Blog Outline

Create a structure that makes the reader promise, argument, and evidence visible before prose is written.

Build the outline

• State the audience, reader problem, thesis, and practical outcome in plain language.
• Choose one primary angle and remove sections that do not advance it.
• Arrange sections in a clear progression from context to evidence to application.
• For each section, list its purpose, key claim, supporting sources, and any example or counterpoint needed.
• Identify claims that remain unsupported and questions that require a decision.
• End with a relevant next step rather than a generic conclusion.

Do not expand the outline into a full draft. Preserve the requested voice, length, and format constraints.

When WORKFLOW_RUN_DIR is provided, write only to the declared outline artifact. Otherwise use the destination requested by the user.
