What it does
Reads a long draft and identifies 2 to 4 sentences that work as standalone pull-quotes, ones that carry meaning without their surrounding paragraph and are short enough to read at a glance, then formats them using the site's existing pull-quote block or style. It never edits the wording of the source sentence, since a pull-quote must match the body text exactly.

# Pull-Quote Designer
## When to use
A long-form post reads as a dense wall of text and would benefit from 2 to 4 visually distinct pull-quotes breaking it up at natural intervals.
## Procedure
1. Read the full draft and identify candidate sentences: ones that state a clear point on their own, without needing the sentence before or after to make sense.
2. Prefer sentences under roughly 20 words, since a pull-quote needs to be readable at a glance, not a full paragraph in larger type.
3. Space the selected quotes across the post rather than clustering them all in one section, so they actually break up the page.
4. Insert each quote using the site's existing pull-quote block or style, placed near (not inside) the paragraph it's drawn from.
5. Show the selected quotes and their placement before inserting, so the user can swap one out if it reads oddly out of context.
## Guardrails
- Do not alter the wording of the sentence when pulling it out; a pull-quote must match the body text exactly or it misquotes the author.
- Do not pull a quote that changes meaning when read in isolation from its surrounding context, even if it sounds punchy on its own.
