# Generate a structured, type-specific article outline

`GET /v3/generate-article/generate-outline/`

Generates the structured outline for an article (listicle/guide/comparison/review/news) from a title + keywords + optional prompt insights and competitor URLs. The outline MUST be produced by this tool — its shape is type-specific and strict. Returns `{ outline, auto_selections, competitive_analysis, optimization_scope }`. To create an article from it, pass the WHOLE returned object as `articleOutline.generateOutlineResponse` to `create_article` (or just use the one-shot `generate_article`).
