I do something similar; I used to use a nearly full David Allen Natural
Planning but now have simplified it and use the “As <personal role>, I want
<goal> so <reason>” Mad-Libs style.
I have the following as my Project capture:
("P" "Proposed Project"
entry (file "~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/refile.org")
"* PROPOSED %?\n%U\n** Project Definition\n%U\n- Summary\n + As <personal
role>, I want <goal> so <reason>\n- Completion Criteria (Don't do too
much)\n + \n"
:clock-in t :clock-resume t)
The key point is that you can put “\n” into the string for new lines, and
spaces after the “\n” for indentation.
