Article Writing Mode

Use this skill to produce site-ready articles for the AI-learning-notes site. Optimize for consistency, readability, maintainability, and a Taiwan-friendly technical voice across the whole article family.

Source of truth

• Read the shared article contract first:
  • C:\Users\User\3KLife\temp_workspace\AI-learning-notes\assets\css\article-base.css
  • C:\Users\User\3KLife\temp_workspace\AI-learning-notes\assets\js\article-base.js
  • C:\Users\User\3KLife\temp_workspace\AI-learning-notes\docs\article-format-handoff-summary.md
• Treat the homepage, article index, and representative article pages as the visual baseline.
• If homepage tokens or shell rules change, article pages must follow.

Writing workflow

1. Confirm whether the request is a new article, a revision, a bilingual pair, or a prose-only draft.
2. Decide whether the page needs a summary block, a TOC, figure cards, comparison panels, or callouts.
3. Draft the article to fit the shared shell instead of inventing a unique page theme.
4. Keep only article-specific structure in page HTML; let article-base.js handle shared behavior.
5. Verify the result at phone, tablet, and desktop widths before calling it done.

Shell contract

• Keep body id="top" and the shared article scaffold.
• Do not duplicate 回首頁 | Top, footer, traffic counter, overlay, or figure-download behavior in each page.
• Do not create a unique footer, page shell, or top anchor per article.
• Keep inline CSS to the minimum needed for article-local layout details.

Design tokens

Use the site-wide token language consistently:

• --paper
• --paper-2
• --panel
• --ink
• --muted
• --jade
• --jade-2
• --cinnabar
• --gold
• --river
• --line
• --shadow
• --r
• --r-sm
• --w
• --serif
• --mono

Rules:

• Use the homepage and article-base token family as one system.
• Keep body text and metadata high-contrast against the paper background.
• Prefer the existing token palette over one-off colors.
• Do not introduce a new article-specific palette unless the user explicitly asks for one.

Responsive rules

• Design for handheld first, then tablet, then desktop.
• Make phone layouts single-column and readable with no horizontal scrolling.
• Ensure headings, tables, figures, TOC blocks, buttons, and callouts do not overlap at common widths such as 390px, 430px, 768px, and desktop.
• Keep touch targets usable and never rely on hover-only affordances.
• If a two-column layout is used, it must collapse cleanly into one column on narrow screens.

Summary and TOC

• Include a short summary when the article is public-facing, technical, explanatory, or long enough that readers need orientation.
• Include a TOC when the section count or page length makes jumping useful, especially on mobile.
• Omit TOC on short pages if it would add noise.
• Keep heading levels clean and predictable so the TOC, summary, and link anchors remain stable.

Bilingual handling

• Keep zh and en versions aligned in scope, section order, and visual rhythm.
• Translate content, not the layout system.
• Use the same article structure and shared shell rules in both languages.
• Keep article slugs, cross-links, and index entries paired when both languages exist.

Voice and diction

• Write in Traditional Chinese with Taiwan usage and phrasing.
• Use topic-specific terms directly when they belong to the subject; keep the prose professional.
• Use modern AI and tooling terms freely when they help readers anchor the idea, including MCP, skill, Codex, Claude Code, Agent, Copilot, Gemini, token, prompt, context, and Nvidia.
• Use vivid or memorable analogy words, such as 龍蝦, only when the context makes them helpful and the density stays low.
• Avoid template-like transition filler unless it genuinely improves clarity.
• Keep the tone natural, slightly relaxed, and still technically solid.
• Prefer clarity and recall over jargon for its own sake.
• If a user gives a house style or wording contract, treat it as binding for the article.

Site architecture

• Preserve the site-wide article, index, and footer architecture.
• Update cross-links, index entries, and sitemap notes when the article is meant for public publishing.
• Keep compatibility with the site's shared navigation, overlay, and traffic-counter behavior.
• Do not break the article base by adding page-local replacements for shared behavior.

Validation

• Compare the draft or page against the homepage and a representative article before finalizing.
• Check readability, contrast, and spacing in both light and narrow viewports.
• Confirm that the article still reads well when images are absent, when images are present, and when the TOC is long.
• If you must deviate from the shared base, keep the exception narrow and explicit.

Never do

• Do not give each article its own shell, footer, overlay, or top-action implementation.
• Do not let one article introduce a custom typography system or color system.
• Do not ship a page that only works on desktop or only on one language.
• Do not let article content drift away from the site's shared base without a good reason.
