You are a social media manager who specializes in posts engineered for replies. <context> I want a high-engagement question or poll post (works on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn) as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly. </context> <inputs> - The topic: [WHAT I WANT THEM TALKING ABOUT] - Platform: [INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / LINKEDIN] - Audience: [WHO] - Voice: [DESCRIBE] - Tie-in to my brand: [HOW IT RELATES, OR "NONE"] </inputs> <task> Write six engagement-post variants: an either/or this-or-that, a fill-in-the-blank, a hot-take poll, an unpopular-opinion ask, a quick-win-share prompt, and a "caption this" style. Each is low-effort for the audience to answer and easy to reply to in one tap or one line. Include a short hook line and a clear ask for each. Mark the two most likely to flood the comments. </task> <constraints> - Each must be effortless to answer (one tap or one short line). - Tie to the brand where natural, but engagement comes first. - Clean labeled copy-paste block. </constraints> <format> Return the six variants as an artifact, then explain why the top two lower the barrier to reply. </format>
Pro tip: Pick a question anyone can answer without thinking; the lower the effort to reply, the more comments you get and the more reach follows.
Holiday / Seasonal Caption Pack
23/30β¨ What it does
Claude writes a five-caption seasonal pack with varied angles for one occasion, timely without being cheesy. Schedule the set across your week, then swap the angle that feels too salesy.
You are a seasonal-campaign copywriter who writes timely captions across platforms. <context> I need captions for a specific holiday or season delivered as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly, that feel relevant without being cheesy. </context> <inputs> - The occasion: [E.G. BLACK FRIDAY / NEW YEAR / SUMMER] - My brand and product: [WHAT I SELL OR DO] - The angle: [PROMO / GRATITUDE / RELATABLE / TIPS] - Platforms: [WHICH ONES] - Voice: [DESCRIBE] </inputs> <task> Write a pack of five captions for the occasion, each a different angle (a soft promo, a gratitude post, a relatable seasonal moment, a helpful seasonal tip, and a light-hearted one). Each: a hook tied to the occasion, a short body, a CTA, and a fitting hashtag block. Keep the seasonal references specific and avoid generic "happy holidays" filler. </task> <constraints> - Specific, on-brand seasonal references; no clip-art clichΓ©s. - Vary the angles so the pack isn't five promos. - Clean labeled copy-paste block. </constraints> <format> Return the five-caption pack as an artifact, then suggest a posting order across the days leading up to the occasion. </format>
Pro tip: Give Claude the occasion and your one offer; mixing gratitude and tip posts with the promo keeps the seasonal push from feeling salesy.
User-Generated-Content / Reshare Caption
24/30β¨ What it does
Claude writes customer-spotlight reshare captions for [DESCRIBE THE UGC] that credit the creator and add social proof. Tag the customer, then post only if you have permission to reshare.
You are a community-led brand marketer who reshares customer content. <context> I'm resharing a customer's post or review and need a caption that credits them and adds brand value, as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly. </context> <inputs> - What the customer shared: [DESCRIBE THE UGC] - Their handle or name: [@HANDLE OR NAME] - Why it's worth resharing: [THE STORY OR RESULT] - My brand voice: [DESCRIBE] - CTA: [SHOP / TAG US / TRY IT] </inputs> <task> Write three caption variants (Grateful, Storytelling, Social-Proof). Each: a hook spotlighting the customer's experience, a credit to the creator, a line that connects their story to a benefit others get, a soft CTA, and a hashtag block including a branded tag. Add a short permission/credit microcopy line I can DM them. </task> <constraints> - Always credit the original creator clearly. - Center the customer, not the brand boast. - Clean labeled copy-paste block. </constraints> <format> Return the variants as an artifact, then suggest the best way to encourage more UGC in the caption. </format>
Pro tip: Lead with the customer's words, not your brand; resharing reads as authentic when the creator is clearly the star.
Cross-Platform Caption Repurposer
25/30β¨ What it does
Claude adapts one core message into native captions for every platform you named, in one labeled set. Copy each version into the matching app, then cut anything that still sounds copied.
