What is General Writing Skill?
The General Writing skill is a specialized configuration that transforms an AI agent into a sophisticated professional writer. It emphasizes the production of high-quality, authoritative content exclusively in Markdown format. By leveraging Openclaw Skills, this tool ensures that every piece of writing is supported by verifiable references and data, significantly reducing the risk of fabrication or hallucinations.
This skill is built for users who require more than just simple text generation. It focuses on structural integrity, utilizing tables for data organization and Mermaid diagrams for complex visualizations. Whether you are drafting technical documentation, research summaries, or marketing copy, the General Writing skill maintains a consistent professional tone while adhering to strict citation and formatting standards.
General Writing Skill Use Cases
- Creating technical blog posts or documentation that requires precise Markdown formatting.
- Developing research-heavy reports with clickable numbered footnotes and bibliographies.
- Designing data-driven content that utilizes tables and Mermaid graphs for clarity.
- Generating professional communications in multiple languages without mixed-language errors.
How General Writing Skill Works
- The skill analyzes the user prompt to determine the required topic, tone, and language of the output.
- It processes internal or provided JSON research objects to identify relevant sources and data points.
- The agent constructs the narrative, naturally embedding citations as clickable footnotes in the
[Number](URL)format. - It automatically formats data-heavy sections into Markdown tables and visualizes workflows using Mermaid syntax.
- The final output is validated against strict Markdown standards and runtime variables like date or session ID before delivery.
General Writing Skill Setup
To integrate this writing capability, ensure your agent is configured to use the general-writing definition. You can deploy this via the CLI or your agent configuration file:
openclaw skill install general-writing
No additional credentials are required, but ensure your Markdown viewer supports Mermaid.js for full visual capability when using Openclaw Skills.
General Writing Skill Data Schema & Taxonomy
The skill organizes its output and references using a structured taxonomy to ensure readability and navigability:
| Component | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Content | Markdown | The primary text output following professional writing standards. |
| Citations | Footnotes | Numbered references linked to external URLs for verification. |
| Visuals | Mermaid | Code blocks that render into flowcharts and diagrams. |
| Data | Tables | Markdown-formatted tables for attribute-heavy information. |
| Metadata | Variables | Runtime placeholders like $DATE$ for contextual document headers. |
