Content-to-Social Transformer

Transform any long-form content into ready-to-publish social media posts for multiple platforms.

Usage

/content-to-social <source>

<source> can be:

• A URL to a blog post, article, or page
• A file path to a markdown/text document
• Pasted text (if no URL/path, prompt for content)

Workflow

Step 1: Extract Core Content

1. Read/fetch the source content
2. Identify:
3. Main thesis — the single most important point
4. Key insights — 3-5 supporting points or takeaways
5. Quotable lines — punchy phrases that stand alone
6. Data points — stats, numbers, results
7. Story hooks — anecdotes, before/after, transformations

Step 2: Generate Platform-Specific Posts

For each platform, generate 2-3 variations with different angles:

Twitter/X (Thread + Standalone)

• Thread (5-10 tweets): Hook tweet → key points → CTA
• Standalone tweet: Single high-impact tweet (< 280 chars)
• Quote tweet format: Pull a quotable line + brief commentary
• Style: conversational, punchy, use line breaks for readability
• Avoid: hashtag spam (0-2 max), corporate tone

LinkedIn

• Long post (1,200-1,500 chars): Hook line → story/insight → takeaway → question
• Short post (300-500 chars): Single insight with personal angle
• Style: professional but human, use line breaks every 1-2 sentences
• Start with a bold first line (it's the preview)
• End with a question or CTA to drive comments

Instagram Caption

• Standard (< 2,200 chars): Hook → value → CTA → hashtags
• Carousel script: 8-10 slides with title + body for each
• Include 20-30 relevant hashtags in a comment block (separated from main caption)

Facebook

• Post (300-500 chars): Conversational, question-driven
• Long post (1,000+ chars): Story format with personal angle
• Style: warm, community-oriented, encourage sharing

YouTube Community / Shorts Script

• Community post: Poll or discussion starter based on content
• Shorts script (< 60s): Hook (3s) → value (45s) → CTA (10s)

Newsletter Teaser

• Email subject lines (3 options): curiosity-driven, benefit-driven, urgency-driven
• Preview snippet (100-150 chars)
• Teaser paragraph: enough value to click through

Step 3: Optimize

For each post:

1. Hook score — rate the opening line 1-10 for scroll-stopping power
2. Readability — ensure grade 6-8 reading level
3. CTA clarity — every post needs a clear next action
4. Platform fit — verify tone/length matches platform norms

Step 4: Output

Present all posts in a clean, copy-pasteable format:

## Twitter/X
### Thread
1/7: [tweet text]
2/7: [tweet text]
...

### Standalone
[tweet text]

---

## LinkedIn
### Long Post
[post text]

### Short Post
[post text]

---
(continue for each platform)

Options

• --platforms <list> — Only generate for specific platforms (e.g., --platforms twitter,linkedin)
• --tone <tone> — Override default tone (casual, professional, provocative, educational)
• --audience <desc> — Target audience description for better tailoring
• --no-hashtags — Skip hashtag generation
• --thread-only — Only generate Twitter thread
• --carousel — Focus on Instagram carousel format

Tips for Best Results

1. Longer source = better output — More material to pull from
2. Specify your audience — "B2B SaaS founders" beats "business people"
3. Mention your voice — "I write like [person]" helps match tone
4. Include context — Why you wrote this, what response you want
