Format & Utility
Listicle / Roundup — Prompts
Article Generation Prompt
Write a listicle in 5-10 paragraphs (500-800 words).
STRUCTURE:
- Brief intro: why this list, why now (2-3 sentences max)
- Each item gets:
- Name (bold or as subheadline)
- Address and hours
- 2-3 sentences: what it is, what's great, why it made the list
- One specific detail that sells it (the best dish, the view, the vibe)
- Close with honorable mentions or how to suggest additions
TONE: Scannable, useful, opinionated. Each item earns its place — give a reason for every pick.
DO NOT: Pad the list to reach a round number. Include items without specific details. Use 'something for everyone.' Skip addresses and hours. Exceed 800 words.
Tone
Scannable, useful, opinionated. Each item earns its place. Don't just list — give a reason for each pick.
Structure
Brief intro (why this list, why now) → Numbered or bulleted items with: name, location/link, 2-3 sentence description, why it's on the list → Closing with honorable mentions or how to suggest additions
Forbidden Patterns
No padding items to reach a round number. Every item earns its spot. No items without specific details (address, hours, price). No 'something for everyone' generic framing.
