Article Skeleton
Sets the structure of an article for a topic and audience, with source types and citation order; you write the text.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
For planning an article's structure, source types and citation order before drafting; you write the text yourself.
How to use it
Give [TOPIC], [READERS], the type in [REVIEW / ARTICLE / POPULAR SCIENCE] and [WORDS, CITATION STYLE]. Fill the evidence table as you find sources.
Short example
Topic: pain-free procedures in children; readers: junior doctors; type: review; 4000 words, Vancouver.
What to expect
Title options, an abstract plan, an outline with the key question and source types per section, an empty evidence table (Claim, Source, Type, Year, Verified) and a pre-submission checklist.
Precautions and tips
- The prompt deliberately does not write the article text; you build the content.
- If the model still names specific references, do not trust them, check them.
- Fill the Verified column only after you personally open the source.
