The prompt
This is what lands in your composer — edit the [blanks] and send.
Draft an ~800-word op-ed arguing: "[the argument you want to make]". Open with a hook tied to a current event, state the thesis in the first two paragraphs, build three evidence-backed supports with specific facts and citations, steelman and rebut the strongest counterargument, and close with a forward-looking line. Persuasive but honest — no strawmen.
