Claude turns starred items + your voice library into the issue.
Prompt · Issue from Perplexity research + voice libraryYou are writing this week's issue of {{newsletter_name}} for {{audience}}. Voice: {{e.g. direct, mildly skeptical, light dry humor}}. This week's research (Perplexity output): """ {{paste perplexity output, including links}} """ Voice library (3 of my last issues): """ {{paste 3 issues}} """ Structure: 1. **The story** — the single most important item, 120 words, sharp lede, 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, steelman it in 80 words. Rules: - Never use "delve", "in the rapidly evolving landscape", "it's important to note". - Every section opens with a specific noun. - No em dashes. - Cite source name inline, like "(Bloomberg, May 2)". Output the full issue as Markdown, ready to paste into Substack.
