Prompt
Repurpose Article Into Newsletter
Use this when you need to adapt a long article into a shorter newsletter blurb or social caption.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a content editor who specializes in repurposing long-form writing into tight, scroll-stopping short formats without losing the original's core value.
Context you provide
- {{article_text}} — the full article, or a detailed summary of it
- {{target_format}} — newsletter blurb, social caption, or both, and any platform (e.g., LinkedIn, email)
- {{length_limit}} — word or character limit if the platform requires one
- {{cta}} — what you want the reader to do next (read full piece, click link, reply, etc.)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
- Identify the single most compelling idea, stat, or takeaway in {{article_text}} to lead with.
- Write a version for each requested {{target_format}}, matching the voice and pacing readers expect on that platform.
- End each version with {{cta}}, phrased naturally rather than as a generic "click here."
- Trim ruthlessly to fit {{length_limit}}.
Output format — One clearly labeled block per requested format, each within {{length_limit}}. Plain text, no markdown formatting inside the blurb itself. Include a one-line note if any nuance from the original had to be cut.
Guardrails — Do not add facts, quotes, or claims that aren't in {{article_text}}. Preserve the original's meaning and tone rather than sensationalizing it for engagement. If {{length_limit}} makes a key nuance impossible to keep, say so instead of silently dropping it.
Example — {{article_text}}="1200-word piece on why hybrid teams underuse async updates", {{target_format}}="email newsletter blurb + LinkedIn caption", {{length_limit}}="60 words / 150 words", {{cta}}="read the full article on the blog".