You are a content repurposing strategist who turns one idea into platform-native posts. <context> I have one core message and want it adapted into native captions for several platforms at once, delivered as a single copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly. </context> <inputs> - The core idea or post: [PASTE OR DESCRIBE IT] - Platforms to adapt for: [E.G. INSTAGRAM, LINKEDIN, X, TIKTOK, FACEBOOK] - Brand voice: [DESCRIBE] - Primary goal: [REACH / LEADS / FOLLOWS] </inputs> <task> For each platform I named, write a native caption that respects its norms: Instagram (visual hook + hashtags), LinkedIn (short lines, professional, max 3 hashtags), X (under 280, punchy), TikTok (overlay hook + caption), Facebook (warm, conversational, minimal hashtags). Keep the core message consistent but rewrite tone, length, and CTA per platform. Note any platform where the idea needs a different hook entirely. </task> <constraints> - Respect each platform's length and hashtag norms; never paste identical text. - Same core idea, genuinely re-voiced per platform. - Clean labeled copy-paste block, one section per platform. </constraints> <format> Return the multi-platform set as an artifact, then flag which platform's version is strongest and which needs a rethink. </format>
Pro tip: Paste your best-performing post as the core idea; Claude re-voices it per platform so you stop manually rewriting for each app.

Product, Promo & Conversion Captions
5 promptsProduct-Launch Announcement Caption
26/30β¨ What it does
Claude writes three product-launch announcement captions for [NAME PLUS WHAT IT DOES] with benefit-led hooks and offer copy for Instagram or LinkedIn. Pick the hook that is honest, then add the live link before you post.
You are a product-marketing copywriter who writes launch captions that convert. <context> I'm launching a product and need an announcement caption (works on Instagram or LinkedIn) as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly. </context> <inputs> - Product and one-liner: [NAME PLUS WHAT IT DOES] - What's new or special: [THE BIG IDEA] - Who it's for: [AUDIENCE] - Launch offer or status: [DISCOUNT / EARLY ACCESS / LIVE NOW] - CTA: [SHOP / LINK IN BIO / SIGN UP] </inputs> <task> Write three caption variants (Benefit-Led, Story-Led, Urgency-Led). Each: a hook built on the customer outcome, a short body explaining what's new and why it matters, the offer or availability, a single CTA, and a fitting hashtag block. Avoid hype words; show the concrete benefit. Add an emoji-light and an emoji-rich version of the strongest hook. </task> <constraints> - Lead with the benefit, not "introducing". - One CTA; specific copy, no "revolutionary". - Clean labeled copy-paste block. </constraints> <format> Return the variants as an artifact, then recommend which to post at launch vs which to use as a follow-up reminder. </format>
Pro tip: Feed Claude the single outcome a buyer gets; leading with the benefit converts better than leading with the product name.
Promo / Sale / Discount Caption
27/30β¨ What it does
Claude writes a four-stage sale caption set from announcement to last-chance with honest urgency. Post them in order as your sale runs, then stop the last-chance line when the offer actually ends.
You are a direct-response social copywriter who writes promo captions that move stock. <context> I'm running a sale and need promo captions as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly, that create urgency without sounding spammy. </context> <inputs> - The offer: [E.G. 30 PERCENT OFF, BOGO, FREE SHIPPING] - Product or range on sale: [WHAT'S INCLUDED] - The deadline: [WHEN IT ENDS] - Audience: [WHO] - CTA: [SHOP NOW / USE CODE / LINK IN BIO] </inputs> <task> Write four captions for the sale lifecycle: an announcement post, a mid-sale reminder, a "last chance / ends tonight" urgency post, and a final "few hours left" push. Each: a hook leading with the deal or the deadline, a crisp body, the exact offer and code, a single CTA, and a short hashtag block. Keep urgency honest and specific. </task> <constraints> - Real urgency tied to the actual deadline; no fake scarcity. - State the offer and code clearly; one CTA each. - Clean labeled copy-paste block, posts labeled by stage. </constraints> <format> Return the four-stage caption set as an artifact, then suggest the posting schedule across the sale window. </format>
Pro tip: Give Claude the real end time; specific deadlines ('ends 11:59 tonight') drive far more action than vague 'limited time' lines.
Testimonial / Review-Highlight Caption
28/30β¨ What it does
Claude turns [PASTE IT] into testimonial-highlight captions plus a graphic pull quote in three framings. Put the pull quote on your image, then paste the caption that keeps the customer's words intact.
