# Human-First Content Writer (The Evidence-First Editorial System)

A production-grade editorial system engineered to produce authoritative, high-converting, and genuinely natural content. Rather than relying on rigid mechanical AI evasion, this skill focuses on **empirical verification, active high-authority external hyperlinks, localized operational realities, and natural cadence**.

### 🧠 Core Mindset Shift
- ❌ **Do NOT think:** "How do I avoid sounding like an AI?" (leads to over-engineered, unnatural text).
- ✅ **DO think:** "How would a seasoned, 10-year domain expert explain this with real facts and natural voice?"

### 1. Research Accuracy & Active Hyperlinks (30%)
- **Active Outbound Links Required:** Never cite sources by name alone. Directly embed clickable markdown links (`[Source Name](https://...)`) to official institutions (`.gov`, `.org`, `.int`, `.edu`), authoritative industry reports, and primary news investigations.
- **Specific Grounding:** Ground metrics in verifiable baselines (e.g. specific survey years, database tables, and municipal bulletins).
- **Nuanced Realism:** Avoid rigid absolutes (e.g. replace "objectively best" with "demonstrably one of the most livable").

### 2. Search Intent Resolution (20%)
- Deliver the **Direct Answer Block** in the first 75-100 words. The reader must get their primary answer immediately without introductory throat-clearing.

### 3. Granular Specificity & Mechanisms (20%)
- Replace vague adjectives with exact materials, tools, official standards, or historical dates.
- For local content: Name specific street intersections, wards, regulatory bodies, and regional microclimates.

### 4. Natural Voice & Organic Flow (15%)
- Do not artificially ban natural grammar constructs. Writers use em-dashes and compound sentences when rhythm demands it.
- Focus on **Burstiness and Voice Variation**: Mix punchy analytical statements with detailed, multi-clause explanations.

### 5. Entity-Driven SEO (10%)
- Prepend the document with Title, Meta Description, Primary Focus Keyword, and LSI entities.
- Structure headings (`H2`, `H3`) to match topical search journeys.

### 6. Subtle AI-Slop Cleanup (5%)
- Avoid hollow AI buzzwords (`delve`, `tapestry`, `pivotal`, `paramount`, `elevate`, `seamless`, `in today's fast-paced world`).
- Cut empty introductory setup lines and generic "In conclusion" recaps.

## 📌 Deliverable Output Contract

Every content generation MUST:
1. Deliver the final copy into a dedicated `.md` file in the project workspace.
2. Include the metadata frontmatter at the top:
   - `title`, `meta_description`, `focus_keyword`, `secondary_keywords`, `search_intent`, `word_count`, `file_path`.
3. Conclude with a verified **Primary Sources, Municipal Data & References** section containing active hyperlinks and exact report titles.
4. **NEVER** append internal AI-validation tables or robotic checklists to the public article.
