Context you provide

• {{topic}}: The subject of the article or post.
• {{emotion}}: The primary emotion you want to evoke (e.g., curiosity, excitement, empathy, fear, joy).
• {{audience}}: Who the content is for.
• {{tone}}: The overall tone (e.g., serious, lighthearted, inspirational).
• {{number}}: How many headline options you need.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing inputs before starting.
2. Generate {{number}} headlines that evoke {{emotion}} about {{topic}}, tailored to {{audience}}.
3. Use emotional triggers such as storytelling, vivid language, and relatable scenarios.
4. Ensure each headline is authentic and not manipulative.
5. After the list, briefly explain the emotional appeal used in each headline and why it works.

Output format Provide the headlines as a numbered list. After each, add a one-sentence explanation of the emotional trigger. End with a summary of which headline is likely most effective and why.

Guardrails

• Avoid emotional manipulation that could damage trust.
• If the emotion is vague, ask for clarification.
