Outline-First Article Drafter

Structure before prose — no rambling first drafts.

The Prompt
I'm writing about [topic] for [audience]. Goal: [what the reader should think/do after].
Step 1: Give me 3 different outline structures (e.g., problem-solution, narrative, listicle) with a one-line rationale each.
Wait for me to pick one.
Step 2: Draft section by section, one at a time, waiting for my feedback between sections.
Fill in before using
[topic][audience]

How to use it

  • → Paste the prompt into your model of choice — it works with any frontier model.
  • → Replace every bracketed placeholder with your specifics. Concrete inputs beat vague ones every time.
  • → If the model asks a clarifying question, answer it — these prompts are designed to invite that.
  • → Iterate on the output, not the prompt. The structure is already tuned.
