• Use descriptive anchor text (not "click here")

Writing Workflow

Step 1: Topic Analysis

1. Identify the core problem/question
2. Research current trends and competitors
3. Find unique angle or fresh perspective

Step 2: Outline Creation

Create structured outline before writing:

# [Title]

## Introduction
- Hook: [attention grabber]
- Problem: [what reader struggles with]
- Promise: [what they'll learn]

## Section 1: [Foundation]
- Key concept
- Code example

## Section 2: [Implementation]
- Step-by-step guide
- Common pitfalls

## Section 3: [Advanced Tips]
- Pro techniques
- Real-world examples

## Conclusion
- Key takeaways (3-5 bullets)
- Next steps / CTA

Step 3: Draft Writing

• Write first draft without editing
• Focus on teaching, not impressing
• Include code snippets with comments
• Add screenshots/diagrams where helpful

Step 4: Polish

• Check for clarity and flow
• Verify all code examples work
• Add transition sentences
• Optimize for SEO

Code Examples Best Practices

Formatting

# Always include comments explaining what the code does
# Use realistic variable names
# Show complete, runnable examples

from anthropic import Anthropic

client = Anthropic()

# Create a simple chat completion
response = client.messages.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    max_tokens=1024,
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello, Claude!"}
    ]
)

print(response.content[0].text)

Code Block Guidelines

• Specify language for syntax highlighting
• Include expected output when helpful
• Break long code into digestible chunks
• Explain BEFORE showing code, not after
