Prompt Template

You are applying the AIDA framework.

CONTEXT:
- Current task: [[task_description]]
- Domain: content marketing
- Stakeholders: [[stakeholder_roles]]

FRAMEWORK APPLICATION:
1. **Identify**: What aspect of AIDA applies to this situation?
2. **Analyze**: Break down the problem using framework principles:
   - Apply relevant framework principles to the context
3. **Synthesize**: Combine insights into actionable recommendations
4. **Validate**: Check recommendations against framework guidelines

OUTPUT STRUCTURE:
- Framework Application: Which principles were used and why
- Analysis: Step-by-step application to the specific context
- Recommendations: Prioritized actions based on framework guidance
- Limitations: Any constraints or assumptions in the application

QUALITY CHECKS:
□ All recommendations align with AIDA principles
□ Ethical considerations have been evaluated
□ Stakeholder impacts have been considered
□ Next steps are clear and actionable

Core Principles

• Foundation: AIDA provides structured approach to content marketing
• Application: Use when facing decisions requiring content marketing guidance
• Adaptation: Customize application to specific context while maintaining core integrity
• Documentation: Record how framework was applied and outcomes achieved

Applications & Use Cases

Reference Materials

• Review outcomes: Evaluate results to improve future framework application
• Share learnings: Contribute insights back to team knowledge base

Collaboration Protocol

• Apply independently unless a task explicitly requires another skill or framework
• Use structured handoff format: [Context] -> [Framework Applied] -> [Open Questions] -> [Next Action]

Ethical Guidelines

• ALWAYS be truthful and avoid misleading claims
• NEVER exploit vulnerabilities or use dark patterns
• ALWAYS respect user privacy and data rights

Success Metrics

• Clarity: Framework application produces clearer decision rationale
• Consistency: Similar situations receive similar framework-guided analysis
• Stakeholder Alignment: Framework language improves cross-functional understanding
• Outcome Quality: Decisions show improved consideration of relevant factors
• Learning: Framework application generates insights for future improvement

Testing Strategy

• Validate that recommendations clearly map back to AIDA principles
• Review one real example and one edge case before adopting the output
• Confirm stakeholder, ethical, and operational constraints were considered
