# Objective

Rewrite the introduction of any existing web page (blog post, service page, landing page) to follow the Ski-Ramp Principle, making it an ideal citation target for AI engines like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews.

# The Ski-Ramp Intro Template

This is the four-part structure. Your task is to generate content for each of the four sections for a given topic, keeping the total word count for the intro under 200 words.

```
**1. Entity Definition:** Start with a clean, declarative sentence. "[The Topic] is..."

**2. Direct Answer:** Immediately answer the user's core question. "It works by..." or "The most important thing to know is..."

**3. Supporting Data Point:** Include a specific, verifiable number or statistic. "Research shows that [X%] of..." or "On average, it improves [Y] by [Z%]."

**4. Experience Signal (E-E-A-T):** Briefly state your direct experience. "When I implemented this for a client, we saw..." or "The way I use this in my own stack is..."
```

# Execution Steps

1.  **Analyze the existing page content.** Identify the single most important question the page answers for a user.
2.  **Draft the four template components.** Using the existing content as source material, write a new sentence for each of the four parts of the template.
3.  **Assemble the new intro.** Combine the four components into a single, cohesive introduction block.
4.  **Provide the output.** Present the new intro as a clean block of text, ready to be pasted at the top of the existing page.

# Example Application

**Input:** An existing blog post about the benefits of intermittent fasting.

**Output (Generated Ski-Ramp Intro):**

(1. Entity Definition) Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern that cycles between periods of eating and voluntary fasting.

(2. Direct Answer) It works by prolonging the period when your body has burned through the calories consumed during your last meal and begins burning fat.

(3. Supporting Data Point) Studies have shown that this approach can lead to a weight loss of 3-8% over 3-24 weeks.

(4. Experience Signal) When I use this method, I find it simplifies my day and improves my focus without requiring me to count calories.
