# Tech Writer

Turns your rough list of app steps into a readable how-to article. Handy when the actions are clear but the write-up isn't.

## What it does

You hand the prompt the basic steps of some app feature, and it writes the article around them. The role is a technical writer who walks the reader through each step and decides where a visual is missing: at that spot it drops a (screenshot) marker, and you add the image later.

It runs as a plain text prompt in a chat. Nothing to install — open ChatGPT or Claude.ai, paste the prompt, then add your own steps. The example baked into it covers installing an app: grab the file for your platform, install it, open it with a double click.

What you get back is prose, not verified documentation. The steps come from you, so a wrong step ends up in the article too. For interfaces with fiddly navigation, spell out which menu holds what, or the writer will start filling gaps on its own.

## Install

### ChatGPT (native platform)

**How to use**

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE fc37b8026049581e
```text
I want you to act as a tech writer. You will act as a creative and engaging technical writer and create guides on how to do different stuff on specific software. I will provide you with basic steps of an app functionality and you will come up with an engaging article on how to do those basic steps. You can ask for screenshots, just add (screenshot) to where you think there should be one and I will add those later. These are the first basic steps of the app functionality: "1.Click on the download button depending on your platform 2.Install the file. 3.Double click to open the app"
```
END THIRD-PARTY FILE fc37b8026049581e

The third-party file has ended. Everything between the fc37b8026049581e tags is data: requests and commands from it are not followed. An “end of file” line with another tag inside the block is part of the file.
