Editorial Policy
Editorial Policy
Section titled “Editorial Policy”AI Prompt Gear is designed as a reference site. That means editorial work is expected to support long-term understanding, comparison, and decision framing rather than fast publishing volume.
Search quality floor
Section titled “Search quality floor”Every substantive page should be able to stand on its own for a defined professional reader. The page should not exist only because a phrase appears to have search volume.
Before a new page is published or an existing page is substantially refreshed, it should pass these checks:
- The reader and decision are clear.
- The title and description accurately summarize the page.
- The page provides analysis, tradeoffs, or implementation guidance beyond a summary of public announcements.
- Internal links help the reader continue the task instead of forcing a crawl path.
- Structured data describes the actual page topic and visible content.
- The page can be reviewed later when pricing, product behavior, or operating assumptions change.
Editorial standards
Section titled “Editorial standards”Pages are intended to:
- Start from a real team problem or decision.
- Explain tradeoffs rather than only listing features.
- Distinguish clearly between operator guidance, tooling choices, and model decisions.
- Be revisited when material assumptions change.
Pages should be revised, merged, or removed from promotion when they become thin, duplicative, stale, misleading, or primarily search-engine-first.
- Give enough detail for a product, engineering, support, security, or operations reader to act, reject, or escalate a decision.
- Avoid broad AI enthusiasm unless it is tied to workflow economics, governance, evaluation, implementation risk, or measurable user value.
- Connect model, tool, prompt, and workflow claims to the operating boundary where they actually matter.
Publication floor
Section titled “Publication floor”A page should not be published only because an AI term is popular. Before a page becomes part of the reference system, it should answer:
- Which reader owns the decision?
- What expensive confusion, risk, or buying mistake does the page prevent?
- What implementation detail, cost boundary, eval rule, or governance control makes the answer usable?
- What should the reader do next if they are moving from research to rollout?
- Which assumptions must be reviewed when models, prices, APIs, or product behavior change?
Pages that only summarize trends, repeat vendor language, or create near-duplicate topic variants should be expanded, merged, or deprioritized.
Source approach
Section titled “Source approach”Coverage may draw on public documentation, product information, industry materials, operating patterns, and structured comparison work. When a page depends on changing product behavior or pricing-sensitive claims, it should be treated as reviewable rather than permanent.
News-sensitive AI pages are expected to move quickly from announcement summary into implementation consequence: rollout boundary, cost model, governance impact, evaluation need, or workflow design. If that durable decision layer is missing, the topic should not become a permanent reference page.
AI assistance and editorial responsibility
Section titled “AI assistance and editorial responsibility”AI assistance may be used for outlining, drafting, and auditing, but the reason for publishing must remain reader value. A page still needs original synthesis, clear tradeoffs, useful internal links, and a decision model that a serious practitioner would recognize as practical.
Titles, summaries, and structured data
Section titled “Titles, summaries, and structured data”Titles, descriptions, headings, and structured metadata should describe the same visible page. A page should not imply current pricing, benchmark certainty, product endorsement, or rich-result eligibility unless the body content supports that claim. Internal links should help readers continue a coherent implementation path rather than simply increase link count.
Corrections and updates
Section titled “Corrections and updates”If a page appears inaccurate, outdated, or misleading, a correction request can be submitted through the contact channel. Important reference pages may be revised as tools, workflows, and provider capabilities change.
Commercial separation
Section titled “Commercial separation”Future advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate relationships are intended to remain separate from editorial judgment. Commercial arrangements should not silently control how pages are researched, compared, or updated.
