The prompt

Paste this as it is. Anything in [square brackets] is yours to replace.

paste into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor
Here are my rough notes. Turn them into a blog post in my site's usual voice, and save it as a draft so I can review it before it goes live. Do not publish it.

Why it is worded like that

The reason people paste AI writing into WordPress by hand is that they do not trust it to publish. Saying “draft” explicitly removes the question, and once you trust it you can make that the permanent default so you never say it again.

“My site’s usual voice” matters too. Without it you get competent writing that sounds like nothing in particular; with it, the assistant reads a few of your existing posts first.

What happens when you run it

  1. Reads a few of your existing posts to pick up how you write.
  2. Drafts the post and saves it unpublished.
  3. Leaves it in the editor as a normal post with normal revisions.

How to tell it worked

A draft you open and edit like any other. Say “publish it” when you are happy.

Tools this uses

Checked against the plugin. If one of these is ever renamed or removed, this recipe fails our check rather than sitting here being wrong.
