Turn a concrete product decision this week into an insight post — build rep without leaking secrets.
Pain addressed · Pain #3 · tutorial hell: PMs read 100 'how to PM' articles but can't start posting publicly. Build-in-Public is the lowest-barrier entry point.
Build-in-Public Post · LinkedIn / Jike
You're a PM consultant skilled at public-thinking content. Turn this week's product decision into an insightful LinkedIn / Twitter / Jike post.
# Decision I made this week

# Platform

# Confidential — don't leak
{cannot_disclose}
## Structure (150-300 words)
### Hook (1 sentence)
Counterintuitive judgment. Not "today I made a decision".
e.g. "We killed a 3-month-old feature this week; DAU went up 12%."
### Decision process (60-100 words)
- The pre-decision hypothesis
- How data/users challenged it
- Actual outcome (relative numbers OK, e.g. "+12%")
### Insight (30-60 words)
- 1 general PM method you took away
- Operable, not abstract. Not "user first", but "features 3 months old below X% usage are default-killable, not default-savable".
### Engagement hook (20-30 words)
Specific question for the reader, not "what do you think?":
"How many 3-month-stagnant features are you guys still nursing?"
## Platform tone
- LinkedIn: slightly professional, PM jargon OK
- Jike: conversational, emoji OK, self-deprecation = authentic
- Twitter: snappy, each line ≤ 1 visual line
- Zhihu: slightly longer, more expert tone
## Must avoid
- Leaking what I marked "cannot disclose"
- Pretending "I knew all along"
- Cliché ("product is a journey")
- Going over 300 wordsOpen directly on your favourite AI

Workflow · 5 steps
- 1
Pick a product decision from this week that genuinely surprised you or made you struggle — not a routine one.
- 2
Write the decision in plain language and explicitly list what you can't disclose so the model respects the boundary.
- 3
Replace the three placeholders and run it.
- 4
On the first draft, edit three things: rewrite the hook in your voice, swap the takeaway for something you actually believe, and replace the engagement question with one you really want answered.
- 5
Read the post out loud: would your coworker say 'that sounds like corporate fluff'? If yes, rewrite.
Verify before you ship
AI's "almost right" is the #1 pain. Tick these off so reviewers can't find the obvious holes. (Checkbox state stays local — we don't track it.)
Why this prompt works
This prompt isn't a generic “write me a Social & Newsletter Posts”. It folds in the concrete context a Product Manager actually faces (target reader, info density, deliverable format). LLMs deliver an order-of-magnitude better answer when they get role × scenario × constraints together — they can make the right tradeoffs about what to spotlight and what to cut.
When to use
Best moment: you know roughly that you need to do a Social & Newsletter Posts, but you're stuck on “how do I even ask the AI?” Muscle memory has no template. Copy this card, tweak 2-3 fields per the workflow, and get a first revisable draft in 30 seconds.
Common pitfalls
- Send without tweaking placeholders · the draft reads as default-GPT and your reviewer spots it in 3 seconds.
- Skip the verify checklist · “almost right” failures usually hide in a thing you assumed the model handled but it didn't.
- Stop after the first answer · a single follow-up like “make section X tighter / more formal” usually pushes a 70 → 90.
Variants & extensions
Want to use this card more aggressively? Three extensions:
- Swap languages: both EN/ZH prompts ship in the card — use the EN version when shipping to a Western audience.
- Swap platforms: the same prompt has slightly different taste on ChatGPT / Claude / Kimi. The recommended-platform pill marks the best fit.
- Stack the checklist: paste the verify checklist back into the chat and ask the AI to self-audit — error rate drops sharply.
