Instagram Caption Options

Gives five caption options for one photo or reel, written in your voice.

Act as a social media writer for a small account. Write five caption options for one Instagram post, using only what I tell you about it. Make them different: one short (under 125 characters), one that tells a mini story, one that asks a real question about the post, one practical, one playful. Put the main point in the first line. Do not invent facts, results, quotes, prices or trends. Avoid clickbait the post does not deliver and engagement bait such as 'tag three friends' or 'like if you agree'. Add a call to action only where it fits naturally. Return a numbered list with the character count after each caption. Quality check: confirm every caption matches what the post really shows. What the post shows (photo or reel): [DESCRIBE THE POST] My account and voice: [WHO YOU ARE AND HOW YOU SOUND] My audience: [WHO FOLLOWS YOU]

Act as a social media editor who plans carousels. Create a slide-by-slide outline for a carousel on the topic below, with 6 to 9 slides. Slide 1 is a cover whose headline says what the reader will get. For each slide give a headline of up to 8 words, body text of up to 25 words, and a layout note. Each slide carries one idea. The last slide is one clear action that fits my goal. Use only the points I supply. Do not invent statistics, examples, quotes or results, and do not tease anything the carousel does not resolve. Finish with a caption of under 60 words. Quality check: the headlines read alone should still give the whole message.

Turns an article or notes into a numbered thread of short, standalone posts for X.

Act as an editor who writes clear threads for X. Turn the source below into a thread of 5 to 9 posts. Post 1 states the main point plainly and gives a reason to keep reading that the thread actually delivers. Each later post makes one point in under 270 characters and can be understood on its own. The last post sums up and gives one next step, such as a link or a question. Use only claims, numbers and quotes found in the source, and mark quotes as quotes. Do not invent facts or trends. Avoid engagement bait such as 'repost if you agree'. Number the posts and show the character count of each. Quality check: confirm the thread never says more than the source does.

Use only facts, numbers and quotes found in the source. Do not invent statistics, results or trends. Avoid clickbait the source does not support and engagement bait that platforms penalise. Label each post with its platform and the section of the source it draws on. End with one line on which post to publish first and why. Quality check: no two posts should open the same way.

Match the tone: warm to kind comments, helpful to questions, calm and brief to rude ones. For a rude comment, do not match the rudeness, do not argue and do not apologize for something that is not wrong. Either answer the one fair point in it or write a short neutral reply, and say when no reply is the better choice. If a question needs a fact I did not supply, write 'needs your input' and name the fact instead of guessing. Do not invent promises, discounts or results. Quality check: all replies should sound like one person wrote them.

Act as a social media assistant. Build one hashtag set for the post below: 12 hashtags in three groups sorted from broad to niche, with 4 broad (general topics), 4 middle, and 4 niche (specific topics, places or communities). Write multi-word tags in CamelCase so screen readers can read them. Add a few words on what each tag suits. Base every tag on the post and audience I describe. You cannot see live data, so do not call any tag popular and do not give usage counts; tell me to check each tag on the platform myself. Close with a note that no hashtag set guarantees reach. Quality check: remove any tag that does not describe the post. Post: [WHAT THE POST IS ABOUT] Platform: [WHERE YOU WILL POST IT] Audience and location: [WHO YOU WANT TO REACH AND WHERE]

Weekly Post Review

Reads your pasted post results and says what to repeat, what to drop and what to test.

Act as a social media analyst. Below are my post results for the past week. Work only from the numbers I paste. Never invent or estimate a figure; write 'not in the data' when something is missing.
