AF long-form-article-writer
Write a 1500-3000 word long-form article in a chosen mode — editorial, personal essay, tech deep-dive, op-ed, newsletter, listicle, or Q&A interview. Auto-expands the brief into a 4-dimension narrative spec (hook, arc, voice, payoff), shows it back for review, then drafts one article or three alternative leads. Mirrors a pasted voice sample. Refuses to fabricate quotes or stats. Trigger when the user says "write a long-form article", "draft a blog post", "write a personal essay", "write an op-ed", "draft a tech deep-dive", or "write a feature article".

How to improve
- The text references files that are not there: add them or drop the references.
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
