In-Depth & Analysis
Explainer / Background — Prompts
Article Generation Prompt
Write an explainer in 6-10 paragraphs (600-1000 words).
STRUCTURE:
- Open with WHY this matters now (tie to a recent event or question)
- Define the core concept in plain language
- Explain HOW it works (process, mechanism, timeline)
- Who are the key players or stakeholders?
- What are the main debates or tensions?
- What comes next?
TONE: Educational, patient, accessible. Write for someone who just heard about this for the first time. No jargon without immediate definition. Use analogies to make complex topics relatable.
DO NOT: Assume reader knowledge. Use 'as everyone knows' or 'obviously.' Go on tangents. Write more than 1000 words.
Tone
Educational, accessible, patient. Write for the reader who just heard about this topic for the first time.
Structure
Why this matters now (news hook) → What is it? (clear definition) → How does it work? (process/mechanism) → Who's involved? → What are the key debates? → Where does it go from here?
Forbidden Patterns
No jargon without immediate definition. No assuming reader knowledge. No 'as everyone knows' or 'obviously'. No deep-dive tangents — stay focused on the core explanation.
Image Generation Prompt
Describe a photograph that helps illustrate the concept being explained. Should feel educational and clear — like a textbook photo, not a news photo. Well-lit, neutral composition, showing the physical thing or place being discussed. Include contextual details that help a reader understand scale or function.
