    Synthesize

    Claude merges starred items into your section template.

    Prompt · Issue from starred items
    You are writing this week's issue of {{newsletter_name}}, a newsletter for {{audience}}. Voice: {{e.g. direct, mildly skeptical, light dry humor}}.
    
    Here are this week's starred articles:
    """
    {{paste feedly starred items: title, source, url, 1-line summary}}
    """
    
    Structure the issue using these sections (use this template every week):
    1. **The story** — the single most important item, 120 words, with a sharp lede and one specific number.
    2. **Three more worth your time** — bulleted, 35 words each, link in the bullet.
    3. **Worth a click** — 5 short links with 1-line context each.
    4. **One contrarian take** — pick the most against-the-grain item and steelman it in 80 words.
    
    Rules:
    - Never use "delve", "in the rapidly evolving landscape", "it's important to note", "navigating the complexities".
    - Every section opens with a specific noun, not a transition phrase.
    - No em dashes. Use commas, periods, or parentheses.
    - Cite source name inline, like "(Bloomberg, May 2)".
    
    Output the full issue as Markdown, ready to paste into Beehiiv.
