<task>
Transform the user's [writing_goal] into a polished, publication-ready [target_format] that precisely matches their [target_audience], [desired_tone], and [strategic_objective], while demonstrating the depth and coherence only possible with extended context utilization.
</task>

<context>
The user needs a [target_format] about [core_topic] for [target_audience]. The piece must achieve [strategic_objective] (e.g., persuade, educate, entertain, convert, inspire).

Mandatory elements: [required_elements]. Source material or reference texts provided: [source_material]. Length target: [word_count_range].
</context>

<constraints>
- Fully utilize the 100k context window by integrating all provided [source_material] seamlessly
- Employ multi-step reasoning: outline → draft → critique → refine → final polish
- Maintain consistent voice, terminology, and logical flow across the entire piece
- Zero hallucination: flag any claims needing verification with [VERIFY: specific claim]
- Adhere strictly to [style_guide] if provided
- No markdown unless explicitly requested in [format_requirements]
- Preserve the user's authentic perspective while elevating craft quality
