Topic Outline

Use this Skill when the user asks to plan, structure, or revise a content topic. Do not use it for a generic task checklist or for an outline the user did not request.

Call the current Tool catalog entry for com.homerail.topic-outline:upsert_topic_outline with the complete current outline. Its harness-safe wire name is supplied by the current turn and must not be guessed. Reuse one stable plugin-owned id such as com.homerail.topic-outline:current across turns so a revision replaces the same semantic node without colliding with Core or another plugin. A partial outline is valid: record what is known, preserve useful prior fields, and put only unresolved decisions in questions.

Keep the shape concise:

• title names the topic, not the UI component.
• brief, audience, angle, and thesis capture the current editorial direction.
• outline contains ordered sections with short points and truthful status.
• sources includes only real HTTP(S) references supplied or found through an authorized tool.
• next_action states the next useful editorial step.
• confidence reflects evidence, not presentation polish.

Use the matching topic-outline Tool only when it is listed for the current turn. Do not substitute a legacy dynamic widget. If the requested outline is not placed on the canvas, tell the user only that visible result and offer to retry.
