i have a few skills connected to writing philosophy. can you remind me what they are?
### Assistant
Let me check your available skills related to philosophy writing.
Based on the skills available to me, here are the ones connected to writing philosophy:
1. **nick-analytic-voice** — Your analytic philosophical writing voice. Use when writing, drafting, editing, or revising manuscripts, papers, developed notes, or Substack drafts. Produces prose in your style.
2. **martin-voice** — Writes in M.G.F. Martin's philosophical voice. For perception/philosophy of mind content that should sound like Martin.
3. **epistemic-discipline** — Rules for capturing developing ideas without imposing hierarchy. Governs how I represent your thinking in notes, session files, and conversation — preserving the superposition of uncommitted ideas.
4. **style-edit** — Edits text to analytic philosophy style standards. For polishing prose to match disciplinary conventions.
5. **minimal-edit** — High-impact minimal edits: finds small but effective tweaks that maximize improvement with minimal intervention.
6. **cev** (Coherent Extrapolated Volition) — Analyses what a draft would look like developed to its fullest potential. Useful for seeing where a piece of writing could go.
7. **abstract** — Generates publication-ready abstracts matching your academic style.
8. **source-work** — The extraction-first protocol for working with academic texts. Ensures all quotations are copy-pasted from extracted text, never reconstructed from memory.
9. **paper-support** — Finds relevant notes, citations, and ideas across the vault for active manuscripts.
10. **contemplate** — Deep, self-questioning reasoning with visible deliberation. For exploratory philosophical analysis rather than quick answers.
I'm grouping these loosely as: voice/style tools (1–2), editing tools (4–6), research support tools (7–10), and epistemic governance (3). But they overlap — e.g., `source-work` is both research support and an epistemic constraint, and `contemplate` is as much a thinking mode as a writing aid.
*Gli strumenti per scrivere filosofia si moltiplicano, ma la difficoltà di pensare con chiarezza rimane invariata.*
