Invoke with /cw-transition or /cw-transition [from section X to section Y].\n---\n\n# Transition\n\n## Purpose\n\nGenerate 3 transition options between sections, tailored to the piece type and content.\n\n## Invocation\n\n- `/cw-transition [context]` — Generate transitions for the specified sections\n- `/cw-transition` — System asks \"Which sections are you bridging?\" then generates options\n\n## Transition Patterns\n\n| Pattern | What It Does | Use When |\n|---------|--------------|----------|\n| **Logical bridge** | Connects ideas through reasoning | Argumentative, logic-driven pieces |\n| **Story flow** | Continues narrative momentum | Narrative or reflective pieces |\n| **Sudden shift** | Deliberately jolts the reader | Tonal pivots, surprising turns |\n\n## Anti-Patterns (Always Avoid)\n\nNever use these transitions:\n- \"Furthermore\"\n- \"Additionally\"\n- \"Moreover\"\n- \"Another point\"\n- \"In addition\"\n- \"It is also worth noting\"\n- \"On another note\"\n- Any formal academic connector\n\n## How to Generate\n\n1. **Analyze the piece type** — Is it argumentative? Narrative? Reflective? Mixed?\n\n2. **Understand the sections** — What's the ending idea of section A? What's the opening idea of section B?\n\n3. **Select 3 approaches** weighted toward patterns that fit the piece type.\n\n4. **Generate one transition per approach** — Each should be 1-2 sentences that bridge naturally.\n\n5. **Present all three** with the pattern labeled.\n\n## Output Format\n\n```\n## Transition Options\n\n### Option 1: Logical Bridge\n[1-2 sentence transition]\n\n### Option 2: Story Flow\n[1-2 sentence transition]\n\n### Option 3: Sudden Shift\n[1-2 sentence transition]\n\n---\n\nWhich feels right for this moment? Or want me to try something else?\n```\n\n## Principles\n\n- **Invisible is ideal** — The best transitions don't call attention to themselves\n- **Each section should answer the previous question** — Create natural flow through implicit Q&A\n- **Vary your moves** — Don't use the same transition pattern throughout\n- **Earn the shift** — If you're making a sudden jump, the content should justify it\n\n## Context-Aware Weighting\n\nAdjust which patterns to emphasize based on piece type:\n\n| Piece Type | Primary Pattern | Secondary | Use Sparingly |\n|------------|-----------------|-----------|---------------|\n| Argument/Analysis | Logical bridge | Story flow | Sudden shift |\n| Personal essay | Story flow | Sudden shift | Logical bridge |\n| How-to/Guide | Logical bridge | — | Sudden shift |\n| Opinion/Take | Logical bridge | Sudden shift | Story flow |\n| Profile/Narrative | Story flow | Sudden shift | Logical bridge |\n\n## Lessons\n\n[Skill-specific lessons will be added here as they're captured]\n"
