A Codex skill Aaron uses to shape long drafts for X Articles while leaving voice choices alone.

Draft formatter

A formatting pass for rough long-form drafts. It helps with shape: a clear opening, better sections, tighter paragraphs, and notes for where a diagram or chart would help.

Draft to article pass structured

## The rough draft was hiding the point

### Why it matters

### Headings that do work

Replaces vague topic labels with section headings that tell the reader why the next part matters.

### Readable rhythm

Keeps paragraphs tight and controls emphasis without making every idea a bullet list.

### Useful visuals

Marks where a diagram, chart, or pause point would help the reader understand the piece faster.
