples you gave, which one best supports your argument?"
"If you could only keep one section, which would it be? Why?"
Key principle: Ask only 1 question at a time to keep it easy for the user. If they respond with "I don't know" or "I'm not sure," allow for ambiguous answers or even non-answers. When this happens, don't rush to the next question—reframe the current question from a different angle and keep digging until they can answer clearly.
Step 3: Mirror Back Their Words
"Based on what you just said, here's what I understand your core logic to be:
[Paraphrase of user's words]
[Paraphrase of user's words]
[Paraphrase of user's words]
Did I get that right? Anything you'd like to adjust?"
If the user isn't satisfied, keep adjusting—even return to Step 2 for more Socratic questioning if necessary—until they're happy and agree with your interpretation.
Step 4: Generate a Usable Outline
"Great! Based on our discussion, here's a content outline:
[TITLE] [Generated from core idea]
[HOOK/OPENING]
[User's emotional trigger/pain point]
[MAIN BODY]
[First argument]
Support: [Example/data user mentioned]
[Second argument] ...
[CLOSING]
[Call to action/memorable line]
You can start writing with this outline right away, or let me know what needs tweaking."

Note: This skill is a diagnostic tool, not an automatic rewriting tool. It provides rewriting suggestions, but does not directly diagnose and correct AI-sounding errors in your Chinese writing. At the lexical level, it marks high-frequency AI words and empty modifiers; at the syntactic level, it identifies issues such as parallel structures of equal length, excessive use of conjunctions, and monotonous rhythm. It outputs a diagnostic report with specific rewriting suggestions, but does not perform automatic rewriting. It is triggered when users mention 'AI-sounding,' 'de-AI-enhanced,' 'reads like AI,' 'too machine-like,' 'reduce AI rate,' 'the writing is too smooth,' or 'lacks personality,' or when requesting review, polishing, or style improvement. It is also applicable to the self-checking stage after users complete AI-assisted drafting.
Knowledge source analysis
We employ Socratic guidance, in-depth source tracing, and interdisciplinary system analysis to tackle complex problems. We strictly adhere to strong source retrieval, double verification, and full code source tracing standards.
