Two-Stage Manuscript Writing
First an outline of each section with evidence, then prose in full paragraphs.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For writing a manuscript section without rambling, unsupported text: first an outline, then full paragraphs only after you approve it.
How to use it
Pick the section from [ABSTRACT / INTRODUCTION / METHODS / RESULTS / DISCUSSION], paste results and notes into [PASTE], and add the journal style and word limit. After approving the outline, reply go.
Short example
Section: Discussion; notes: 3 key findings and limitations; style: Vancouver; 600 words.
What to expect
Stage 1 is a bullet outline only: each paragraph's message and evidence. After go, continuous formal paragraphs with [CITATION NEEDED] where references belong.
Precautions and tips
- The model must not invent data or references; fill the marked spots yourself.
- Do not say go before reading the outline, because that is where the main edits happen.
- If the word limit is exceeded, ask for a cut.

## Output format
Stage 1 outline only, then, after I say "go", the full-paragraph text with [CITATION NEEDED] markers.

- No bullet lists in the final prose
- Do not invent data or references
- Keep within the word limitThe prompt text is the original English and is not translated: paste it into your AI tool as is. Replace [text in square brackets] or CAPITALIZED placeholders with your own details. Always check the answer.
