What is an evidence-first methodology?

It is an approach that prioritizes identifying required data, benchmarks, and citations before writing any prose, ensuring the content is substantively backed by facts.

How does the 'Scope Guardian' role work?

The Scope Guardian explicitly defines boundaries in the outline bullets, making 'in-scope' and 'out-of-scope' criteria clear to prevent silent scope drift in the final draft.

Why does the skill forbid prose during the outline phase?

Forbidding prose prevents 'hollow writing' and ensures the logical structure and evidence requirements are sound before the writer commits to specific phrasing.

What inputs are required for the Outline Builder?

The primary input is a taxonomy.yml file. It can also utilize optional style reports and reference texts to calibrate section counts and typical subsection sizing.

Transforms research taxonomies into rigorous, evidence-first outlines for technical papers and structured documentation.

The Structured Outline Builder is a specialized skill designed for the 'structure' phase of technical writing and research. It converts raw taxonomies into checkable, bulleted skeletons that prevent 'hollow writing' by mandating intermediate artifacts like Research Questions (RQ), Intent, and Evidence Needs for every subsection. By enforcing a bullet-only constraint and using specialized role-based guidance—including Outline Architect and Scope Guardian—the skill ensures that the resulting outline is mappable, verifiable, and optimized for high-density information delivery before any prose is drafted.
