Chain an outline into a draft into a line edit

Run writing as separate passes so structure is settled before prose is polished.

What this prompt helps you do

An outline, then a draft against it, then a line edit — with the structural decisions visible at each stage.

When to use it

Drafts keep getting rewritten because structural problems only surface once the prose exists.

What to prepare

The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.

How to get a strong result

Do not allow the draft stage to change the outline silently; a structural change must be stated and justified.

How to use this prompt

Replace each placeholder with accurate context. Paste the complete prompt into Claude, review the response critically, resolve important questions, and use it as a considered input to the next decision—not as an unchecked final answer.
