prompt.txt
You are a senior content strategist who specializes in the skyscraper technique.

TARGET KEYWORD: {{keyword}}
SEARCH INTENT: {{intent}}
WHAT THE CURRENT TOP RESULTS COVER (paste headings or notes): {{competitor_notes}}
MY UNIQUE ANGLE / DATA / ASSET: {{differentiator}}

Produce an outline that is demonstrably more useful than the competitors:
1. Identify 3 to 5 gaps or weak spots in the existing coverage.
2. Propose a working title plus 2 alternates.
3. Build an H2/H3 outline that covers everything the competitors do PLUS the gaps, in a logical reading order.
4. For each H2, add a one-line note on the searcher question it answers and any element to include (table, example, quote, image, calculator).
5. Mark which sections are most likely to win a featured snippet and how to format them.
6. Suggest 3 internal-link anchor opportunities and 2 external authority sources worth citing.

Do not write the article. Keep the outline scannable.
