Website Content

Intent

Write and refine content for mickpletcher.com using the established site voice, section structure, and project positioning.

Use When

• The user explicitly asks for website-content.
• The request matches the triggers or workflow described below.
• The task benefits from a reusable, structured output instead of a one-off answer.

Do Not Use When

• Do not use for code implementation, unrelated websites, blog posts, or content that requires invented project facts.
• Required context is missing and cannot be reasonably inferred.
• A more specific skill in this repo is a better match.

Workflow

1. Identify the exact task and available source material.
2. Apply the domain rules and output format in this skill.
3. State assumptions, uncertainty, and missing inputs clearly.
4. Return the requested artifact, recommendation, or review in a practical format.
5. Check the result against the validation checklist before finishing.

Constraints

• Do not fabricate missing facts, measurements, dates, sources, or user context.
• Keep output aligned with Mick's direct, practical communication style unless the skill says otherwise.
• Preserve safety, legal, medical, financial, and operational boundaries stated in this file.
• Prefer concise, usable output over broad explanation.

Write polished, first-person website copy for Mick Pletcher's personal site.

Site Sections

Tone and Voice

• First-person throughout
• Specific over vague
• Confident without sounding inflated
• No filler phrases or AI-sounding language

Use these facts selectively based on the section being written. Do not dump them all into every section.

Section Templates

About / Bio

Use a short version for hero or intro sections and a longer version for dedicated About pages.

Project Writeup

Structure project writeups in three parts:

1. what it is and why it exists
2. what was built and how it works
3. what is in progress or coming next

Featured Projects

The default featured projects are:

• Container home build
• Trading systems and automation stack
• Proxmox homelab and n8n workflows

Page Type Modes

Infer the page type from the request and shape the copy accordingly:

• home page: lead with who Mick is and the one or two strongest proof points; every sentence has to earn its spot above the fold
• about page: fuller arc across professional, builder, and athlete identities, still selective rather than exhaustive
• service page: what Mick builds, who it helps, and evidence it works; concrete deliverables over capability adjectives
• project page: follow the three-part project writeup structure with current status stated honestly
• contact page: short, direct, and clear about what kinds of contact are welcome

Proof And Specificity Checks

Before finishing any section, replace unbacked claims with evidence:

• every capability claim should point to a project, repo, number, or outcome from the source material
• prefer "automated reporting across 4,000+ endpoints" over "extensive automation experience"
• if a claim has no available proof, cut it or scope it down rather than leaving it vague

Copy Length Variants

When layout constraints are unknown or the user asks, provide the same section in two lengths: a concise version (1 to 2 sentences per block, suitable for cards and hero sections) and a detailed version (full paragraphs for dedicated pages). Both must carry the same facts; the concise version cuts context, not specifics.

SEO Patterns

For meta descriptions:

• target roughly 150 to 160 characters
• be specific
• avoid filler

For page titles:

• keep them clean and readable
• prefer role plus identity over slogans

Quality Checklist

• Tone is polished but personal
• First person is used consistently
• Specific details and tools are present
• No emojis or final-copy em dashes
• No filler language
• Section length matches the use case
• SEO descriptions stay concise
• Content reflects more than just the day job

Reference File

• reference/copy-library.md contains reusable copy blocks for site sections
