Writing Kit Workflow

The writing-kit workflow is Looplia’s flagship workflow. It transforms any content into a comprehensive writing kit that helps content creators develop articles, blog posts, or newsletters.

What It Produces

The writing-kit workflow generates three artifacts:

Output	Description
`summary.json`	Deep content analysis with themes, quotes, and structure
`ideas.json`	Creative hooks, angles, questions, and writing prompts
`writing-kit.json`	Combined output with structured outline

Running the Workflow

# Basic usage
looplia run writing-kit --file my-content.md

# Resume interrupted run
looplia run writing-kit --sandbox-id my-content-2025-12-28-x7km

Step-by-Step Breakdown

Content Analysis (media-reviewer)

The first step uses the media-reviewer skill to deeply analyze your content:

Extracts key themes and concepts
Identifies verbatim quotes (minimum 3)
Captures key points (minimum 5)
Infers structure and target audience

Output: summary.json

{
  "contentId": "ai-healthcare-2025-12-28",
  "headline": "AI Revolution in Healthcare Diagnostics",
  "tldr": "AI is enabling earlier disease detection...",
  "keyThemes": ["predictive diagnostics", "personalized medicine"],
  "quotes": [
    {
      "text": "We're seeing a fundamental shift...",
      "speaker": "Dr. Sarah Chen",
      "context": "On AI adoption in hospitals"
    }
  ],
  "keyPoints": [
    "94% accuracy in cancer detection from imaging",
    "Drug discovery acceleration through simulation"
  ],
  "structure": {
    "format": "article",
    "sections": ["introduction", "developments", "quotes", "conclusion"]
  }
}

Idea Generation (idea-synthesis)

The second step uses idea-synthesis to generate creative content ideas:

Compelling hooks to grab attention
Unique angles for the topic
Questions to explore
Content prompts for different formats

Output: ideas.json

{
  "hooks": [
    "What if your doctor could predict disease before symptoms appear?",
    "The algorithm that sees what radiologists miss"
  ],
  "angles": [
    "Patient perspective: Living with AI-assisted diagnosis",
    "Ethics: When algorithms make life-or-death decisions"
  ],
  "questions": [
    "How do patients feel about AI making diagnoses?",
    "What happens when the AI is wrong?"
  ],
  "prompts": [
    "Write a day-in-the-life of an AI-assisted oncologist",
    "Compare: Traditional vs AI diagnosis workflows"
  ]
}

Kit Assembly (writing-kit-assembler)

The final step combines everything into a structured writing kit:

Unified summary with all key information
Selected hooks and angles
Structured outline with sections
Call-to-action suggestions

Output: writing-kit.json

{
  "title": "AI Healthcare Revolution: A Writer's Kit",
  "summary": {
    "headline": "...",
    "keyThemes": [...],
    "quotes": [...]
  },
  "selectedHooks": [...],
  "selectedAngles": [...],
  "outline": {
    "sections": [
      {
        "title": "The Diagnostic Revolution",
        "points": ["94% accuracy claim", "Dr. Chen quote"],
        "suggestedLength": "300 words"
      },
      {
        "title": "From Lab to Bedside",
        "points": ["Real-world implementations", "Patient outcomes"],
        "suggestedLength": "400 words"
      }
    ]
  },
  "callToAction": [
    "Learn more about AI in healthcare at...",
    "Share your experience with AI diagnosis in the comments"
  ]
}

Customizing the Workflow

You can modify the writing-kit workflow for your needs:

Shorter Analysis

Edit ~/.looplia/workflows/writing-kit.md:

- id: summary
  skill: media-reviewer
  mission: |
    Quick analysis of content.
    Extract 2-3 key themes and 3 key points.
    Focus on actionable insights only.

Different Output Focus

- id: writing-kit
  skill: writing-kit-assembler
  mission: |
    Create a Twitter thread outline (10-15 tweets).
    Focus on controversial angles and quotable moments.

Add a Step

- id: fact-check
  skill: content-verifier
  mission: Verify claims and statistics in the content
  needs: [summary]
  input: ${{ steps.summary.output }}
  output: ${{ sandbox }}/outputs/fact-check.json

- id: ideas
  needs: [summary, fact-check]  # Now depends on fact-check too

Input Requirements

The writing-kit workflow works best with:

Articles (500-5000 words)
Blog posts
Video/podcast transcripts
Research summaries
News articles
