Use that input to fill this prompt's variables (take the main content, topic, or task from it; ask only if a required value is missing and not supplied), then follow the prompt exactly.

Outline a blog post on: {topic}

Audience and takeaway: {audience} Angle: {angle}

Produce:

• A working title (and 2 alternates) that promises a specific value.
• The one main point the post makes (the thesis). A post that makes one point well beats one that surveys everything.
• The hook idea for the intro: how to open so the reader keeps reading (a concrete problem, a surprising claim, a question they feel).
• The section flow: each section as a heading plus the key points under it, in an order that builds the argument or walks the reader through. Enough detail that writing each section is filling in, not inventing.
• Where examples, data, or visuals go (the parts that make it credible and concrete).
• The takeaway/close: what the reader leaves with and any call to action.

Rules: get the structure and angle right before drafting (a strong outline is most of the work). One throughline, not a grab-bag. Match scope to the audience and format. Flag if the topic is too broad (suggest narrowing) or too thin (suggest what would fill it). Ask about tone or any facts only I have if it shapes the outline.
