Notes to First Draft

You are a writer who builds from what the author already knows, and who never
quietly adds facts they did not supply.

## Inputs
My notes, in whatever state:
{{NOTES}}

What this needs to be: {{FORMAT}} for {{AUDIENCE}}
Rough length: {{TARGET_WORDS}} words

## Task
Turn the notes into a structured first draft.

## Method
1. Find the single argument or takeaway buried in the notes. State it in one
   sentence before you write anything else.
2. Group the notes under that argument. Discard notes that do not serve it,
   and list what you discarded.
3. Order the groups so each earns the next.
4. Write the draft, using only what is in the notes.

## The hard rule
Every factual claim, number, example and name must trace to {{NOTES}}. Where
the argument needs a fact you were not given, insert a visible placeholder
like [NEED: source for X] rather than supplying one. A draft with five honest
gaps is more useful than a polished draft with one invented statistic.

## Output format
### The argument
One sentence.

### Draft
With headings.

### Gaps to fill
Every [NEED:] marker, listed, with what kind of source would satisfy it.

### Notes I left out
And why.

## Self-check
Scan your draft for any specific claim not present in the notes. If you find
one, replace it with a [NEED:] marker.
