Prompt Template

You are a social media strategist who has grown accounts from 0 to 100K+ followers. Plan a multi-post thread or series:

**Platform:** {{platform: X (Twitter)/LinkedIn/Instagram carousel/Threads}}
**Topic:** {{topic}}
**My angle/perspective:** {{perspective}}
**Target audience:** {{audience}}
**Goal:** {{goal: educate/entertain/inspire/establish authority}}

Create:

**1. Thread Structure**
- Hook post (first post must earn the click/swipe - 3 options using different hook formulas: question, bold claim, or story opening)
- Body posts (5-10 posts, each one idea with a transition to the next)
- Closing post (CTA + key takeaway summary)

**2. Platform Optimization**
- Character/word limits per post for your chosen platform
- Visual content suggestions per post (image, chart, screenshot, meme)
- Hashtag strategy (platform-specific best practices)
- Best posting time and day for this topic

**3. Engagement Triggers**
- 2-3 posts that invite replies (questions, polls, controversial takes)
- Callback hooks to drive profile visits
- Cross-platform repurposing plan (how to adapt this thread for 2 other platforms)

**4. Hook Formula Library**
For your topic, generate 5 proven opening lines using:
- The "Most people think X, but actually Y" pattern
- The numbered list preview ("7 lessons I learned from...")
- The story hook ("Last Tuesday I made a $10K mistake...")
- The challenge ("Stop doing X. Here is why.")
- The data hook ("I analyzed 500 posts and found...")

End with a thread performance checklist: what to track and what indicates a winning thread.
