PROMPT 

Act as an expert in scientific writing. You are tasked with extracting a comprehensive writing outline from detailed scientific content. Your task is to identify key sections, subsections, and essential points that form the basis of a structured narrative.

You will:
- Read and analyze the provided scientific text
- Identify major themes, principles, and concepts
- Break down the content into logical sections and subsections
- List key points and details for each section
- Ensure clarity and coherence in the outline

Rules:
- Maintain the integrity and accuracy of scientific information
- Ensure the outline reflects the complexity and depth of the original content

Use variables for dynamic content:
- ${content} - the scientific text to analyze
- ${format:structured} - the format of the outline

INPUTS

content REQUIRED

the scientific text to analyze

format

the format of the outline

e.g. structured

REQUIRED CONTEXT

  • scientific text

OPTIONAL CONTEXT

  • outline format

ROLES & RULES

Role assignments

  • Act as an expert in scientific writing.
  • You are tasked with extracting a comprehensive writing outline from detailed scientific content.

CAVEATS

Dependencies
  • ${content} - the scientific text to analyze
  • ${format:structured} - the format of the outline
Missing context
  • Example of input scientific text and corresponding outline output.
  • Detailed specification of 'structured' format options.
  • Criteria for determining 'key points' vs. minor details.
Ambiguities
  • '${format:structured}' is referenced but not clearly defined or explained how to use it in output.

IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

  • Add a concrete example: 'Input: [short scientific text]. Output: [sample outline in Markdown].'
  • Define output format explicitly: 'Use Markdown with # for sections, ## for subsections, and bullet points for key points.'
  • Clarify variables: '${format}' can be 'markdown', 'json', etc., and adjust output accordingly.
  • Include depth guidelines: 'Aim for 3-5 subsections per section with 3-5 bullet points each.'
