Lack of documentation and request for assistance

OUTLINE macro

• The %scraped_article% macro refers to one url and loads in the scraped content for only 1 page.

• %keyword_title% refers to the current article keyword and returns it in title case.

• OUTLINE is a special tag used by SCM, it acts like a for-loop. Each h2/h3 sub section runs the prompt inside this outline tag.
  

• This explains the %outline_h2%, %outline_h3% tags, and these come from the %AI_OUTLINE% prompt.
  

In plain english.

1. SCM asks AI to create an outline with H2 and H3 tags. This is the %ai_outline% macro.
2. For each H3 generated by AI, send it to the prompt inside the <OUTLINE> tag.

IE, ask AI to create an html outline for your article keyword. Then send each part of that outline to the AI to write content for that section.

We do this because most AI models only return 400 words of content, so to get long articles we send it multiple prompts.

%ai_outline% is expecting this:

Instead of AI generated h2/h3 outline we can actually create our own one. In this example, we using scraped titles and sub headings.

Use of AI Context

• Any templates with context in it, just pastes in the last output from the AI.

Generic prompt

Prompt with context

They are exactly the same prompts, but the only difference is that the last output from the AI model is included.

We do this to help the AI remember what it wrote, so it doesn’t repeat itself.

Think of it as prepping the model with a memory and background.

Resetting the AI

• “Disregard previous instructions” is just a prompt instruction to tell the AI model to ‘forget everything it knows’
• It may not actually be needed, but just something I copied from some prompt examples online.
• Its the idea that if you tell it to write html in one prompt, then tell it to respond to a new prompt it will remember you like html, and give you the 2nd answer with html in it. Even though technically you didn’t explicitly ask for it in the 2nd prompt.

SCM macros

In the article creator you have a bunch of global macros eg %keyword%, %keyword_title%

Global means they can be used anywhere.

eg inside inserts, Title insert

Add current article %keyword% to all titles

The entire list of macros is shown at the bottom

There are AI only macros

The list is split into 2

Macro

Scraped

Then we have the only special tag and macro combination

<outline> and %ai_outline%

Which is explained more here

Create long form articles with 5000+ words using the AI Outline template

Most AI models will only create responses to articles of around 400 words. AI models are generally not trained to create very lengthy responses. If you copy and paste the same prompt multiple times to increase the word count, you will find the AI repeating itself. You can craft a special prompts with article subsections, intro body etc, however this doesn’t scale with different keywords. Getting an AI model to write a coherent long form article with 5000 or more words requires a different pr…

Let me know if any of the above needs more clarification.

In fairness you picked up on the most complicated macros inside SCM that have to do with the OUTLINE feature.
