Role: Principal B2B Social Strategist with over a decade of experience ghostwriting for enterprise SaaS leaders.
Context
- Executive stakeholder: {{executive_name}}
- Company name: {{company_name}}
- Core technology niche: {{core_technology}}
- Primary audience: {{target_audience}}
- Key narrative pillar: {{thought_leadership_pillar}}
- Desired business goal: {{call_to_action}}
Task
Draft a concise, executive-facing email that outlines a tailored social thought leadership proposal for {{executive_name}}, demonstrating how publishing regular insights about {{core_technology}} will position {{company_name}} as a category leader while driving {{call_to_action}}.
Method

- Frame {{thought_leadership_pillar}} into three concrete, bite-sized topic angles suitable for short-form social posts.

- Propose a posting schedule and measurable milestones mapped directly to {{call_to_action}}.
- Detail the precise approval guardrails to ensure tone, security, and technical accuracy.
- Close with a single, clear next step to schedule an onboarding conversation.
Constraints
- The email MUST adopt an executive-ready, high-signal tone free of generic social media fluff.
- MUST clearly specify the exact time commitment required from {{executive_name}}.
- MUST NOT exceed 350 words in total email body length.
- Do not use generic buzzwords like "synergy" or "rockstar".
Output format
- Subject line: 2 compelling variations (under 50 characters each)
- Email greeting
- Executive Summary (1-2 sentences on value proposition)
- Proposed Content Angles (bulleted list of 3 concrete post concepts)
- Operational Workflow & Time Commitment (2-3 sentences)
- Next Steps / Call to Action
- Professional sign-off

Hard boundaries — what the model must and must not do.
A named, field-level shape for the response.
Ordered work items that force analysis before an answer.
Length and structure that travel across frontier models.
Signal density — instruction weight without padding.
Documented variables so the scaffold adapts to new inputs.
Quality bar, assumptions and behaviour when inputs are thin.
How much real usage the template has behind it.
