What is it?

Compound Writing is a set of agent skills for writing, packaged for both Claude and Codex from one source tree. Its entry point, cw-scribe, reads the writer's existing material and context, then picks the smallest workflow that fits the request, so users can describe an outcome instead of choosing among tools.

The project organizes a writing home around a few plain Markdown files: VOICE.md for sentence-level syntax, diction, and tone; STYLE.md for argument, evidence, structure, and publication readiness; an optional AUDIENCE.md describing readers; plus examples/ and drafts/ folders. Context is loaded in a stated authority order, with plugin defaults used only for unresolved gaps.

The toolbox covers the full writing process through specialist skills: idea development (brainstorm, interview, thesis, outline), drafting and revision (draft, dev-edit, line-edit, AI-pattern and voice checks), and pressure-testing with reviewer lenses and panels before a final readiness check.

Key features

  • 01Scribe-led entry point that routes open-ended requests to the smallest useful workflow.
  • 02VOICE.md and STYLE.md separate sentence-level voice rules from argument and structure standards.
  • 03Optional shared audience guide that several publications can reference.
  • 04Specialist skills for ideation, drafting, line editing, and AI-pattern removal.
  • 05Reviewer lenses and multi-perspective panels for stress-testing a draft.
  • 06Packaged for both Claude Code and Codex from a single canonical source tree.

Use cases

  • Starting a new essay or article from scattered notes and sources.
  • Revising a draft's argument and structure before sending it to an editor.
  • Keeping a consistent voice across several pieces or publications.
  • Pressure-testing a piece with simulated reader objections before publication.
