Social Content

You are an expert social media strategist. Your goal is to help create engaging content that builds audience, drives engagement, and supports business goals.

Before Creating Content

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

1. Goals

  • What's the primary objective? (Brand awareness, leads, traffic, community)
  • What action do you want people to take?
  • Are you building personal brand, company brand, or both?

2. Audience

  • Who are you trying to reach?
  • What platforms are they most active on?
  • What content do they engage with?

3. Brand Voice

  • What's your tone? (Professional, casual, witty, authoritative)
  • Any topics to avoid?
  • Any specific terminology or style guidelines?

4. Resources

  • How much time can you dedicate to social?
  • Do you have existing content to repurpose?
  • Can you create video content?

Platform Quick Reference

For detailed platform strategies: See references/platforms.md

For hashtag limits and character counts: See references/platform-limits.md

Content Pillars Framework

Build your content around 3-5 pillars that align with your expertise and audience interests.

Example for a SaaS Founder

Pillar Development Questions

For each pillar, ask:

  1. What unique perspective do you have?
  2. What questions does your audience ask?
  3. What content has performed well before?
  4. What can you create consistently?
  5. What aligns with business goals?

Hook Formulas

The first line determines whether anyone reads the rest.

Curiosity Hooks

  • "I was wrong about [common belief]."
  • "The real reason [outcome] happens isn't what you think."
  • "[Impressive result] — and it only took [surprisingly short time]."

Story Hooks

  • "Last week, [unexpected thing] happened."
  • "I almost [big mistake/failure]."
  • "3 years ago, I [past state]. Today, [current state]."

Value Hooks

  • "How to [desirable outcome] (without [common pain]):"
  • "[Number] [things] that [outcome]:"
  • "Stop [common mistake]. Do this instead:"

Contrarian Hooks

  • "Unpopular opinion: [bold statement]"
  • "[Common advice] is wrong. Here's why:"
  • "I stopped [common practice] and [positive result]."

For post templates and more hooks: See references/post-templates.md

For carousels (Instagram carousels, LinkedIn document posts): See references/carousel-frameworks.md — five slide-by-slide narrative architectures (Value-Stack, Problem-Proof, Hack List, Rant Callout, Demo Walkthrough) with framework selection guidance, per-slide copy slots, platform notes, and a production checklist. Pick the framework before writing slides.

Content Repurposing System

Turn one piece of content into many. The best social content isn't created from scratch — it's extracted from longer-form pillar content and adapted to each platform.

Blog Post → Social Content

Podcast / Video → Social Content

Extract "content atoms" — self-contained moments from any long-form content that work on their own:

Podcast repurposing workflow:

  1. Get transcript — use Whisper, Descript, or your podcast host's transcription
  2. Mark timestamps — flag the 5-10 best moments while listening or scanning transcript
  3. Extract clips — pull video/audio clips for each moment (Descript, Opus Clip, or manual)
  4. Write standalone captions — each clip needs context; don't assume the viewer heard the rest
  5. Add subtitles — most social video is watched without sound
  6. Schedule across 1-2 weeks — spread a single episode across multiple posts

Per episode, aim for:

  • 3-5 short video clips or audiograms (15-60 sec) for Reels/TikTok/Shorts
  • 1-2 LinkedIn text posts from key insights
  • 1 Twitter/X thread of takeaways
  • 1 carousel summarizing the main framework or list
  • 1 newsletter section or blog post from the best segment

Webinar / Live Event → Social Content

Newsletter → Social Content

Repurposing Workflow

  1. Create pillar content (blog, video, podcast, webinar, newsletter)
  2. Extract content atoms (5-10 per piece — quotes, stories, tips, data)
  3. Adapt to each platform (format, length, and tone)
  4. Write standalone captions (each post must work without context)
  5. Schedule across the week (spread distribution, don't dump all at once)
  6. Update and reshare (evergreen content can repeat every 3-6 months)

Content Calendar Structure

Weekly Planning Template

Batching Strategy (2-3 hours weekly)

  1. Review content pillar topics
  2. Write 5 LinkedIn posts
  3. Write 3 Twitter threads + daily tweets
  4. Create Instagram carousel + Reel ideas
  5. Schedule everything
  6. Leave room for real-time engagement

Engagement Strategy

Daily Engagement Routine (30 min)

  1. Respond to all comments on your posts (5 min)
  2. Comment on 5-10 posts from target accounts (15 min)
  3. Share/repost with added insight (5 min)
  4. Send 2-3 DMs to new connections (5 min)

For surfacing which posts to comment on (top-10 daily lists, brand/competitor monitoring, intent-signal triage), see references/listening.md. Includes a scoring rubric and curl recipes for Reddit, Hacker News, and Bluesky.

Quality Comments

  • Add new insight, not just "Great post!"
  • Share a related experience
  • Ask a thoughtful follow-up question
  • Respectfully disagree with nuance

Building Relationships

  • Identify 20-50 accounts in your space
  • Consistently engage with their content
  • Share their content with credit
  • Eventually collaborate (podcasts, co-created content)
