cw-transition

Transition

Purpose

Generate 3 transition options between sections, tailored to the piece type and content.

Invocation

• /cw-transition [context] — Generate transitions for the specified sections
• /cw-transition — System asks "Which sections are you bridging?" then generates options

Transition Patterns

Pattern	What It Does	Use When
Logical bridge	Connects ideas through reasoning	Argumentative, logic-driven pieces
Story flow	Continues narrative momentum	Narrative or reflective pieces
Sudden shift	Deliberately jolts the reader	Tonal pivots, surprising turns

Anti-Patterns (Always Avoid)

Never use these transitions:

• "Furthermore"
• "Additionally"
• "Moreover"
• "Another point"
• "In addition"
• "It is also worth noting"
• "On another note"
• Any formal academic connector

How to Generate

1. Analyze the piece type — Is it argumentative? Narrative? Reflective? Mixed?

2. Understand the sections — What's the ending idea of section A? What's the opening idea of section B?

3. Select 3 approaches weighted toward patterns that fit the piece type.

4. Generate one transition per approach — Each should be 1-2 sentences that bridge naturally.

5. Present all three with the pattern labeled.

Output Format

## Transition Options

### Option 1: Logical Bridge
[1-2 sentence transition]

### Option 2: Story Flow
[1-2 sentence transition]

### Option 3: Sudden Shift
[1-2 sentence transition]

Principles

• Invisible is ideal — The best transitions don't call attention to themselves
• Each section should answer the previous question — Create natural flow through implicit Q&A
• Vary your moves — Don't use the same transition pattern throughout
• Earn the shift — If you're making a sudden jump, the content should justify it

Context-Aware Weighting

Adjust which patterns to emphasize based on piece type:

Piece Type	Primary Pattern	Secondary	Use Sparingly
Argument/Analysis	Logical bridge	Story flow	Sudden shift
Personal essay	Story flow	Sudden shift	Logical bridge
How-to/Guide	Logical bridge	—	Sudden shift
Opinion/Take	Logical bridge	Sudden shift	Story flow
Profile/Narrative	Story flow	Sudden shift	Logical bridge
