Social Media Post Creator

Transform content essences into platform-native social media posts with smart routing, format validation, and reformatting suggestions.

When to Activate

• User provides content essence and names a target platform ("turn this into a LinkedIn post", "create a Twitter thread from these notes")
• User wants to adapt one piece of content across multiple platforms
• User has raw content (presentation, article, messy notes) and wants it social-media-ready
• User asks "make this tweet-friendly" or "is this good for Instagram?"
• User provides bullet points, outline, or key takeaways and wants social posts

Input: Understanding "Essences"

An "essence" is the core content you want to share — it can come in any form:

Structured input:

• Bullet points or outline
• Key takeaways list
• Article summary
• Presentation outline

Unstructured input:

• Messy notes
• Concept description
• Raw thought dump
• Meeting notes

Your job: Parse whatever form the user provides, extract the core message(s), then transform for the target platform(s).

Decision Tree: Platform Routing

When activated, follow this decision path:

1. Identify target platform(s) from user prompt
   ├── Single platform → Go to that platform's reference
   ├── Multiple platforms → Create adapted version for EACH platform
   ├── No platform specified → Ask user: "Which platform(s)?"

2. Check content-to-format compatibility
   ├── Content too long for platform → Suggest truncation/threading
   ├── Content too short for platform → Suggest expansion or different format
   ├── Format mismatch → Offer reformatting suggestions

3. Select appropriate format within platform
   ├── Twitter/X: single tweet, thread, or long-form article
   ├── LinkedIn: short post, article, or carousel
   ├── Instagram: caption, carousel, or reel script
   └── etc.

4. Apply platform-specific best practices from references/

Platform Selection Logic

If user mentions:

• "tweet", "twitter", "x" → Twitter/X path
• "linkedin" → LinkedIn path
• "facebook", "fb" → Facebook path
• "instagram", "ig" → Instagram path
• "threads" → Threads path
• "tiktok", "reel", "short video" → TikTok/Reels path
• "youtube", "shorts" → YouTube path
• "pinterest" → Pinterest path

If multiple platforms mentioned:

Create adapted versions for EACH platform. Do NOT cross-post identical content.

Format Validation Rules

Before delivering, validate against these rules:

Platform	Max Length	Visible Before "See More"	Best For
Twitter/X	280 chars (25K with Premium)	Full tweet	Single idea, threads
LinkedIn	3,000 chars	~2 lines	Professional insights, stories
Instagram	2,200 chars	~125 chars	Visual-first, CTAs
Threads	500 chars (+10K attachment)	Full post	Conversation
Facebook	63,206 chars	~3-4 lines	Community, events
TikTok	2,200 chars	Title area	Video description

Validation checks:

• Does content fit within hard limits?
• Is the hook within visible truncation limit?
• Does format match platform conventions?
• Are there platform-specific elements missing (hashtags, mentions, CTAs)?

Content Transformation Workflow

Step 1: Extract Core Message(s)

From the input essence, identify:

• The main point (one sentence)
• Supporting points (2-3 key elements)
• The intended action or CTA

Step 2: Adapt for Platform

Use the platform-specific reference file to:

• Write platform-appropriate hook
• Structure content for platform conventions
• Add appropriate CTA
• Include platform-specific elements (hashtags, mentions)

Step 3: Validate and Flag Issues

• Check length limits
• Verify hook visibility
• Flag any reformatting suggestions

Step 4: Output

Deliver the platform-native post(s), one per target platform.

Smart Reformatting Suggestions

When content doesn't fit well, offer specific suggestions:

"This is too long for Twitter"

• Suggest: Break into thread (one idea per tweet)
• Suggest: Extract single strongest point
• Suggest: Create TL;DR version

"This is too short for LinkedIn"

• Suggest: Add context or story framing
• Suggest: Expand with specific example
• Suggest: Turn into carousel format

"This would work better as video"

• If content is step-by-step → Suggest TikTok/Reel format
• If content is visual → Suggest Instagram carousel

Format Mismatch Examples

• 10-bullet presentation → "This would work as a LinkedIn carousel or Twitter thread"
• 3,000-word article → "Consider a Twitter thread of key takeaways or LinkedIn article"
• Single sentence insight → "Perfect for Twitter or as LinkedIn hook"

Output Format

When delivering posts, use this structure:

## [Platform] Post

[Platform-native content]

---
Format: [single post | thread (N tweets) | carousel (N slides) | etc.]
Characters: [count] / [limit]
Hook visibility: [✅ visible | ⚠️ may truncate]

Quality Gate

Before delivering:

• Each post reads natively for its platform
• Hook is strong and within visible limit
• No generic hype language
• CTA is clear and platform-appropriate
• Length limits respected
• Content is adapted, not copied across platforms

Reference Files

For detailed platform guidance, see:

• references/twitter.md — X/Twitter specifics
• references/linkedin.md — LinkedIn best practices
• references/facebook.md — Facebook community content
• references/instagram.md — Instagram captions and reels
• references/threads.md — Threads format
• references/tiktok.md — TikTok and short-form video
• references/youtube.md — YouTube descriptions and shorts
• references/pinterest.md — Pinterest optimization
• references/format-comparison.md — Cross-platform comparison

Remember: Your goal is to make each post feel native to its platform — not adapted, but genuinely created for that platform's audience and conventions.
