Structure a How-To Guide from Scratch

You know the task but staring at a blank page never helps. This lays out a full how-to guide: a one-line goal, a prerequisites checklist, numbered steps with sub-steps, tip and warning callouts, a troubleshooting FAQ and success criteria. Tell it the task, the reader's skill level and the tool, and you get a skeleton ready to fill.

Plan a complete how-to guide for the task: {TASK_TITLE}. The reader is {READER_LEVEL} in skill level and will use {TOOL_OR_PLATFORM} to complete the task.

Generate a full guide structure including: a goal statement (one sentence), a prerequisites checklist, numbered steps with sub-steps where needed, callout boxes for tips and warnings, a troubleshooting FAQ with at least three entries, and a success criteria section so readers know they're done.

For each step, provide the action verb first, then the object, then the context. Never bury the action. Keep the tone direct and confident. Estimate the time each major phase takes. After the structure, briefly explain your decisions so the author can adapt the pattern to future guides.
