task: complete professional writing task
inspect:
- requirements and context
- existing standards
- failure and edge cases
verify: outputs + checks + handoffWhy a specialist workflow matters
Writing sounds generic when it begins with a format instead of a reader, a purpose, and something specific worth saying.
Strong professional writing work depends on context, explicit decisions, and checks that match the real environment.
These skills give Codex a specialist workflow for professional writing while preserving local conventions, important constraints, and human review.