You are a social-proof marketer who turns reviews into scroll-stopping posts. <context> I want to feature a customer testimonial as a social caption, delivered as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly. </context> <inputs> - The testimonial or review: [PASTE IT] - The customer's name/handle (if usable): [NAME OR "ANONYMOUS"] - The product or service it praises: [WHAT] - The benefit it proves: [THE OUTCOME] - CTA: [TRY IT / SHOP / BOOK] </inputs> <task> Write three caption variants (Quote-Led, Result-Led, Objection-Crusher). Each: a hook (a pulled quote or the result), context framing who the customer is, the benefit the review proves for the reader, a soft CTA, and a hashtag block. Also write a tight one-line pull quote suitable to overlay on a graphic. </task> <constraints> - Stay faithful to the real review; don't invent claims. - Connect the testimonial to the reader's own situation. - Clean labeled copy-paste block. </constraints> <format> Return the variants and the pull quote as an artifact, then say which framing best overcomes a skeptical buyer's doubt. </format>
Pro tip: Tell Claude the exact objection your buyers have; framing the review as the answer to that doubt converts skeptics.
Giveaway / Contest Caption
29/30β¨ What it does
Claude writes a giveaway caption for [WHAT THEY CAN WIN] that states [WORTH OR APPEAL], plus reminder and winner posts with clear entry rules. Publish your rules first, then use the reminder and winner copy on schedule.
You are a growth marketer who runs viral giveaways and contests. <context> I'm running a giveaway and need a caption that maximizes entries and follows, delivered as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly. </context> <inputs> - The prize: [WHAT THEY CAN WIN] - The value of the prize: [WORTH OR APPEAL] - Entry rules: [E.G. FOLLOW, LIKE, TAG 2 FRIENDS, COMMENT] - Deadline and winner-announcement date: [WHEN] - Platform: [INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK / X] </inputs> <task> Write the giveaway caption: a hook leading with the prize, a clear "how to enter" numbered list of the rules, the deadline and how the winner is picked, a short fine-print/eligibility line, and a hashtag block including a branded contest tag. Provide a shorter reminder-post version and a winner-announcement caption too. </task> <constraints> - Entry rules must be crystal clear and numbered. - Include deadline, winner date, and a basic eligibility line. - Clean labeled copy-paste block (main, reminder, winner). </constraints> <format> Return the three captions as an artifact, then suggest the entry mechanic most likely to drive new follows vs just likes. </format>
Pro tip: Make 'tag a friend' an entry rule; it's the single mechanic that pulls new accounts into your audience instead of just existing followers.
CTA / Link-in-Bio Driver Caption
30/30β¨ What it does
Claude writes five link-in-bio driver captions, each built on a different click trigger, for bio, stories, or swipe-up. Test two triggers on your posts, then keep the one that actually sends people to the link.
You are a conversion copywriter who writes captions engineered to drive clicks off-platform. <context> I need captions whose job is to send people to a link (in bio, in a story, or a swipe-up), delivered as a copy-paste caption-set artifact, previewable instantly. </context> <inputs> - Where the link goes: [PRODUCT / LANDING PAGE / NEWSLETTER / BOOKING] - The reason to click: [THE PAYOFF ON THE OTHER SIDE] - Friction or objection: [WHY THEY MIGHT HESITATE] - Platform: [INSTAGRAM / TIKTOK / LINKEDIN] - Voice: [DESCRIBE] </inputs> <task> Write five caption variants each built around a different click trigger: curiosity gap, clear value promise, social proof, scarcity, and a direct ask. Each: a hook, a short body that earns the click, an explicit "link in bio" style CTA with a reason to act now, and a tight hashtag block. Add one comment-pinning line that restates the link for the algorithm. </task> <constraints> - Every variant makes the click feel worth it; no clickbait that under-delivers. - One clear off-platform CTA each. - Clean labeled copy-paste block. </constraints> <format> Return the five variants as an artifact, then explain which click trigger fits a cold audience vs a warm one. </format>
Pro tip: Name the exact hesitation that stops people from clicking; addressing it in the caption removes the last bit of friction before the tap.
