Prompt
Repurpose the source content below into social posts.
Source type: {{source_type}}
Audience: {{audience}}
Main takeaway I want people to remember: {{takeaway}}

For each platform, write 3 different posts, each built on a different hook type (a surprising detail, a practical tip, a short story or question). Follow native norms: LinkedIn posts of 600-1200 characters with a strong first line and line breaks; X posts under 280 characters (and one thread of up to 5 posts); Instagram captions of 150-400 characters with a suggested visual or carousel idea.
Rules
- Every claim must come from the source. Do not add statistics or outcomes that are not in it.
- Write each post to stand alone; do not simply cut the original into pieces.
- No engagement bait ("comment YES"), no more than {{hashtags}} hashtags per post, no emoji walls.
- Label each post with platform and hook type, and put the link only where it suits the platform.
End with a suggested posting order across one week and one sentence on which post to try first.Variables

Example output
## LinkedIn **1. Surprising detail** We moved one item in our kickoff agenda and the meetings got more honest. Timeline used to come first. Dates went on the board, and then nobody wanted to say what they were unsure about. Now risks and unknowns come first. More concerns get raised in the first 15 minutes, while they are still cheap to deal with. Our 60-minute order: goals, scope limits, risks, roles, timeline, next steps. Full agenda: https://example.com/kickoff-agenda #projectmanagement #agencylife **2. Practical tip** Try this at your next kickoff: swap two agenda items. Put risks and unknowns ahead of the timeline. Ask the room, "What are we unsure about?" before anyone sees a date. The rest of our 60 minutes: goals, scope limits, roles, timeline, next steps. Same meeting, different order. #projectmanagement **3. Story** Most kickoff meetings fail before they start, and the culprit is usually the first slide. When we opened with the timeline, the room went quiet. Nobody feels safe saying "I don't know" next to a deadline. So we gave unknowns their own slot at the start. People spoke up, and we heard more concerns in the first 15 minutes. What does your kickoff open with? https://example.com/kickoff-agenda #agencylife ## X **1. Practical tip (276 chars)** Kickoff agenda tip: put "risks and unknowns" before the timeline. Once dates are on the board, people stop admitting what they are unsure about. Order we use: goals, scope limits, risks, roles, timeline, next steps. **2. Surprising detail** Same kickoff, one change: risks before timeline. We heard more concerns in the first 15 minutes. The unknowns were always there, the agenda just gave them room. **3. Question** When does your kickoff meeting get to "what are we unsure about"? If the answer is "after the timeline", try moving it first. **Thread (5 posts)** 1/ Most kickoff meetings fail because they open with the timeline. 2/ Once dates are on the board, nobody feels safe raising what they do not know. 3/ We moved risks and unknowns to the start of our agenda. 4/ Result: more concerns raised in the first 15 minutes. 5/ Our 60-minute order: goals, scope limits, risks, roles, timeline, next steps. https://example.com/kickoff-agenda ## Posting order Mon LinkedIn #1, Tue X tip, Wed LinkedIn #3, Thu X thread, Fri LinkedIn #2. Try LinkedIn #1 first because its first line carries a clear surprise.
Notes
Asking for different hook types gives you variety instead of three rewordings, and the source-only rule keeps posts honest. Add past top-performing posts to the prompt to mirror what works for your audience.
