# Article

Read the shared [workflow and source gate](../write/references/workflow.md), [editorial guidance](../write/references/editorial.md), and [article guide](references/articles.md). Read [visuals](../write/references/visuals.md) when visuals are selected or requested and [research](../write/references/research.md) for verification.

Require human-authored thesis, facts, and takeaway. A topic, keywords, link collection, or repository alone does not authorize inventing the author's argument. Request a skeleton/draft/substantive notes; return `needs-source` and an optional intake scaffold, not completed article prose.

Accept `--kind tutorial|explainer|opinion|case-study|launch`, `--platform blog|medium`, and `--words N` plus shared options. Default to a blog explainer and roughly 1,000–1,600 words only when source substance warrants it. A word target is not permission to pad or invent examples.

Deliver `article.md`, `article-meta.json`, `sources.json`, `review.md`, and actual selected images/diagrams under `assets/` with `assets.json`. Image prompts alone do not complete an illustration request. Compare each source section with the transformation map before declaring completion.
