Start with a clear baseline, iterate with tight feedback, ground everything in brand and source context, package outputs in usable formats.\n\n## Core Loop\n\n1. Define the task and constraints with a zero-shot baseline.\n2. Chain prompts with specific feedback to refine.\n3. Provide examples to lock tone and cadence.\n4. Request structured deliverables and variants.\n5. Evaluate against brand criteria, then package and ship.\n\n## Principles\n\n1. **Clarity first.** State goal, audience, channel, format, length, constraints.\n2. **Context in, quality out.** Supply source articles, brand pillars, voice rules.\n3. **Iterate with purpose.** Each message adds or removes exactly one uncertainty.\n4. **Examples steer style.** One good example is worth ten adjectives.\n5. **Structure beats vibes.** Bullet requirements so nothing slips.\n6. **Options unlock choice.** Ask for multiple hooks or formats when exploring.\n7. **Ethics matter.** Avoid dark patterns, protect IP, cite when summarizing.\n8. **Respect limits.** Request export-friendly output (Markdown, HTML, CSV).\n\n## Workflow\n\n### 3.1 Define the Task (Zero-Shot)\n\n```\nGoal: 4 social posts for {brand} during {theme}\nAudience: {role}, {industry}\nTone: {voice rules}\nInputs: {link or pasted source}\nDeliverable: {count}, {format}, {length}, {hashtags yes/no}, {artwork hooks}\nConstraints: {regulated terms, claims, style rules}\n```\n\n### 3.2 Iterate (Prompt Chaining)\n\n```\nKeep: Post 1 structure\nChange: Hook needs a stat; add 1 data point\nCut: Hashtags over 5\nAdd: CTA specific to {practice area}\n```\n\n### 3.3 Steer with Examples (Few-Shot)\n\n```\nMatch this intro cadence:\n\"It's Cybersecurity Awareness Month... {short pivot}. {brand} helps {who} with {what}.\"\nApply that to 4 pillars: Insight, Security, Awareness, Governance.\n```\n\n### 3.4 Request Structure and Variants\n\n```\nFor each post include:\n- Headline (<=8 words)\n- Caption (2–3 sentences)\n- 3–5 hashtags\n- Artwork hook (2 variants)\n- 1 brand tie-in sentence using {practice area list}\n```\n\n### 3.5 Packaging\n\n```\nOutput as Markdown sections per post with H2 headings. No code fences.\n```\n\n## Prompt Patterns Library\n\n**Baseline generation:**\n```\nCreate {n} {asset_type} for {brand}. Audience {aud}. Tone {voice}.\nEach must include {elements}. Source: {link or text}.\nAvoid {prohibited}. Length {limit}. Output as {format}.\n```\n\n**Refinement:**\n```\nRevise Post {#}: keep core idea, strengthen hook with stat,\nwrap with {brand practice area}, remove jargon, keep under {char}.\n```\n\n**Few-shot steer:**\n```\nMimic this style:\nExample: \"{sample 1}\"\nExample: \"{sample 2}\"\nNow produce {n} new {assets} on {topics}.\n```\n\n**Options request:**\n```\nGive 3 alternate hooks for Post {#}, each in a different framing:\n{authority}, {fear-to-safety}, {process reveal}.\n```\n\n**Format packaging:**\n```\nReturn a one-page brief with:\n- Objective\n- Audience\n- Message pillars\n- 4 posts (H2)\n- Asset checklist\n```\n\n## Thematic Cohesion\n\n- Define a campaign spine with 3–4 pillars.\n- Provide one sample intro to set cadence.\n- Require each asset to map to a pillar and call out the mapping.\n\n## Structured Deliverable Schemas\n\n**Social post:**\n```json\n{\n  \"post_id\": \"CYA-01\",\n  \"pillar\": \"Insight\",\n  \"headline\": \"\",\n  \"caption\": \"\",\n  \"hashtags\": [],\n  \"art_hooks\": [\"\", \"\"],\n  \"brand_tie_in\": \"\"\n}\n```\n\n**Campaign brief:**\n```json\n{\n  \"objective\": \"\",\n  \"audience\": \"\",\n  \"pillars\": [\"\",\"\",\"\",\"\"],\n  \"sources\": [\"\"],\n  \"assets\": [\"posts\",\"stories\",\"artwork\"],\n  \"due_date\": \"\",\n  \"owner\": \"Branded Mayhem\"\n}\n```\n\n## Acceptance Rubric\n\nScore each 1–5. Ship at 24+.\n\n- **Clarity:** does a human get it in 3 seconds\n- **Hook strength:** lead line earns the next line\n- **Brand fit:** voice, claims, practice areas aligned\n- **Structure:** every required element present\n- **Evidence:** facts grounded when cited\n- **Usability:** paste-ready, no cleanup needed\n\n## Ship Checklist\n\n- [ ] Task brief completed with audience, tone, constraints\n- [ ] Baseline draft generated\n- [ ] Few-shot examples supplied and applied\n- [ ] Structured deliverable returned with all sections\n- [ ] Options provided where requested\n- [ ] Rubric score 24+\n- [ ] Packaged in Markdown with headings\n- [ ] Logged to campaign brief\n\n## When NOT to Use\n\n- Not for open-ended ideation — diverge first with `creative-thinking-ai`, then bring the chosen concept here for production.\n- Not for making output sound like a specific person — run finished drafts through `humanize` with a voice profile.\n- Not for narrative pieces — origin stories and case slices follow `story-spine`.\n- Not for testing whether the creative lands — pressure-test with `ai-focus-group` before shipping.\n\n## Limitations & Workarounds\n\n- **Citations:** provide links or pasted passages for accurate summarization.\n- **IP:** no long verbatim quotes from paywalled sources; paraphrase and attribute.\n- **Sensitive claims:** require a source or soften to safe language.\n"
