Promise

Purpose

Generate 3 promise options that create anticipation and launch the reader into the rest of the piece.

Read ../../references/context-contract.md and resolve available audience context, including optional AUDIENCE.md or a named shared guide. The explicit assignment audience takes precedence; missing audience context does not block the task.

Invocation

  • /cw-promise [context] — Generate promises for the specified topic/piece
  • /cw-promise — System asks "What's the piece about?" then generates options

What Makes a Promise Work

A promise creates anticipation and momentum. It should achieve several of these:

Core Functions

  • Creates appetite — Makes readers hungry for what you're about to reveal
  • Establishes stakes — Shows what's at risk or what's possible
  • Sets expectations — Helps readers know what kind of journey they're on
  • Builds trust — Shows you have something worth their time
  • Generates momentum — Propels them into the rest of the piece

Essential Ingredients (weave in several)

  • Transformation potential — Not just information transfer but actual change
  • Earned authority — Why you're the right guide for this journey
  • Specific enough to trust — Concrete without being constraining
  • Urgency without panic — Why now matters, but not manipulative
  • Emotional resonance — Connect to what readers actually care about
  • Practical value — What they'll be able to do/see/understand differently

Forms It Might Take

  • A glimpse of the destination without giving away the path
  • A confession of what it cost you to learn this
  • A preview of the framework or lens you'll share
  • A question that reframes everything
  • A challenge to conventional thinking
  • An invitation into discovery
  • A map of the territory ahead
  • A "what if" that opens possibility

Quality Checks

  • Does it make you want to keep reading?
  • Is it honest about what's coming?
  • Does it feel like an invitation rather than a sales pitch?
  • Would you feel satisfied if the piece delivered on this?
  • Does it match the energy and tone of what follows?

How to Generate

  1. Analyze the content — What's the payoff? What will the reader gain?
  1. Select 3 approaches that fit. Consider:
  • What would make the reader lean in?
  • What's the honest value proposition of this piece?
  • What transformation is possible?
  1. Generate one promise per approach — Each should be 1-3 sentences.
  1. Present all three with a brief note on the approach.

Output Format

## Promise Options

### Option 1: [Brief description of approach]
[1-3 sentence promise]

### Option 2: [Brief description of approach]
[1-3 sentence promise]

### Option 3: [Brief description of approach]
[1-3 sentence promise]

Which creates the right anticipation? Or want me to try something different?

What to Avoid

  • Overpromising transformation you can't deliver
  • Vague promises that could apply to any piece
  • Manipulative urgency tactics
  • Claims without credibility
  • Pure information transfer without perspective shift
