Quick Start

Step 1: Download the Template

Click Download above to get the CLAUDE.md file.

Step 2: Define Your Topic

Prepare your topic, target audience, angle, and any constraints.

Step 3: Generate

Say: "Write a blog post about [topic] for [audience]"


What You Get

Output Details
5 Title Options Ranked alternatives to choose from
One-line Hook Max 140 characters for social sharing
Outline H2/H3 structure before the draft
Full Draft 800-1200 words, publish-ready
TLDR 3-bullet summary
X Thread 7-tweet thread for distribution
3 CTA Variants Different calls to action to test

Tips

  • Be specific about your angle: "Why X is broken" is better than "About X"
  • Name your audience: "DevOps engineers at Series B startups" > "developers"
  • Set constraints: Word count, tone, things to avoid
  • Numbers win: "3 reasons" beats "some reasons"
  • Short paragraphs: The template enforces this — trust it

Commands

"Write a blog post about AI agents for startup founders"
"Give me 5 title options for a post about developer productivity"
"Create an X thread from this draft"
"Write 3 CTA variants for this post"

Troubleshooting

Post feels generic Add a sharper angle: "contrarian take on..." or "what everyone gets wrong about..."

Too long Set an explicit constraint: "Keep it under 800 words"

Voice doesn't match Share 2-3 examples of your writing and say: "Match this tone"
