Prompt template
Write headline options for the piece below.

What it is: {{content_type}}
What it is about: {{summary}}
Reader: {{audience}}
Main goal: {{goal}}
Maximum characters per headline: {{max_chars}}

Create 12 headlines, three for each of these angles:
1. Clear and literal (says exactly what the reader gets)
2. Curiosity (a gap the reader wants to close, without hiding the topic)
3. Benefit or outcome (a specific result, with a number if the summary supports one)
4. Contrarian or surprising (challenges a common belief that is true to the content)

Rules:
- Stay accurate. Do not promise anything the piece does not deliver.
- No clickbait formulas such as "You won't believe" or "This one trick".
- Vary structure and opening words.
- Stay within the character limit and show the character count of each.

Output format: a table with columns Angle, Headline, Characters. Then name your top pick for the stated goal and explain it in one sentence.

| Angle | Headline | Characters | |---|---|---| | Clear | How to Run a 30-Minute One-on-One That Works | 44 | | Clear | A Simple Agenda for Weekly One-on-Ones | 38 | | Clear | One-on-One Meetings: A Guide for New Managers | 45 | | Curiosity | The Three Questions Great Managers Always Ask | 45 | | Curiosity | Why Your One-on-Ones Keep Getting Cancelled | 43 | | Curiosity | What Employees Actually Want From a One-on-One | 46 | | Benefit | Run One-on-Ones People Keep in 30 Minutes a Week | 48 | | Benefit | 3 Questions That Turn Check-Ins Into Real Talk | 46 | | Benefit | A One-on-One Agenda You Can Use Tomorrow | 40 | | Contrarian | Stop Using One-on-Ones for Status Updates | 41 | | Contrarian | Your One-on-One Is Not Your Meeting | 35 | | Contrarian | Shorter One-on-Ones Get Better Results | 38 | Top pick for search clicks: "How to Run a 30-Minute One-on-One That Works", because it matches how people search and states the payoff.

Why it works

Choosing the goal changes which headlines rise to the top. Ask for a second round on the angle you like best.
