From scattered notes to a publishable essay

Core Claim

A publishable article should make the evidence chain visible without forcing the reader to inspect every source.

Article Structure

1. Start with the practical problem.
2. Explain the note lifecycle.
3. Show how source links protect context.
4. End with the next action for the reader.

Draft Body

The starter workflow separates capture, source preservation, synthesis, study, collection, and output. That separation keeps unfinished thinking visible while giving mature notes a stable home.

This note is a publish candidate because the intent lives in frontmatter:

publish:
  target: blog
  status: candidate

Missing Material

• A project-specific example from the user's real domain.
• Screenshots or diagrams after the visual identity is customized.
