THE FINISH LINE

What you will make

Five post drafts, five visual briefs, and a simple publishing schedule.

Before you start

An article you wrote or have permission to adapt
A clear audience and one primary channel
An AI writing assistant and your design editor

Tools and cost: The text workflow can use your existing assistant. Use owned images and available design assets to avoid additional purchases.

MAKE IT YOURS

Start with your brief

Your details fill the prompts below. Start with the example, or add your own information.

Your brief stays on this page until you copy or download it. Refreshing clears it. Use information you are comfortable pasting into your chosen AI tool.

Fill in all 3 fields, or choose “Use example”, to enable prompt copying.

ONE STEP AT A TIME

Follow the recipe

0/4 complete

Use one conversation in your writing assistant. Review each result before continuing; later prompts build on your approved choices.

Find the strongest ideas

Paste the full source text with this prompt. Read the extracted claims and check that each appears in the article.

YOUR PROMPT

Extract five distinct useful ideas from the source below for [Add Audience above] on [Add Primary channel above]. For each, give a plain-language takeaway and a short supporting passage from the source. Separate advice from factual claims. Do not add studies, quotes, statistics, or results that are absent.

SOURCE:
[Add Source article above]

The five takeaways are supported by the source.

Give each post a different job

Continue in the same conversation. Pick a distinct purpose for each post so the week does not repeat the same summary five times.

YOUR PROMPT

Using only the five verified takeaways above, draft five posts for [Add Primary channel above] and [Add Audience above]: one practical tip, one step-by-step checklist, one common mistake, one worked example clearly labeled as an example, and one discussion question. Use a natural tone. Each post needs a specific opening and one next step. Keep each under 130 words and do not invent personal experiences or results.

Each post has a different purpose and no invented evidence.

Create the visual briefs

Make a graphic for the posts that benefit from one. Keep any written advice as editable text in your design editor rather than embedding it inside a generated image.

YOUR PROMPT

Write a visual brief for each approved post above. Return: post number, format, headline of at most six words, visual concept, and a useful alt-text draft. Prefer simple checklists, annotated original photos, or diagrams. Suggest a text-only post when a graphic would add no value. Do not invent chart data.

The visuals clarify the advice and text remains readable at a small size.

Build a realistic publishing plan

Choose dates you can maintain. Review all final captions and images before adding them to your normal scheduler.

YOUR PROMPT

Organize the five approved posts into a one-week draft schedule for [Add Primary channel above]. Do not claim optimal posting times without account data. For each post include its objective, draft caption, visual brief, next step, and one metric worth checking. Finish with a checklist to verify claims, image permissions, links, and readability.

I have five reviewed posts with visual briefs and a publishing plan.

SEE THE SHAPE OF A RESULT

An illustrative example

Illustrative source: the desk-reset paragraph supplied in the example fields.

Post 1 — Practical tip Before buying another desk organizer, try removing everything from your desk. Return only the things you use daily. Put occasional tools in one nearby tray. It is a small experiment you can try today. Which item on your desk has not been used this week? Post 2 — Checklist A five-minute closing routine: • Clear loose papers. • Return supplies to their place. • Keep cables together with reusable ties. Adapt the routine to your workspace; it is not a measured productivity claim. Visual brief: A simple before/after layout using your own desk photographs, with the same camera angle.

This editorial example shows the intended format. It is not a recorded test of a particular tool; your result will vary.

If the result misses the mark

All five posts sound alike.

Assign each one a separate job: teach, demonstrate, troubleshoot, exemplify, or invite discussion.

The assistant adds impressive statistics.

Require a source passage for every factual claim, or remove the claim.

Build a reusable one-page brand guide

Turn a short brand brief into practical voice rules, a visual direction, and reusable campaign prompts.
