Role: you are a conversion copywriter.

Carousel topic: [topic]
What I want the post to achieve: [get saves / get follows / get comments / drive to link]

Task: write 5 different calls to action for the last slide, each designed for one of these readers:

Task: write the text for an Instagram carousel of 5 slides whose purpose is to get people commenting.

Rules:
- Close every slide on an open loop.
- On the last slide, ask a polarizing question that splits the audience into two camps.

[list the 5 topics]

Task: for each topic, write the outline of a 7-slide carousel:
- Slide 1: hook
- Slides 2-6: key points, one sentence each
- Slide 7: call to action

I will write the full copy myself: I only need the skeletons of all 5 carousels.

1. Phase 1 — Connector capability auditCopy

   Role: you are a senior strategist for AI workflows who specializes in turning creator tools into income.
   
   Context: I have just connected Claude to the Canva connector. My business is selling social media visuals to small local businesses.
   
   Goal: link every capability of the connector to a concrete way to earn money, so I know which service to sell first.
   
   Steps:
   1. List every action the connected Canva connector offers, together with the plan it requires (free or paid).
   2. For each action, write a one-line description and one sample prompt I can copy as is.
   3. For each action, name the freelance service it supports and rate its effort-to-revenue ratio as low, medium or high.
   
   Output:
   - A table with the columns: Feature | Plan | Sample prompt | Use case | Effort-to-revenue
   - Below it, the 3 actions with the highest revenue potential, each with a one-sentence reason.
   
   Constraints:
   - No generic filler.
   - Include only features that really exist in the connected connector.
   - Check plan requirements before you state them; if you cannot verify one, mark it as unverified instead of guessing.

2. Phase 2 — Design a post from a briefCopy

   Role: you are a brand strategist and a senior designer for social media.
   
   Brand identity: take the tone, the color palette and the value proposition from [brand link]. If any of these is missing, ask me before you design anything.
   
   Deliverable: one Instagram feed post, 1080 x 1080.
   
   Audience: [target audience]. One single objective, pick only one: [bookings / sign-ups / awareness].
   
   Copy rules:
   - Headline: 7 words or fewer.
   - Supporting line: 12 words or fewer.
   - Exactly one call to action.
   - Everything must be readable on a phone in less than 2 seconds.
   
   Design rules: stay within the brand palette, use at most 2 fonts, keep a clear focal hierarchy and leave safe margins for the feed crop.
   
   Steps:
   1. Summarize the brief in 2 lines and point out any input that is missing.
   2. Suggest 4 clearly different directions: bold-graphic, minimal, photo-led and playful. For each one give a headline and a one-line reason.
   3. Stop and wait until I choose a direction before you create the final design.
   
   Output: first the 4 directions as text; after my choice, render the selected direction in Canva.

3. Phase 3 — Targeted edits with design QACopy

   Role: you are a design QA editor.
   
   Task: make targeted changes to design number [design number], and to no other design.
   
   Changes to apply: [list every change explicitly].
   
   Guardrails:
   - Leave the grid, spacing, alignment and brand colors untouched on every element I have not named.
   - Do not reflow the layout.
   
   Steps:
   1. Find each element I named and apply only the change listed for it.
   2. Check mobile readability: at thumbnail size the headline must be readable in under 2 seconds.
   3. Show a before/after summary of everything you changed.
   
   Output: a confirmation of the changes, plus 3 caption options that fit the final visual. Do not save until I approve.

4. Phase 4 — Reverse-engineer a Canva template before editingCopy

   This is a Canva template I have customized: [template URL]
   
   Before you change anything, take it apart completely and describe:
   - Layout structure: zones, columns and the visual flow
   - Color palette: every color it uses
   - Font hierarchy: heading, subheading and body, with weight and style for each
   - The position of every element
   - The design principles that make this template work
   
   Present the analysis with one labelled section per point above.
   
   Analysis only: do NOT make any changes at this stage.

5. Phase 5 — Export and auto-post pipelineCopy

   Role: you are a social media manager who controls publishing.
   
   Pipeline:
   1. Export the finished design from Canva and send the Canva export domain URLs straight to [auto-posting service]. Do not host the files anywhere else.
   2. Write a separate caption for each network:
      - Instagram: hook first, 5-7 hashtags
      - Facebook: longer and conversational
      - LinkedIn: professional, no hashtag spam
   3. Show me the connected accounts and ask me two things: which of them should receive the post, and whether it goes out immediately or is queued for the next optimal slot.
   
   Hard stop: publish nothing until I have explicitly confirmed both the captions and the accounts.

