The Snippets of Content Prompt: Output Formats, Constraints and Rules
Use the snippets of output formats, constraints and rules to standardize your content prompts.
Use the snippets of output formats, constraints and rules to standardize your content prompts.
Content prompt is hard to manage and reuse when every word sits in one paragraph.
The lists below are the snippets that can be reused in a content prompt with the prefix like blog.format, blog.constraint, and blog.rule to avoid a content pack from colliding with marketing or sales pack.
Snippets below follow the naming rule as topic.family.job. View the naming rule.
Format snippets wrap the answer. They set the order of the finished file.
Keeps one clean Markdown post and blocks chat preamble.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.format.article_body}} | Markdown article only (H1, H2s, H3s). |
Places the summary after the article so skimmers still get the point.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.format.takeaways_block}} | Then a section: Key takeaways. |
Keeps search-style questions in one block after takeaways.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.format.faq_block}} | Then a section: FAQ. |
Gives the CMS two labeled lines and then stops.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.format.meta_lines}} | Then exactly two lines: Meta title and Meta description. |
The {{snippet:}} prefix is the dedicated prefix for Acluebox to assign snippet value instead of {{variable}} value.
Constraint snippets are bans. Break one and the draft should be rejected.
Locks length so the draft does not sprawl.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.constraint.word_count}} | 1,000–1,200 words. |
Stops the post from turning into a diary.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.constraint.no_first_person}} | No first person. |
Stops extra context from becoming a comparison page.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.constraint.no_competitors}} | No competitor names. |
Blocks fake numbers and fake citations.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.constraint.no_invented_proof}} | No invented statistics or sources. |
Allows a topic to appear without sounding like a diagnosis or an investment plan.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.constraint.no_advice_as_fact}} | No medical or financial advice presented as fact. |
no_advice_as_fact is clear as a meaning, but not unique as a token. The blog.constraint. prefix is what stops a later marketing or sales pack from sharing one flat name-space unless you wanted to.
Rule snippets raise quality inside the rails. Missing one makes the post weaker. It does not always make the post unusable.
Opens with the problem and the payoff before background.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.hook}} | Hook in the first 2–3 sentences. |
Puts comparisons in a scan path.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.table}} | Include at least one table. |
Uses both list types so the page does not stay as plain paragraphs.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.lists}} | One numbered list and one bullet list. |
Adds rest stops so a phone reader is not stuck in one long block.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.heading_rhythm}} | H2 or H3 every 200–300 words. |
Attaches a source to each number.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.sourced_stats}} | Cite at least two stats with sources. |
Writes questions the way a reader would search them.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.faq_count}} | 3–5 FAQ questions a reader would search. |
Keeps sentences short and words common.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.reading_level}} | 8th-grade reading level. |
Makes each block easy to read and easy to edit.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.paragraph_length}} | Paragraphs of 2–4 sentences. |
Asks for one next step, not three.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.single_cta}} | One clear CTA after takeaways. |
Stops search snippets from being cut mid-line.
| Snippet | Value |
|---|---|
| {{snippet:blog.rule.meta_limits}} | Meta title under 60 characters; description under 155. |
Generic names like hook, table, and lists are the ones most likely to collide with marketing or sales prompt. The blog.rule prefix keeps those jobs separate.
Use the references above or create your own snippets with the prefix like blog.rule to make your prompt easily to manage and reusable.
