Use to DESIGN or shape a NEW piece of writing before or while drafting — structure an argument or memo (PRD, RFC, recommendation, strategy), organize a task-oriented technical doc or explainer, get a first pass down without stalling, or give a talk, pitch, launch post, or narrative a persuasive arc. Routes by intent (structure / draft / persuade) × genre (argument-memo / technical-doc / talk-pitch / narrative / general-prose). Triggers on "help me outline this RFC", "draft this announcement", "make this pitch land", "give this post an arc", "structure this doc before I write it". Do NOT use to revise, copyedit, or diagnose an EXISTING draft (use writing-audit), to design a documentation system's IA, retrieval, or telemetry (use docs-design), or to gather and validate source material (use research).
