Feed the Draft Back to Keep Later Sections Consistent

A coherence technique: when writing a long piece section by section, paste the sections written so far back in before drafting the next one, so terminology, tone, and claims stay consistent throughout.

Written in isolation, later sections drift — a term gets redefined, the tone shifts, a point contradicts an earlier one. Feeding the completed sections back gives the model the actual established context, so it matches vocabulary and voice and doesn't relitigate settled points. It keeps a long piece reading like one author, not a stitch of fragments.

Long pieces built across multiple turns, especially with specific terminology, a defined argument, or a distinctive tone to maintain.

Short pieces the model holds in view at once, or loosely-connected sections where strict consistency doesn't matter.

Here are the sections written so far: <paste>. Now write the next section, <heading>. Match the terminology, tone, and claims already established above — don't redefine terms or contradict earlier points.

Pasting the intro and first two sections before writing section three keeps 'users' from silently becoming 'customers' halfway through and the tone from sliding formal.

• Writing each section cold, so terms and tone drift across the piece.
• Letting a later section contradict a claim made earlier.
• Feeding back so much that the real instruction — write the next section — gets buried.
