Write a content draft from the brief

Claude writes a content draft from a brief you already approved and marks every line that still needs a source.

A first draft in the brief's shape, with claims to verify called out instead of smoothed over.

1. 1

   Paste the approved brief

   Include the outline and the facts you will stand behind. A topic sentence is not a brief.

2. 2

   Fill the source gaps

   Replace each [source needed] with a fact you checked, or delete the sentence.

3. 3

   Read it aloud once

   Cut any line that sounds like a launch post. Then it can go to an editor.

Write a first content draft from this brief. Do not improve the strategy. Do not add a section the brief did not ask for.

Brief:
[audience, the point, the outline, and any facts I already trust]

Rules:
- Follow the outline's order.
- Where the brief gives a fact, use it. Where it does not, write [source needed] instead of a number, a quote, or a study.
- No slogan in the title or the first sentence.
- Under 900 words unless the brief sets a length.
- End with a list titled Check: every [source needed] line, plus any sentence that could be read as a promise.

If the brief contradicts itself, ask which version to keep. Do not pick one.

A draft is not published. The Check list is part of the work.
