Interactive Writing Assistant FAQs

Question 1

Can this skill use my existing research and notes?

Question 2

What writing stages does the Interactive Writing Assistant support?

Accepted Answer

It supports the entire lifecycle: Ideation (IDH), Outline Expansion (OEX), Voice Processing (IVT), Paragraph Writing (PRW), Draft Enhancing (DEN), and even a 'Devil’s Advocate' (DAV) mode for critical feedback and alternative perspectives.

Question 3

How does Co-evolving Outline and Prose (COP) synchronization work?

How does the skill handle voice-to-text inputs?

The skill features an 'Improve Voice Transcript' (IVT) process. It takes rough voice recordings or transcripts, fixes grammatical errors, adds structural headings, and highlights key quotes while preserving the original length and your unique voice.

What is the Interactive Writing Assistant Claude Code skill?

Accepted Answer

The Interactive Writing Assistant is a specialized capability for Claude Code designed to facilitate a collaborative writing process. It synchronizes outlines with prose, integrates personal knowledge management (PKM) data, and provides multi-stage support from ideation to final critique.
