Long-Form Drafting
4 promptsWhite Paper from Research
1/16✨ What it does
Claude drafts a 10 to 15 page white paper from [Paste research notes / sources / interview transcripts], with outline, full draft, citations, an executive summary, and a clear argument. Check every citation against the source, then format the draft in your Word file.
[Paste research notes / sources / interview transcripts]. Draft 10-15 page white paper. Output: structured outline → full draft, with proper citations to sources, executive summary at top, clear argument flow. Long context = research absorbed.
Pro tip: White papers requiring multi-source synthesis = Claude's strength. Reading 30+ pages of inputs + producing 10 pages of coherent argument = the long-context magic.
RFP Response — Whole Document
2/16✨ What it does
Claude drafts a full RFP response from [Paste RFP] plus [our capabilities deck/notes], answering each question with evidence, a differentiator, a case study, and an executive summary. Drop the answers into your Word template and have a reviewer check every claim.
[Paste RFP] + [our capabilities deck/notes]. Draft full RFP response. Output: per RFP question, our answer with evidence, differentiator highlighted, case study reference, executive summary. Structured Word doc ready to format.
Pro tip: RFP responses bid by chunk = inconsistent + slow. Whole-RFP via Claude long context = consistent voice + 50% faster. Quality + speed unlock.
Long Report from Notes
3/16✨ What it does
Claude builds a long report from [Paste meeting notes / research / data over weeks], with structured sections, citations, a narrative, chart placeholders, and recommendations. Insert the real charts and cut any recommendation you cannot defend.
[Paste meeting notes / research / data over weeks]. Build comprehensive report. Output: structured sections, sources cited, narrative arc, charts placeholder where data fits, recommendations. Synthesis at scale.
Pro tip: Notes accumulating = unread by anyone after. Synthesis report = surface insights. Most teams skip synthesis; the discipline reveals patterns.
Book Chapter Draft
4/16✨ What it does
Claude drafts chapter [X] at 5,000 to 15,000 words from [Paste outline + research per chapter], matching [reference style], with citations and smooth transitions. Read it against the outline and rewrite any section that drifts from your voice.
[Paste outline + research per chapter]. Draft chapter [X]. Output: 5,000-15,000 words, narrative voice consistent with [reference style], citations, smooth section transitions. Long-form non-fiction.
Pro tip: Book writing in chunks = inconsistent voice across chapters. Long-context Claude maintains voice across 10K-word chapter. Cohesion at scale.

Document Audits
4 promptsWhole-Doc Structure Audit
5/16✨ What it does
Claude audits [Paste full document] for section flow, repetition, missing parts, heading hierarchy, and whether the argument holds, with specific rewrite notes. Apply the structural fixes first, then do your line edit.
[Paste full document]. Audit: section flow logical? Repetition between sections? Missing sections? Heading hierarchy clear? Argument coherent across whole? Specific rewrite recommendations. Whole-doc reading catches what self-edit misses.
Pro tip: Self-edit blindness real for long docs. Outside review (Claude reading whole doc) catches structural issues invisible at section level.
Plain Language Conversion
6/16✨ What it does
Claude rewrites [Paste jargon-heavy doc] in plain language at [grade] reading level, keeping meaning and technical accuracy while shortening sentences. Read one technical section with a colleague to confirm nothing important was lost for you.
[Paste jargon-heavy doc]. Rewrite in plain language. Target reading level: [grade]. Keep meaning + technical accuracy; cut jargon, simplify sentences, prefer specific over abstract. Section-by-section, full doc.
Pro tip: Whole-doc plain language conversion via Claude = consistent voice + speed. Section-by-section = inconsistent + slow. Long context wins.
Tone Calibration Across Doc
7/16✨ What it does
Claude calibrates tone across [Paste full doc] so formality, voice, and authority stay even, and flags drift that often means multiple authors. Accept the cohesive rewrite, then restore any section that must stay in your different voice.
[Paste full doc]. Calibrate tone consistent across sections: same formality, same voice, same authority level. Flag where tone drifts (often signs of multiple authors). Rewrite for cohesion.
Pro tip: Multi-author docs have tonal drift. Claude reading whole doc spots inconsistency human reviewers miss. Cohesion edit = professional finish.
Argument Strength Audit
8/16✨ What it does
Claude audits [Paste argumentative doc] for unsupported claims, missing counter-arguments, logical leaps, and where an opponent would attack. Shore up the weakest claim or cut it before anyone else reads your file.
[Paste argumentative doc]. Audit: claims supported? Counter-arguments addressed? Logical leaps? Where weak? Where could opposing party attack? Brutal critique = better final doc.
Pro tip: Friend reviewers polite. Claude as skeptical reader = catches weak claims + unaddressed counters. Brutal critique = stronger published doc.
