Pre Write Checklist

What it does

This skill generates a structured checklist of tasks and considerations before an AI agent begins writing or generating content. It ensures that all necessary context, constraints, and requirements are explicitly defined to prevent errors or omissions in the final output.

When to use it

• Before instructing an agent to draft long-form articles or stories to verify plot points or tone alignment.
• When initiating complex coding tasks to confirm logic flows, library dependencies, and error handling strategies.
• Prior to generating marketing copy to ensure brand voice guidelines and key messaging are captured.
• At the start of research projects to list required sources, formats, and analysis methods.

Key capabilities

• Analyzes user intent to extract implicit requirements.
• Formats output as a clear, actionable checklist.
• Highlights potential gaps in context or missing constraints.
• Organizes items logically for sequential review.

Example prompts

• "Create a pre-write checklist for drafting a technical tutorial on Python data visualization."
• "Generate a checklist of requirements I need to provide before you start writing my novel's first chapter."
• "List the specific constraints and context needed before you generate a response about renewable energy policy."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure you provide high-level goals in your prompt so the skill can infer specific sub-tasks for the checklist. This tool is best used as a verification step; always review the generated list against your actual needs before proceeding with generation.
