Blog post outline

Writing & content

Structure a blog post before writing it in full.

Related technique:Output formatting
Create an outline for a blog post about remote team communication best practices, targeted at first-time engineering managers.

Tone: Professional. Format: Bullet list.

Must cover:
- Async vs. sync communication
- Common pitfalls
- A simple weekly rhythm to adopt

Avoid: Corporate buzzwords ("synergy", "leverage"), generic advice that could apply to any team, forced enthusiasm.

Expected output

A hierarchical outline (headings and sub-points) covering the topic, ready to expand into a full draft — not the finished article itself.

Usage tips

  • List the must-cover points as a real bullet list, not a single sentence — the outline follows their order.
  • Pick "Q&A" format if the post itself is meant to answer specific reader questions.
  • Use "Avoid" for clichés, words, or a tone the output should steer clear of — leave it blank if nothing specific comes to mind.

Suggestions
  • Fill in the remaining placeholders.
  • Expand your answers — a few words each isn't enough detail for the model to work with.
  • Add background context so the model understands the situation.
