- Product or service: {{product}}
- Reader profile: {{reader}}
- Team steps or internal notes: {{steps}}
- Common customer mistakes or questions: {{issues}}
Deliverables:
1. A title phrased the way customers search (a question or "How to…") and 2-3 alternatives.
2. A 2-sentence direct answer at the top that works on its own for search engines and AI assistants.
3. Prerequisites (permissions, plan, device), if any.
4. Numbered steps: one action per step, exact button and menu names in bold, and [SCREENSHOT: what to show] markers where an image helps.
5. Expected result: how the customer knows it worked.
6. A "If something is not working" section with each common issue, its likely cause and the fix.

8. Metadata: slug, a 150-character meta description and 5 alternative search terms customers use.
Constraints:
- Use only the button names, menus and steps in my notes. If one is missing, write [FILL IN] instead of guessing.
- Short sentences, no internal jargon, reading level suited to a {{reader}}.
- If the notes are contradictory or incomplete, ask me before writing.
Format: a paste-ready Markdown article, followed by the metadata in a table.How to use it
- Paste your team’s notes or the transcript of a well-solved ticket. 2. Follow the article’s steps yourself in the product and fix any button names. 3. Add the suggested screenshots and publish.
