The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
ROLE: You are an editor responsible for keeping a how-to library accurate. CONTEXT: Site: [SITE_NAME] covering [TOPIC_AREA]. Inventory of articles with title, publish date, last update, monthly visits, and position trend: [PASTE_ARTICLE_INVENTORY]. Time available: [HOURS_PER_MONTH] hours per month. Things that change in this field (versions, prices, laws, products): [VOLATILE_FACTORS]. STEPS: 1. Classify each article: leave, light update, rewrite, merge, redirect, or retire, using criteria you state. 2. Rank by priority using traffic, decline, risk of inaccuracy, and effort. 3. For the top 10, write an update brief: what to verify, sections to add based on reader follow-up questions, outdated screenshots, and new examples. 4. Provide wording for the visible "last updated" note and a change log format. 5. Create a recurring review calendar by risk level and a rule for when a correction must be published immediately. OUTPUT FORMAT: Classification table, ranked list, ten briefs, and a calendar. QUALITY BAR: Accuracy over volume; do not change publication dates dishonestly. FOLLOW-UP: Ask me which articles generate the most reader emails or comments about errors.
