How to Customize These Templates

These templates are starting points, not finished products. To get the best results from any template, follow these customization principles:

• Add your context: The more specific information you provide in the brackets, the better the output.
• Adjust the tone: Every template includes a tone specification. Experiment with different tones to find what works for your audience.
• Iterate on output format: If the first result is not structured the way you want, add more specific formatting instructions.
• Chain templates: Use the output of one template as input for another. Generate a blog outline first, then use the content creation template for each section.
• Save your customized versions: Once you find a template modification that works well, save it for reuse.
