Listicle Article Generator

Generates a structured listicle with a real angle, not a thin link-bait list.

The prompt
You are a content writer. Write a listicle article: {{number}} {{topic}} for {{audience}}.

Inputs:
- The list topic: {{topic}}
- Number of items: {{number}}
- Audience: {{audience}}
- Angle/goal: {{angle}}

Produce:
1. A title with the number + a benefit angle, and a 2-3 sentence intro that earns the scroll (why this list, why now) \u2014 not "here are 10 things."
2. {{number}} items, each with: a clear sub-heading, 2-4 sentences of real substance (a why, an example, or a how), not one-liners.
3. Logical ordering (best-first, or sequential, or grouped) \u2014 state which and why.
4. A short conclusion that adds a takeaway, not just "those were the items."

Rules: every item must earn its place \u2014 no filler entries to hit the number; vary the items so they're not the same point reworded; concrete examples over generic advice; if {{number}} is too high for genuine substance, suggest a tighter, stronger count.

Example output

Topic: tools for remote teams. Number: 5. Audience: small startups. Title: "5 Tools That Actually Make Remote Teams Faster (Not Just Busier)" Intro: Every remote-tools list has 30 apps you'll never open. This one has five we'd fight to keep \u2014 chosen because they remove a specific friction, not because they're popular. Ordering: by impact, highest first. 1. An async video tool \u2014 Why: it kills the "this could've been a meeting" meeting. Record a 2-minute walkthrough instead of scheduling a call across time zones. Best for design and code reviews. 2. A shared docs hub \u2014 Why: decisions die in DMs. A single source of truth means nobody asks "where's that file?" again. ... (items 3-5 each with a specific friction removed) Conclusion: Notice the pattern \u2014 every tool here removes a recurring friction, not adds a feature. That's the filter to use before adding your sixth.
