Draft a long document

Open a note for your report or brief and work through it with Anara section by section: ask for a draft, push back, refine, move on. Your library stays in scope throughout, so a citation you need in section three is still there in section fourteen. Use it for long structured documents you produce on a recurring schedule.

Prompt

A government legal professional drafts a seven-section cabinet submission on telecommunications regulation.

I'm drafting a cabinet submission on proposed amendments to the Telecommunications Act. The document has seven sections: Executive Summary, Background and Context, Legal Framework, Stakeholder Positions, Risks and Mitigations, Recommendations, and Next Steps. I have a library of prior submissions, the current Act, and consultation responses uploaded.

Start with the Executive Summary. Keep it to 300 words, Westminster policy-brief tone, no bullet points, written for a minister who has thirty seconds. The key message is that the proposed amendments close a consumer protection gap without expanding the regulator's mandate. Draft it, then wait for my feedback before moving to the next section.

What to add to your library

• Required: a note open for the document you are drafting.
• Required: the document structure: section headings, length targets, audience, tone.
• Optional: prior examples of the same document type, such as last year's version or a peer's submission, so Anara matches house style.
• Optional: the source materials the document draws on, such as consultation responses or reference legislation, for citations as you draft.

What you get

• One section draft at a time, each respecting the structure you defined.
• Citations pulled from your library where relevant.
• A consistent voice across sections, so the document reads as one piece rather than assembled parts.

Follow-ups

Push back on a draft.

The executive summary leans too hard on the regulatory gap framing and doesn't emphasise the consumer protection angle enough. Rewrite it so consumer protection is the lead, and keep the regulatory gap as the mechanism rather than the headline.

Ground the full draft before export.

Go through the full draft we've built and flag any claim that needs a citation I haven't provided. For each one, search my library and suggest the best supporting source. Where the library doesn't cover it, tell me what I need to find.

Tips

• State the structure upfront. Sections with defined lengths, audience, and tone produce a coherent draft.
• Name the document type, such as cabinet submission or patient assessment, so Anara matches the conventions your readers expect.
• Go section by section. You catch a wrong framing before it propagates through the document.
• Correct the draft where it misses your reader's habits. Anara carries the correction forward.
