How the Prompt Is Structured
Four Formats, One Source
Short posts, hooks, carousel/thread, and video idea. Covers the full spread of social content formats from one piece of source material.
"Do Not Copy Long Chunks"
Repurposing is translation, not excerpting. The constraint forces the model to rewrite for social rather than just pulling paragraphs verbatim.
Focus on Takeaways
Social posts that land are takeaways, not summaries. Naming "useful takeaways" in the constraints keeps the output actionable.
Visual Format Suggestion
The video or carousel idea gets production planning started. Even if you don't execute it, you know what the source material could become.
