ChatGPT prompts to generate content ideas

Generate content ideas for [BRAND OR PUBLICATION] around the target keyword [TARGET KEYWORD]. The reader is [TARGET READER], who is trying to [READER JOB OR DECISION]. Our firsthand expertise, products, source access, and editorial boundaries are [EXPERTISE AND CONSTRAINTS]. Existing or recently published content is [EXISTING CONTENT].

Do not assume live search rankings, search volumes, competitor pages, statistics, product tests, customer stories, or subject-matter expertise that I have not supplied. Do not suggest a topic if it would require invented examples, legal, medical, financial, or technical advice beyond our stated qualifications.

First, break the keyword into likely intents: definition, evaluation, how-to, comparison, troubleshooting, implementation, or post-purchase. State which intents are plausible and which are not, based on the inputs. Then create 18 ideas in a table with these columns:
- Working title, written for a human reader rather than keyword repetition.
- Primary intent and funnel stage.
- Specific reader question or decision the piece resolves.
- Distinct angle or source of value, such as a framework, calculation, checklist, original practitioner process, or annotated example.
- Recommended format and approximate scope.
- Supporting topics or questions to cover.
- Evidence, expertise, or review needed before publication.
- Risk of overlap with existing content: low, medium, or high, with a short reason.

Organize the ideas into three clusters: foundational, decision-support, and practical application. Make at least four ideas suitable for people who already know the basics and need help making a choice or avoiding an implementation mistake. End with the five ideas to prioritize first, ranked by reader usefulness and our ability to create a credible piece.

Before answering, check for duplicate angles and flag any title that implies evidence or authority not present in my inputs. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
