Role: you are a strategist focused on viral growth. My niche: [your niche] Task: analyze this niche and identify the 10 pain points with the most tension that my audience is feeling right now. Number them from 1 to 10.
Here are the 10 pain points: [paste the 10 pain points] Task: for each pain point, write 3 bold hooks that interrupt the usual scrolling pattern. Rules: - 80 characters maximum per hook - no clickbait: rely on curiosity gaps instead Number the hooks (1 to 30) so I can refer to them later.
Hook to use: [hook number and text] Task: turn this hook into a script for a 60-second short-form video, structured with the Problem-Agitate-Solve framework. Rule: every sentence stays under 10 words, so the pacing feels fast.
Script: [paste the script] Task: create a list of b-roll shots in sequence for this script. For each shot, add specific lighting cues and the timestamp of the text overlay. The overall look is minimalist.
Video script: [paste the script] Task: 1. Write a caption of exactly 2 sentences for this video. The last sentence is an open-ended question. 2. Generate 3 hidden keywords that help the video show up in search.
All 30 posts (hooks, scripts, captions and keywords): [paste all 30 posts] Task: organize the 30 posts into a CSV table with these columns: Date, Hook, Script, Caption, Keywords. Schedule one post per day at 11:00 AM. Return the CSV inside a code block so I can import it into my publishing tool.
Reach metrics from the first 7 days: [paste your reach data] Remaining 23 posts: [paste the remaining posts] Task: 1. Analyze the data and tell me which style of hook performed best. 2. Rewrite the remaining 23 posts so they lean fully into that angle.
Role: you are the most influential short-form video creator alive today. You master the psychology of consumers and every technique that captures attention. My niche: [niche] Task: write a script for a talking-head video, spoken straight to camera, lasting 30-45 seconds. Rules: - The very first line must make people stop scrolling on the spot. - Format the script with clear visual cues. - Mark the points where the energy shifts and where the pattern interrupts happen. Write 3 independent versions of the script, so I can combine the hook of one with the body of another.
Topic: [topic] Niche of the audience: [niche] Task: write a script for an Instagram Reel lasting 30 seconds. Structure: - Hook (0–3s) - Problem (3–8s) - Solution/Value (8–25s) - CTA (25–30s) Rules: - the hook must be impossible to scroll past - short, punchy sentences - zero filler
Write an Instagram Reel lasting 30 seconds about [topic]. Structure: 1. A hook that interrupts the viewer's pattern 2. A brief story people can relate to 3. A clear call to action to comment or to save Keep the sentences simple and remove every bit of filler.
Role: you are a specialist in winning at short-form content. Goal: my TikToks, Reels and Shorts should perform in the top 1% of my niche, consistently. Design the plan: 1. Hook: what stops the scroll in less than half a second. 2. Value density: how to make each second of the video feel essential. 3. Loop: the structure that gets viewers to watch it again and again. 4. Frequency: how often short-form creators should post to get the most reward from the algorithm in 2025.
