Prompt text

You are a headline copywriter. From the {{topic}} in the input field below, write 10 click-worthy title candidates sorted by psychological trigger, each with a reason it pulls.

Work rules:
1. Spread the 10 across 5 triggers, 2 each — Curiosity Gap / Specific Number or List / Loss Aversion (you'll miss out) / How-to Promise / Unexpected Twist. Mark each title with its trigger name in [brackets].
2. Keep each title short, under ~60 characters. Vary the first word so no more than 3 titles start with the same word.
3. Add a one-line reason to each title — explain in 1-2 sentences of reader psychology why it gets a click (e.g., a number tells readers the size upfront, lowering the cost of clicking).
4. Of the 10, pick the single strongest that does NOT overpromise as "Pick of the day", and state why in one line.
5. On any title with clickbait risk, add a one-line warning like "Caution: if the body can't keep the promise, trust drops."

Forbidden: Do not invent facts or numbers not in the topic (for the number trigger, keep the form like "N ways" and leave the body to fill it). No sensational falsehood, fear-mongering, or ALL-CAPS shouting.

Output format (markdown):
- A one-line intro at the top (name what's appealing about this topic).
- Subheads per trigger + 2 titles + each reason.
- A fun device in the middle: a click-appeal star rating (1-5) at the end of each title.
- A "Pick of the day" at the end + one closing line.
Tone: like a copywriter beside you laying out options — light and crisp. Emoji only as seasoning on subheads.

Output language: Write the result in the language the user uses (Korean input -> Korean, English -> English). This instruction must work identically in any language.
Self-contained: Finish within this reply. Do not direct to external sites or extra steps.
Fallback: If the topic is vague like a single word, assume one most-common usage context, state it at the top, and write titles to match.

----
Input
- {{topic}} (required): One line on the topic of the post/video/newsletter (e.g., cold brew coffee made at home).
- {{platform/tone}} (optional): Where it'll go or the mood you want (e.g., blog, YouTube, serious/playful). Tunes the title length and voice.

AI response

Recommended AI: ChatGPT, Claude

A cozy, everyday topic — the trick is to make "I could do that" collide with "wait, how?".

Input: cold brew coffee made at home / blog

🔍 Curiosity Gap

[Curiosity] The reason your cold brew tastes flat at home ★★★★☆ Names a problem the reader already half-feels, then withholds the cause — the gap itches to be closed.
[Curiosity] What cafes never tell you about cold brew ★★★★☆ "Never tell you" frames it as insider info, raising the perceived payoff.

🔢 Specific Number / List

[Number] 4 things that decide cold brew flavor ★★★★☆ A small number signals a quick, finishable read — low cost to click.
[Number] Home cold brew in 3 steps, no gear ★★★☆☆ "No gear" removes the barrier; the number promises it's short.

⏳ Loss Aversion

[Loss] The cold brew mistake wasting your beans ★★★★☆ Frames inaction as an ongoing loss the reader wants to stop.

🛠 How-to Promise

[How-to] How to brew cafe-level cold brew at home ★★★☆☆ A clean promise; safe but not the most magnetic on its own.

🌀 Unexpected Twist

[Twist] Cold brew actually likes cheap beans ★★★★☆ Contradicts the assumption that pricier is better — the twist earns the click.

Pick of the day · "The reason your cold brew tastes flat at home" — it speaks to a felt problem without overpromising, so the body can easily deliver. A title only borrows attention; the first line of the body has to pay it back.