6. Phase 6 — 7-day Instagram plan by content pillarCopy

   Role: you are a content director.
   
   Input:
   - Business: [business]
   - Niche: [niche]
   - Goal for the next 30 days: [goal]
   
   Task: build an Instagram plan for 7 days.
   
   Use a table with one row per day and these columns, in this order:
   - Day
   - Pillar: pick from educational / social proof / behind-the-scenes / promotional / engagement
   - Format: pick from post / carousel / story / reel cover
   - Working headline
   - Canva visual brief (one line)
   - Main CTA
   
   Balance rules:
   - No more than 2 promotional days.
   - At least 2 educational days.
   - Mix the formats across the week.
   
   Constraint: each visual brief must be detailed enough to paste directly into a single-post design brief without changes.

7. Phase 7 — Schedule a design with per-platform captionsCopy

   Publish this Canva design on [platform] for the account [client account].
   
   Schedule: [day] at [time] [timezone]
   
   Rewrite the caption for each platform:
   - Instagram: conversational tone, 3-5 hashtags, finish with a question
   - Facebook: friendly tone, finish with a question, zero hashtags
   - LinkedIn: tone that is professional and focused on business value, zero hashtags
   
   Starting caption notes: [paste your raw caption notes]
   
   If the platform, account or schedule is missing, ask me before scheduling. Once the post is scheduled, confirm the post title, the platform, the scheduled time and the exact caption that will go live.

8. Phase 8 — Client-ready 7-day Instagram plan with captionsCopy

   Business: [business name], a [business type] based in [location]. Audience: [audience].
   
   Plan seven days of Instagram content for this business.
   
   For every day, give:
   - Theme of the content
   - Objective of the post: awareness, engagement or conversion
   - Headline text of fewer than 8 words
   - Visual direction, covering colors, mood, style and what the image shows
   - Caption copy, 50-100 words, optimized for Instagram
   - Call to action
   
   Follow this content mix exactly:
   - Day 1: an educational tip (builds trust)
   - Day 2: a product or service feature (shows the offer)
   - Day 3: behind the scenes (builds connection)
   - Day 4: a customer testimonial (builds credibility)
   - Day 5: a promotional offer (drives sales)
   - Day 6: a community or local connection (builds belonging)
   - Day 7: an engagement question or poll (drives comments)
   
   Present everything as a table, finished to the point that I can send it to the client for approval without editing anything.

9. Phase 9 — Fix: export domain not in the allow listCopy

   The export is blocked because the Canva export domain is not on the allow list. Do not try to download the file directly; give me the Canva public sharing link for the design instead.

10. Phase 10 — Fix: use an image uploaded to CanvaCopy

    In this design, use the image I uploaded to Canva with the file name [exact file name] for this role: [background / hero image / logo]. If you cannot find a file with that exact name, tell me instead of using a different image.

1. Phase 1 — 10 save-worthy carousel ideasCopy

   Role: you are a strategist who plans content for Instagram.
   
   My niche: [niche]
   My audience: [audience description]
   
   Task: propose 10 carousel ideas that people will actively want to SAVE.
   
   For each idea give:
   1. a carousel title built on a strong hook plus a number
   2. the reason people would save it
   3. how many slides it needs
   
   Keep every topic practical: frameworks, checklists, comparisons, step-by-step guides, collections.
   
   Output: a content plan of 10 carousels, with the save potential of each one explained.

2. Phase 2 — Long post into a carouselCopy

   My long post or article:
   [paste text]
   
   Task: convert it into a carousel of 8–10 slides.
   
   Rules:
   - each slide carries a single key idea
   - 30 words per slide at most
   - slide 1 is the hook
   - the final slide is the call to action
   - add visual directions: where an icon goes, which words to highlight in color, where to use arrows or accents
   
   Output: go slide by slide, giving the slide text first and then its visual directions.

3. Phase 3 — 8-slide HTML carousel designCopy

   Task: build a carousel as one single HTML file.
   
   Specs:
   - slide size: 1080×1350 px (4:5 format)
   - topic: [topic]
   - slides: 8
   - style: [minimal / bold / dark / pastel]
   - color palette: [palette]
   - font: [font name or "modern sans-serif"]
   
   Every slide contains: a large headline, 2–3 lines of text, and an icon or a geometric accent.
   
   Also add soft shadows and a slide number in the corner.
   
   Put everything in the one HTML file, with every slide at the exact size.

4. Phase 4 — 5-carousel series in one visual styleCopy

   Task: create 5 carousels on these topics: [topics]
   
   Deliver all of them together in one HTML file.
   
