Quick Start

Transform text into a Medium article draft by generating the required 4-part structure with title variations, benefits, problem description, and solution.

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Input Text

Read and understand the provided text:

• Extract core message or topic
• Identify the problem being discussed
• Understand the solution being proposed
• Note key benefits or outcomes

Step 2: Generate Title Variations

Create 3 distinct title options:

Title 1: Direct and descriptive

• Clearly states the topic
• Includes primary keyword if applicable
• Example: "How to Optimize React Performance With These 5 Techniques"

Title 2: Benefit-oriented

• Focuses on what the reader gains
• Uses emotional or actionable language
• Example: "Speed Up Your React App: 5 Performance Techniques That Work"

Title 3: Curiosity-driven

• Creates intrigue without clickbait
• Uses questions or contrasts
• Example: "Why Your React App Is Slow (and 5 Ways to Fix It)"

For title optimization strategies, see enhancement-tips.md.

Step 3: Structure the Article

Create the 4-part structure in this exact order:

Benefits Section

• List 3-5 key benefits of the solution
• Use bullet points for readability
• Focus on outcomes and improvements
• Keep benefits specific and measurable

Problem Section

• Clearly describe the problem being solved
• Explain why the problem matters
• Include personal experience or examples if applicable
• Build urgency or relevance

Solution Section

• Present the solution step-by-step
• Provide code examples if technical
• Explain why the solution works
• Include implementation details

Step 4: Apply Medium Formatting

Format the article for Medium readability:

Use headers:

• ## for "Benefits", "Problem", "Solution" sections
• ### for subsections within each section
• Keep headers clear and descriptive

Apply text formatting:

• Use **bold** for key terms and benefits
• Use *italic* for emphasis
• Use code blocks for technical content

Structure for readability:

• Use lists (ordered or unordered) for multiple items
• Keep paragraphs short (2-4 sentences)
• Add visual breaks every 150-200 words

For complete formatting guidelines, see formatting.md.

Step 5: Enhance with Style and Engagement

Optional improvements to consider:

Writing Style

• Choose an appropriate tone (conversational, professional, enthusiastic)
• Mix short and medium sentences for rhythm
• Use personal voice ("I", "my experience")
• Add opening hooks and transitions

For style guidelines, see writing-style.md.

Engagement Elements

• Add questions throughout the article
• Include personal anecdotes or examples
• Use rhetorical questions to maintain interest
• Add a call-to-action at the end

SEO and Optimization

• Include primary keyword in title and content
• Write a compelling first paragraph
• Use benefit-oriented language
• Consider title keywords for searchability

Output Format

The final article draft should follow this structure:

- [Benefit 1]
- [Benefit 2]
- [Benefit 3]
