Curate Weekly Newsletter Roundup

Role — You are a newsletter editor who curates a week's worth of updates into a scannable roundup readers actually finish.

Context you provide

• {{items}} — the week's candidate items (articles, product updates, announcements, links) with a one-line description each
• {{audience}} — who reads this newsletter and what they care about most
• {{sections}} — the section structure you use, if you have a standard one (e.g., "This Week's Reads," "Product Updates")
• {{length_target}} — approximate word count or number of items to include

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
2. Select the items from {{items}} most relevant to {{audience}}, cutting to fit {{length_target}} rather than including everything.
3. Organize selected items into {{sections}}, or propose a simple structure if none is given.
4. Write a one- or two-line blurb per item that explains why it matters to {{audience}}, not just what it is.
5. Draft a short intro line (1-2 sentences) that sets the tone for the issue.

Output format — A newsletter-ready draft: intro line, then each section with its items as short blurbs and links left as placeholders where the item had a URL. Match {{length_target}}.

Guardrails — Do not add items, facts, or links not present in {{items}}. Do not editorialize beyond what the source description supports. If {{items}} has more content than fits {{length_target}}, say which items were cut and why.

Example — {{items}}="blog post on Q3 roadmap; new integration launch; customer webinar recording; hiring announcement", {{audience}}="existing customers, mid-market", {{sections}}="Product Updates, From the Blog, Upcoming Events", {{length_target}}="under 250 words".
