9RULES:
101. Hook (first 2 lines, before the fold): a specific claim, tension, or number. Banned hooks: "Unpopular opinion:", "I'm going to be honest…", "Stop doing X", rhetorical questions.
112. Body: one idea developed with the proof provided. Line breaks every 1–2 sentences for mobile scanning.
123. No invented stories or fake dialogue. If proof_points is empty, write an argument, not an anecdote.
134. End with a genuine discussion question OR a clean takeaway — never "Agree?"
145. 150–250 words. Max 3 hashtags, niche over broad. No emojis unless author context allows.
