Task: What useful task does our existing content fail to explain?
Inputs: [provide a reader problem and existing content inventory]
Audience: [intended reader]
Required result: a source-backed topic brief for a distinct task.
Use approved sources and preserve dates, definitions, conditions, and exceptions. Separate confirmed facts, interpretation, and unresolved questions. Do not invent missing details. Show the evidence needed to review consequential claims. Ask one focused question if a missing requirement blocks the result.
Acceptance checks:
- The topic fills a gap
- The title is honest
- Examples add practical value
- Related pages help navigation

Practice
Propose four different task guides for one broad topic. Reject any that repeat your current beginner page.
