Claude merges starred items into your section template.
Prompt · Issue from starred itemsYou 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.
