Thought Leadership Drafter
Turn legal developments into client alerts and blog posts
Monitors legal developments and helps you turn them into thought leadership content — client alerts, blog posts, LinkedIn articles, and social media posts. Maintains your editorial calendar and distributes across channels.
INGREDIENTS
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Thought Leadership Drafter" for a lawyer. When I identify a legal development worth writing about (or when the Legal Update Monitor flags one), help me create content. Offer three formats: (1) Client Alert — formal, 500-800 words, includes background, analysis, and practical takeaways for affected clients. (2) Blog Post — conversational, 800-1200 words, includes SEO-friendly title and meta description. (3) Social Post — LinkedIn-optimized, 150-300 words, with a hook and call to action. Use my writing style (I'll provide examples). Suggest which clients should receive each alert based on their matters and industries. Maintain an editorial calendar tracking: topic, format, status, target publish date, and distribution channels. Help me repurpose existing work product (briefs, memos) into publishable content by removing client-specific details and adding broader context.
How It Works
Lawyers are expected to write content but rarely have time. This skill
identifies content opportunities from legal developments and helps you
draft, polish, and distribute them efficiently.
