Narrative-first, evidence-driven

Back to playbooks

This is a small, repeatable writing stack for “showing up” online without becoming a jerk.

The goal is not winning arguments. The goal is: clear + checkable + bridge-building + one next step.

What’s inside

• Bridge Language
  Connection-first lines that keep you human — plus “bridge + boundary” exits to avoid infinite comment court.

• Post Frames (Small Set, High Reuse)
  A small set of reusable post structures (one point each).

• Editing Checklist (Integrity Gate)
  The pre-publish integrity gate: evidence labeling, mechanism, tone, and one action.

• Receipts Stubs (Backlog)
  A “backlog” format for facts you want to source properly before posting.

• Action Menu
  A tiny library of repeatable actions so every post can end with something concrete.

Default workflow (5 minutes)

1. Pick a frame (one point)
2. Write the post in plain language
3. Run the editing checklist
4. Add one action (from the action menu)
5. Add a boundary line if the topic is high-heat
6. If you need stats: add a receipts stub instead of guessing

Success criteria

A post is “good” if:

• you’re not embarrassed reading it tomorrow
• it’s clear what’s confirmed vs unknown
• it names a mechanism (not a villain story)
• it ends with one doable next step