   The 5 carousels share a single visual identity: the same font, the same color palette, the same position for the numbering and the same headline style.
   
   Leave the first slide (the cover) of every carousel transparent, so I can put my own photo behind it later.

Task: write a post whose main goal is to get people commenting.

It must contain:

   My content: [paste your content]
   
   Task: identify the exact spot where this content loses people, then fix it.

Give me the structure slide by slide. For each slide include:
- a strong headline

Close the carousel with a clear call to action.

The overall feel: premium, polished to the standard of a top creator, and strong enough to stop people mid-scroll.

Topic: [topic].

Design a premium social media post for it. Give me:
1. The layout of the content
2. How the headline is structured
3. The hierarchy of the text
4. The visual direction

The result should look modern and high-end, and be easy for people to want to share.

You are a content designer.

Plan a carousel of 7 slides on [topic].

Deliver:
- The content of each slide, one by one
- Ideas for the hook
- The visual direction
- How to keep the layout consistent from slide to slide

You are a graphic designer.

Design a social media post on [topic] that is built to convert.

Topic: [topic]

Task: write a social media post on this topic.

Follow this structure, in this order:
1. Hook
2. Curiosity line
3. Three short insights
4. Clear takeaway
5. A strong closing line worth sharing

Style: short, punchy sentences.

1. Phase 1 — Slide 1 hook headlinesCopy

   Role: you are a strategist for content that spreads widely.
   
   Topic: [topic]
   
   Task: write 5 headlines for Slide 1 of a carousel, built on pattern-interrupt logic. Angles to use:
   - Hook 1, "Shocking Contrast": the before versus the after.
   - Hook 2, "Negative-Proof": why the strategy the reader uses now is failing.
   - Hook 3, "Hidden Mechanism": the logic nobody talks about.
   - Hook 4, "Status-Threat": why other people are scaling faster than the reader.
   
   Format: a numbered list, each headline labelled with its angle.

2. Phase 2 — 10-slide flow with micro-cliffhangersCopy

   Role: you are a UX copywriter.
   
   Topic: [topic]
   
   Task: map out a carousel of 10 slides on this topic. Build a "Logical-Thread": every slide closes on a small cliffhanger ("Micro-Cliffhanger") that pushes the reader to swipe to the next one.
   
   Make the "Value-Density" reach its highest point on Slide 7, to maximize time spent on the post.

3. Phase 3 — Visual brief and image promptsCopy

   Role: you are a creative director.
   
   Topic: [topic]
   
   Task: I need one coherent aesthetic for a 10-slide carousel on this topic. Write 3 prompts for "Nano Banana 2" that generate either "Brutalist" 3D textures or "Industrial-Minimalist" backgrounds. They must make the text on the slides stand out ("Pop") and give the carousel the feel of a premium digital product.

4. Phase 4 — Cheat-sheet process slidesCopy

   Role: you are a senior technical writer.
   
   Process to explain: [complex process]
   
   Task: split this process into 5 slides of practical, "Cheat-Sheet" style steps. Use "Hierarchical-Formatting" on every slide:
   - 1 bold headline
   - 2 bullet points
   - 1 "Pro-Tip"
   
   Cut every bit of fluff. The result must be so clear that someone could carry out the task only by looking at screenshots of the slides.

5. Phase 5 — Save-worthy summary slideCopy

   Role: you are a conversion specialist.
   
   Topic of the carousel: [topic]
   
   Task: design Slide 9, "The Overview". Condense the whole carousel into one "High-Signal" infographic or checklist.
   
   Then write the caption for this slide; it must include, explicitly, this line: "Save this so you don't have to search for the solution later." This is the "Save-Trigger" logic.

6. Phase 6 — Slide 10 calls to actionCopy

   Role: you are a social psychologist.
   
   Topic of the carousel: [topic]
   
   Task: write 3 calls to action (CTAs) for Slide 10. None of them may ask for a like.
   - CTA 1: a "Binary-Logic" question, Option A versus Option B.
   - CTA 2: a "Hidden-Bonus" offer, for example: Comment "[keyword]" and I'll DM you [the resource].
   - CTA 3: a "Community-Challenge": ask readers to tag a colleague who should hear this message.

Role: you are an editor of visual content.

My carousel draft:
[paste all the slides]

Task: for every slide:
1. Remove each word that does not add meaning.
2. Make sure the main point sits in the first line.
3. Check that the slide is clear when read without the previous one.

Return the optimized version of every slide.
