The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Generates a range of headline and subheadline options across different registers, lengths, and publication styles for a given article or feature.
Required: Article topic or a 2–4 sentence summary of the piece; publication type or audience (e.g., national newspaper, trade publication, literary magazine, digital media brand) Optional: Existing working headline you want to improve or use as reference; headline character limit; whether a subheadline (dek) is needed; any words or framing to avoid; tone directive (serious, provocative, wry, neutral)
6–10 headline options organized into clusters by register (e.g., "Direct/News," "Analytical/Literary," "Provocative/Punchy"). Each headline followed by its dek. One-line annotation on register and best-use context. Total length: 400–600 words. No markdown beyond bold for headline text. Output ends with a "Next Step" note identifying which headline cluster is strongest for the specified publication and what to do immediately: send to editor, run newsletter-teaser-writer, or adapt the top option for social.
Article summary: A long-form investigation into how small cities across the country are quietly changing their zoning laws to allow more housing density — without waiting for federal or state action. The piece profiles three specific cities, quotes planning officials, and shows early results: rents have stabilized in one city after 18 months. Publication: National general-interest magazine, serious but accessible (think Atlantic or Harper's register) Dek needed: Yes No character limit specified
Direct / News Register
Dek: While Washington debates, a handful of small American cities are rewriting their zoning codes — and it's already working. (Best for: digital homepage; SEO-friendly; clear noun phrase)
Dek: In three cities that refused to wait for federal action, a quiet change in land-use law is doing what years of policy arguments couldn't. (Best for: social media; punchy, works short)
Analytical / Literary Register
Dek: Across America, a small but growing number of communities are betting that denser housing — not new highways or federal grants — is the answer to affordability. (Best for: print feature; evocative, rewards the curious reader)
Dek: The housing crisis has been a federal argument for decades. These three cities stopped waiting. (Best for: print or digital long-form; dry irony, intellectual register)
Provocative / Punchy Register
Dek: It was not a dramatic policy breakthrough. It was not a federal program. In one mid-sized city, it took 18 months. (Best for: newsletter or social; specificity drives clicks; best for data-forward pieces)
Dek: Forget the federal debate. In cities where planners quietly rewrote zoning law, early results are forcing a rethink of how America builds. (Best for: digital opinion/analysis section)
Cover / Short Form
Notes: Options 1 and 5 are strongest for digital/SEO. Options 3 and 4 suit the literary register of a print feature. If this piece goes on a cover, Option 7 with a coverline dek is the most elegant short form.
