  secondary_output: string   # Additional data for downstream skills
}
```

## Output Format

```
## [Skill Name]: [Context]

### Section 1
[Main content]

### Section 2
[Supporting content]
```

## Error Handling

- **Missing required input:** How to recover gracefully.
- **External data unavailable:** Fallback strategy.
- **Edge case:** How to handle unexpected scenarios.

## Examples

**Example 1:** [realistic user prompt]
→ [step-by-step what the skill does]
→ [expected output summary]

**Example 2:** [different scenario]
→ [step-by-step]
→ [expected output summary]

**Example 3:** [edge case or beginner scenario]
→ [step-by-step]
→ [expected output summary]

## Flywheel Connections

### Feeds Into
- `[skill]` (S[X]) — [what data/output flows forward to this skill]

### Fed By

### Feedback Loop
- [analytics metric or data point that improves this skill's next run]

## Quality Gate

> Include this section for content-producing skills (S2, S3, S4, S5, S7). Remove for non-content skills.

Before delivering output, verify:

1. Would I share this on MY personal social?
2. Contains specific, surprising detail? (not generic)
3. Respects reader's intelligence?
4. Remarkable enough to share? (Purple Cow test)
5. Irresistible offer framing? (if S4 offer skills ran)

Any NO → rewrite before delivering. Do not flag this checklist to the user.

## Volume Mode

> Include this section for S2 Content skills only. Remove for other stages.

When `mode: "volume"`:
- Generate 5-10 variations instead of 1
- Prioritize speed + variety over perfection
- Tag each with variant ID for A/B tracking
- Let data pick the winner (GaryVee philosophy)

```yaml
volume_output:
  variants:
    - id: string           # e.g., "v1", "v2"
      content: string      # The variation
      angle: string        # What makes this one different
```
