# Newsletter Writer Skill — /newsletter-writer
Weekly newsletter pipeline: scaffold structure, gather data, query the author, synthesize in their voice, review, send.
**Worked example throughout:** a fictional newsletter, **The Sleep Brief**, written by a popular-science sleep author whose community site is `deeprest.example.com` and whose X handle is `@sleepauthor`. Substitute your own newsletter name, brand, domain, and handle — they live in your project's `config.md` (see Configuration).
## Philosophy
This newsletter is **behind the scenes**, not a content recap. Readers can go read the tweets and articles themselves. The newsletter gives them what they can't get anywhere else: WHY the author wrote it, what they were trying to achieve, the deeper reasoning that didn't fit in 280 characters, and how the author's project interacted with the world that week. Every section answers "what was I thinking?" not "what did I post."
## Commands
- `/newsletter` or `/newsletter draft` — Full pipeline: scaffold → gather → query → enhanced scaffold → draft → review
- `/newsletter scaffold` — Create doc with empty skeleton structure (header, HRs, placeholder sections, footer)
- `/newsletter gather` — Data collection only (metrics, top tweets, article)
- `/newsletter review` — Pre-send checklist + /polish 90/100 scoring on every section
- `/newsletter send` — Send via OpenWriter newsletter system
- `/newsletter status` — Subscriber count, last sent, domain status
