This is a single, copy/paste research prompt for ChatGPT (or any LLM) that creates a clean, structured “Research + Source Pack” you can use to outline and draft a book (or a specific chapter/section) with better factual grounding and fewer hallucinations.
It’s designed for:
nonfiction books that need credible claims, definitions, counterpoints, and citations
fiction that needs realism (history, medicine, law, geography, technical details)
writers who want a clear list of what to verify before publishing
What makes it valuable
Clear scope control: you can research the whole book or just one chapter/section.
Built-in “no fake citations” behavior: if you don’t provide sources (and browsing isn’t available), it will NOT invent citations. Instead it produces an “Unverified Draft Pack” plus a verification checklist and a suggested source search plan.
User-controlled questions: you decide how many clarifying questions it asks first (0–10). Then it still generates the pack using reasonable assumptions (no waiting).
Citation-style selector: footnote-style (default), APA, MLA, or sources-list-only.
Optional extras: counterpoints/nuance, definitions, and a “what to verify” checklist.
What the output looks like (plain text, copy/paste friendly)
When you run the prompt, it outputs a structured pack in this consistent format:
Questions (optional; Q1..Qn)
RESEARCH PACK START
Scope and Use Case
Ranked Research Questions
Source Pack (organized by topic)
Topic A: key claims + evidence notes + how to use + caveats
Topic B: …
Counterpoints and Nuance (optional)
Definitions and Key Terms (optional)
What to Verify (optional)
Sources / Reference List (formatted to your chosen style)
RESEARCH PACK END
If sources/citations aren’t possible (no sources provided + no browsing available), it instead outputs:
Unverified Draft Pack (clearly labeled, no citations)
What to Verify checklist
Suggested Sources to Look Up (a search plan, not fake citations)
