How to use this prompt

Use this prompt with source material pasted directly into the chat. Always fact-check claims, citations, and dates against the original sources.

  1. Copy the full prompt above.
  2. Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
  3. Paste it into chatgpt, claude, gemini (or your preferred AI tool).
  4. Iterate on the output: add constraints, ask follow-ups, or combine multiple results.

Why this prompt works

It gives the AI a clear role, specific inputs, and an output format. That structure reduces vague responses and gives you a draft you can refine in minutes instead of hours.
