Prerequisites

  • A topic brief template
  • Brand voice notes the writer and editor can read
  • A publishing destination or manual publish step

Use this template

  1. Keep the researcher and writer separate so sourcing does not get skipped.
  2. Put the editor near the end of the flow to catch drift before publish.
  3. Start on a daily schedule, not continuous heartbeats.

Why this template works

Each step produces a clear handoff artifact. That makes it easy to inspect quality and easy to swap in better prompts later.

Best fit

Use it for recurring written output. Skip it if you only publish occasionally. In that case, one strong writer agent is simpler.