Multi-Doc Workflows
4 promptsCross-Doc Consistency Check
9/16✨ What it does
Claude checks [Paste 3-5 related docs] for contradictions, mismatched definitions, different data, and voice drift. Fix the contradictions in the source of record and update the other docs to match your canon.
[Paste 3-5 related docs]. Cross-doc consistency: do they contradict? Use same definitions? Reference same data? Speak with one voice? Flag inconsistencies. Critical for compliance, regulatory, multi-author projects.
Pro tip: Multi-doc projects (compliance, regulatory) often inconsistent across docs. Sloppy or mass-produced. Cross-doc audit = catches before submission.
Source Synthesis to New Doc
10/16✨ What it does
Claude synthesizes [Paste 5-10 source documents] into a new document on [topic], with an integrated narrative, citations, agreement, tradeoffs, and research gaps. Mark the gaps you still need to fill before you circulate the draft.
[Paste 5-10 source documents]. Synthesize into new document on [topic]. Output: integrated narrative drawing from all sources, citations, where sources agree (high-confidence claims), where they diverge (note tradeoffs), gaps requiring more research.
Pro tip: Synthesis docs = where research becomes value. Claude reading 50K words of source = output 10K words of insight. Compounded research utility.
Translate Doc Variants
11/16✨ What it does
Claude turns [Paste doc] into three variants: an executive 1-pager, a team 5-pager, and an external 3-pager, each with the right detail and framing. Pick the version for your next reader and delete leftover internal detail from the external one.
[Paste doc]. Generate 3 variants for: (A) executive 1-pager, (B) team 5-pager, (C) external client 3-pager. Per variant: appropriate detail level, audience-tuned framing, length-targeted. Same source; different audiences served.
Pro tip: Same content, different audiences = different docs needed. Claude generating variants = serve all audiences efficiently. Most teams produce one doc + miss audiences.
Track Changes Synthesis
12/16✨ What it does
Claude triages [Paste doc with multiple track changes from reviewers] into themes, conflicts, cosmetic accepts, and the substantive decisions you still have to make. Decide the conflicts, then accept or reject in Word yourself.
[Paste doc with multiple track changes from reviewers]. Synthesize: themes in feedback, conflicting suggestions, where to accept all (cosmetic), where decisions needed (substantive), how to address. Triage 200 comments to 20 decisions.
Pro tip: Multi-reviewer track changes = overwhelming. Pattern synthesis (from Claude) = themes + decisions visible. Editing in pattern view = systematic; comment-by-comment = chaotic.

Specialized Docs
4 promptsLegal Doc Plain-Language Summary
13/16✨ What it does
Claude writes a plain-language summary of [Paste legal document] covering key terms, obligations, risks, escape clauses, and what to negotiate, and labels it as an aid, not legal advice. Use it to list questions for counsel, not as a substitute for your lawyer.
[Paste legal document — contract / policy / agreement]. Plain-language summary: key terms, obligations on each party, risks, escape clauses, what to negotiate. NOT legal advice; aid to understanding.
Pro tip: Legal docs unread by signatories = surprise obligations. Plain-language summary = informed signing. Critical for clients, employees, partners. Always recommend lawyer review for actual decisions.
Technical Spec → Product Brief
14/16✨ What it does
Claude turns [Paste technical spec] into a product brief with who it is for, the outcome, how it differs, and business value in language sales can use. Replace any leftover engineering jargon and add the real differentiator you sell.
[Paste technical spec]. Translate to product brief: who it's for (user-centric language), what it does (outcome-focused), how it differs from alternatives, business value. Engineering document → marketing/sales-usable doc.
Pro tip: Engineering specs unread by sales/marketing. Product brief from spec = team alignment. Same product, two languages = two audiences served.
Policy Doc Drafting
15/16✨ What it does
Claude drafts a policy on [topic] with purpose, scope, definitions, expected behavior, procedures, compliance, exceptions, owner, and review cadence. Name the owner and run it past the people who must follow it before you publish.
Draft policy document on [topic]. Output: purpose, scope, definitions, policy statement (specific behavior expected), procedures, compliance, exceptions, ownership + review cadence. Specific enough to follow; flexible enough to last.
Pro tip: Policy docs over-specific = unworkable. Over-vague = unenforceable. Claude long context allows comparison to existing policies for consistency.
Standard Operating Procedure
16/16✨ What it does
Claude converts [Paste rough process description] into an SOP with purpose, scope, prerequisites, numbered steps, if/then points, verification, exceptions, and version. Walk a new hire through the steps and fix any gap they hit in your process.
[Paste rough process description]. Convert to SOP. Output: purpose, scope, prerequisites, step-by-step (numbered, specific), decision points (if/then), verification, exceptions, version. New hire could follow without help.
Pro tip: SOPs fail at "depending on situation." Specific decision points (if X then Y, else Z) = SOPs that handle reality. Claude formalizes the implicit.
