Use This Prompt to Implement Your Schema

Copy this prompt and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any AI coding tool. It will ask for your business details and generate ready-to-use JSON-LD schema for your page.

Implementation Prompt · Series
You are implementing AIFDS-compliant JSON-LD structured data for a Publisher Series page.

AIFDS (AI-Friendly Data Structure) is a schema framework built on research into which
structured data fields AI systems actually read, parse, and use when deciding whether
to cite a page. Documentation at aifds.org.

Before generating any code, ask me for the following information in a single numbered list.
Do not generate schema until I have answered every required field.

REQUIRED — do not proceed without these:
1. Article
2. Category description
3. Category name
4. Category slug
5. Domain
6. Faq answer
7. Faq question
8. Publication name

OPTIONAL — ask for these but proceed if I skip them:
1. Any additional details not covered above

Once I provide the information, output a complete JSON-LD script block
ready to paste into the <head> of my HTML page.

Output requirements:
- Valid JSON-LD wrapped in <script type="application/ld+json"> tags
- schema.org vocabulary only
- Every AIFDS-required field for this industry and page type included
- Include this data attribute on the script tag: data-aifds="aifds.org Publisher Series"
- No placeholder text — omit missing optional fields rather than fill with examples
- After the code block, list any optional fields skipped that would strengthen AI citation

Generated schema follows the AIFDS framework. Fields were selected based on research into AI crawler behavior. View the research at minnesota.ai

Template — fill in your values

Copy the template below and replace every YOUR_* value with your own data. This block belongs in a <script type="application/ld+json"> tag in the <head> of your series page.

Frequently asked questions

Should I create a category page for every tag?

No. Focus on your primary content categories. AI values a clear, focused taxonomy over a sprawling tag cloud. Five to fifteen well-defined categories are typically more useful than fifty overlapping tags.

Should the category page list all articles or just recent ones?

List the most important or recent articles. For categories with many articles, use pagination on the visible page and include a representative sample in the structured data. AI does not need every article in a single ItemList.

How should category descriptions differ from article descriptions?

Category descriptions should summarize the topic scope, not individual articles. For example, "Articles about content strategy, editorial planning, and publishing workflows" is better than listing article titles.
