writer - AI Text Processing Assistant

The writer module provides high-level abstractions for common text processing tasks, allowing users to leverage AI for translation, summarization, and content optimization via simple subcommands.

When to Activate

• When the user wants to translate text to Chinese (using @zh) or other languages.
• When generating summaries (abs) or refining existing text (refine).
• When expanding content or polishing writing for a better tone.
• When managing text processing agents and their default styles.

Core Principles & Rules

• Simplicity: Use short aliases like @zh for the most common tasks.
• Piping Support: Designed to process text from stdin or local files.
• Customization: Use init to configure the preferred model and default writing style.

Additional Scenarios

• Spanish Translation: Use the tran subcommand with specific targets for non-Chinese translations.
• Code/Text Explanation: Use explain to get a breakdown of complex paragraphs or scripts.

Patterns & Examples

Translate to Chinese (Short)

# Translate a string using the quick alias
@zh "The future of CLI is AI-driven"

Summarize a File

# Generate a summary from a local text file
cat ./article.txt | @zh abs

Refine and Polish

# Improve the flow and friendly tone of a text
x writer polish -f ./draft.md

Checklist

• Ensure the AI processing agent is initialized via x writer init.
• Confirm if the output should be in a specific language (default is often Chinese).
• Verify the source text is correctly piped or pointed to via the -f flag.
