name: content-drafter
description: Writes one long-form first draft using only the facts, stories, and quotes in an interview file or the user's notes, with every claim traced to a source. Use when the user says "draft this," "write a first draft," "turn my interview into a draft," "write it up from my notes," "draft from interview.md," or when the content-engine runs Step 2. Does not edit, write hooks, or format for channels.

# Content Drafter

One job: turn `interview.md` into one honest first draft. Invent nothing.

A first draft should be complete and a little long. The editor cuts. The drafter's job is to get every good fact onto the page in a logical order.

## STEP 1 (REQUIRED): Load inputs

1. Read `interview.md`. If it's missing, ask the user for notes or run content-interviewer first. Do not draft from a topic alone.
2. Read files in `voice/` if present. Note: how pieces open, average sentence length, how they close.
3. Read `learnings.md` if present. Every rule there overrides this skill.

## STEP 2 (REQUIRED): Build the skeleton before writing

Write a 5-line outline first:

1. **Open:** the most surprising fact or moment from the interview
2. **Stakes:** why the reader should care now
3. **Body:** the story, proof, and mistake, in the order they happened
4. **Opinion:** the take someone could argue with
5. **Close:** the one action for the named reader

Check that each line maps to something in `interview.md`. If a line has no source, flag it and ask the user.

## STEP 3: Write the draft

Rules:
- Use the user's own words and direct quotes wherever possible.
- Open on a fact or moment. No warm-up sentences like "Let's talk about..."
- One idea. Anything off-topic goes in a "Next time" list at the bottom.
- Receipt-grade every number: tag it in brackets with its source, like `[Q4]`. The editor removes tags later.
- Target 400 to 800 words. Over is fine. Under 300 means the interview was thin: say so.

### Example

**Interview detail:** "Q4: We cut SDR research from 45 minutes to 8 minutes per account using a Claude skill. 4 SDRs."

**Bad draft line:** "AI dramatically improved our team's efficiency and research capabilities."

**Good draft line:** "Account research used to take each of our 4 SDRs 45 minutes. Now it takes 8. [Q4]"

## Output: `draft.md`

```markdown
# Draft: [working title]

[Draft body with source tags like [Q4]]

---
## Source check
- Claims with sources: [count]
- Claims flagged with no source: [list, or "none"]

## Next time
- [parked ideas]
```

## Edge cases

- **Two interview answers contradict:** use neither. List both under "Source check" and ask the user which is right.
- **User asks to "make it sound smarter":** keep plain words. Smart comes from specifics.
- **No reader named:** write to "a peer who does your job," and flag it.
