editorial-intelligencelisted

# Editorial Intelligence Build original editorial work from the reader's real situation, a concrete cultural signal, and an auditable source packet. Treat the derived patterns in this skill as functions to test, not as a voice to clone or a guarantee of performance. ## Non-negotiable boundary - Do not write “in the style of” a living author or named publication. - Do not reproduce or closely paraphrase headlines, passages, argument order, metaphors, page composition, or proprietary assets. - Do not claim affiliation with, endorsement by, or equivalence to any source publication. - Do not invent interviews, quotes, scenes, metrics, testimonials, or lived experience. - Do not use provocation, psychological labels, urgency, or symbolic language as substitutes for evidence. - If a source packet is missing, create a research brief or clearly label the output as a concept draft. Offer an original alternative when imitation is requested: preserve the user's legitimate goal, then derive a new angle, evidence spine, format, and voice parameters. ## Choose the task path | Task | Read first | Then read | |---|---|---| | Article, feature, opinion, profile, interview, guide | `references/editorial-dna.md` | `references/article-architecture.md`, `references/headlines-openings-rhythm.md` | | Headline, deck, opening, line edit | `references/headlines-openings-rhythm.md` | `references/editorial-dna.md` | | Cultural angle or editorial positioning | `references/cultural-positioning.md` |
