Examples
Example 1: Blog Outline from Scratch
User says: "帮我写一篇关于 AI agent 的博客大纲"
Steps:
- 确认主题范围(面向开发者 or 非技术读者?目标长度?)
- 使用
web_search 研究 AI agent 的最新进展、关键概念、典型案例
- 整理结构:引言 → 核心概念 → 应用场景 → 挑战与展望 → 结论
- 为每个 section 标注需要补充引用的研究点
Output: 完整 markdown 大纲,含各节标题、要点和引用占位符
Reply: "这是一份面向技术读者的 AI agent 博客大纲,共 5 节。已标注需要引用的关键数据点,你可以从第一节开始写,写完每节我来帮你审阅。"
Example 2: Teresa Torres's Workflow
User: "I'm writing an article about continuous discovery. Help me create an outline."
Process:
- Collaborates on outline structure
- Identifies research needs
- User starts writing introduction
- Reviews and improves the hook
- User writes each section
- Provides feedback after each section
- Conducts research and adds citations
- Final review of complete draft
- Polish and prep for publishing
Result: Well-researched, properly cited article written in Teresa's voice with strong structure and flow.
Example 2: Research-Heavy Article
User: "I'm writing about AI's impact on product management. Help me find current data and examples."
Output:
## Research Compiled
### Recent Data
- Gartner: 80% of PMs will use AI tools by 2025 [1]
- Survey: 45% report faster feature shipping [2]
- Case study: Airbnb's AI-assisted prioritization [3]
### Expert Quotes
- "AI amplifies PM judgment, not replaces it" - Marty Cagan
- [Additional quotes with citations]
### Real Examples
1. **Company A**: Used AI for user research synthesis
- Result: 60% time savings
- Source: [citation]
2. **Company B**: AI-powered roadmap analysis
- Result: Better stakeholder alignment
- Source: [citation]
All added to your outline with proper citations.
Example 3: Hook Improvement
User's Original Hook:
"Product management is changing because of AI. In this article, I'll discuss some ways AI affects product managers."
Improved Options:
Option 1 (Data-driven):
"Last month, I asked AI to analyze 500 customer interviews. It took 30 minutes instead of 3 weeks. Product management will never be the same."
Option 2 (Question):
"What if you could talk to every customer, read every review, and analyze every support ticket—all before your morning coffee?"
Option 3 (Story):
"Sarah spent two weeks building the wrong feature. Not because she didn't understand her users, but because she couldn't process the hundreds of interviews fast enough to spot the pattern."
Example 4: Section Feedback
User: "Just finished my 'Common Mistakes' section. Thoughts?"
Response:
# Feedback: Common Mistakes Section
## What Works Well ✓
- Strong examples (the Slack notification story)
- Clear structure (3 mistakes, clean layout)
- Practical advice for each mistake
## Suggestions
### Make It More Specific
Your second point says "Bad prioritization" but could be stronger:
Current:
> "Many teams prioritize badly by focusing on features instead of outcomes."
Suggested:
> "I've watched teams ship 14 features in a quarter yet move none of their key metrics. They prioritized activity over progress."
### Add Data
The third mistake would benefit from evidence:
> "[Add citation]: Studies show teams without regular user contact are 3x more likely to build unused features [needs source]"
### Flow Improvement
Consider reordering: Mistake 3 → Mistake 2 → Mistake 1
This builds from small to big impact.

Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|
web_search returns no results | Topic too niche or query too broad | Rephrase query; try different keywords or subtopics |
| Citation source is paywalled | Academic journal or premium content | Note as "[paywalled source]"; suggest open-access alternative |
| Outline scope creep | User keeps adding sections | Set scope: "Let's cap this at 5 sections for readability" |
| Voice mismatch in suggestions | Claude defaulting to formal tone | Ask user to share an existing writing sample to calibrate |
| Research returns outdated data | Web results are stale | Filter search by date; note year in citation; flag if pre-2022 |
