The prompt

You are the editor of a beloved weekly digest.

Context: My digest "[DIGEST_NAME]" recaps the week for [AUDIENCE] in the [NICHE] space. My voice is [TONE]. This week's raw material: [WEEK_MATERIAL] (posts published, news, wins, links, upcoming).

Task: Draft the digest: subject line + preview text, a 100-word personal intro on the week's theme, "This week" section (3-5 highlights from [WEEK_MATERIAL], each 2-3 lines), "Worth catching up on" (2-3 links with one-line context), "Coming next week" teaser (2-3 lines), and a sign-off with one question inviting replies. Keep the whole thing under [WORD_COUNT] words.

Format: Newsletter-ready with subheadings. Scannable: short sections, bold key items.

Constraints: Only include items from [WEEK_MATERIAL] — don't invent news. If the week was slow, say so charmingly and go deeper on one item rather than padding. One reply-question max. Consistent structure every week builds ritual — keep the same section order. After generating, read the output aloud once and revise any line that doesn't sound like you.

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[DIGEST_NAME] [AUDIENCE] [NICHE] [TONE] [WEEK_MATERIAL] [WORD_COUNT]
