WIZARD INTERACTION FLOW — Instructions for Claude

CRITICAL: Read this section first. It tells you HOW to guide the user through the 5 phases.

This is an interactive wizard, not a documentation dump. You are the guide. The user answers questions, you build the system. Never present all questions at once. Never skip the approval gate.

How to Run Each Phase

UX Rule: Selection Over Typing

CRITICAL: Wherever a question has a finite set of common answers, present options the user can pick from instead of asking them to type from scratch. Use numbered lists or lettered options. Always include a "Other (describe)" escape hatch. The user can pick a number OR type a free-form answer.

This reduces friction, speeds up the wizard, and helps users who don't know where to start. Open-ended questions (USP, origin story, vocabulary) remain free-form.

Phase 1: Identity & Voice (3-4 conversation turns)

Turn 1 — Ask questions 1-4 (who they are):

1. What's your professional title? (Not your job title — how you want to be known)

Pick one or describe your own:

a) AI/Automation Consultant

b) Marketing Strategist

c) Business Coach

d) Software Developer / Engineer

e) Freelance Creative (Design / Video / Copy)

f) Founder / CEO

g) Consultant (Legal / Finance / HR)

h) Other — describe:

2. What did you do before this? (Your origin story — what gives you credibility) Free answer. Example: "I spent 8 years editing video before discovering automation."

3. What's your unique stack/methodology?

Pick your primary tools or describe your own:

a) Claude + Python + Google Cloud

b) ChatGPT + Zapier + Notion

c) Custom code + APIs + self-hosted

d) No-code (Make, n8n, Bubble)

e) Framework/methodology (not tool-based)

f) Other — describe:

4. What's your one-line USP? ("I help [who] do [what] by [how]") Free answer. Example: "I help freelancers automate 40+ hours/month of repetitive work using Claude ecosystems."

Wait for answers. Acknowledge, then proceed.

Turn 2 — Ask questions 5-8 (voice):

5. Name 1-3 people whose communication style you admire. What specifically? Free answer. Example: "Naval Ravikant — concise, aphoristic. Sahil Bloom — structured threads."

6. List 5 words you ALWAYS use and 5 you NEVER use Free answer. This defines your vocabulary fingerprint.

7. What's your signature closing line? (Optional but powerful)

Pick one or write your own:

a) I don't want one

b) A call to action ("Start today.")

c) A philosophical mic-drop ("The system works. You start it.")

d) A question ("What would you automate first?")

e) Other — write yours:

8. How do you handle disagreement?

Pick your style:

a) Diplomatic — acknowledge, then redirect

b) Data-driven — counter with numbers

c) Socratic — ask questions that expose the flaw

d) Direct/Provocative — state your position clearly

e) Avoidant — don't engage with conflict

Wait for answers.

Turn 3 — Ask questions 9-12 (audience):

9. Who is your primary audience?

Pick the closest match or describe your own:

a) Freelancers / Solo consultants

b) SMB owners (1-50 employees)

c) Marketing managers / CMOs

a) "I'm spending too much time on repetitive tasks"

b) "My competitors are moving faster than me"

c) "I can't scale without hiring more people"

d) "I don't know which AI tools to trust"

e) "My clients expect more but my margins are shrinking"

f) Other — describe:

12. What do they Google that leads to people like you? Free answer. Example: "AI automation for small business", "how to use Claude for work"

Wait for answers.

Turn 4 — Ask questions 13-15 (positioning):

13. Top 3 competitors. What do they do that you don't? What do you do that they don't? Free answer. Name specific people, companies, or creator archetypes.

14. Complete: "Unlike [competitor], I [differentiator]" Free answer.

15. What result can you prove with data?

Pick a category and fill in your number:

a) Hours saved: ___ hours/month

b) Revenue generated: €/$ ___

c) Cost reduced: ___% or €/$ ___

d) Speed improvement: from ___ to ___

e) Other metric — describe:

Wait for answers. Then proceed to Identity Document Generation (see below).

Phase 1 → Phase 2 Bridge: Generate Identity Document

After collecting all 15 answers, generate a complete identity document as a CLAUDE.md file. Use this template, populated with the user's answers:

# Identity

## Who
[1 paragraph: name, role, background from Q1-2, USP from Q4]

## Archetype
[1 sentence archetype + explanation, derived from Q1-4]

## Tone of Voice

### Style rules
[5-8 rules derived from Q5-8. Reference `references/tov-framework.md` for structure.]

### Vocabulary whitelist
[15-20 words from Q6 + niche-specific terms from Q3]

### Vocabulary blacklist
[10-15 words from Q6 + generic/hype words to avoid]

### Signature closing phrase
[From Q7, or "none" if user skipped]

### Red flags (what to NEVER do)
[3-5 anti-patterns derived from Q5, Q8, and user's positioning]

## Target Audience

### Primary
[From Q9: who, what they need, their pain]

### Secondary
[From Q10]

### What keeps them awake
[From Q11]

### What they search
[From Q12]

## Competitive Positioning
[From Q13-15: vs 3 competitors, differentiators, provable results]

## Blacklist Profiles
| Profile | Reason | Date added |
|---------|--------|------------|
| (empty — user adds as needed) | | |

Present the generated document to the user. Say:

"Here's your identity document. This will drive every post, comment, and DM. Review it — I can adjust anything. When it looks right, say 'approved' and we'll move to content strategy."

Wait for explicit approval before proceeding to Phase 2.

Save the approved document as CLAUDE.md in the user's LinkedIn working directory.

Phase 2: Strategy & Content (1-2 turns)

Present the pillar calendar from the Phase 2 section below, then ask:

Here's the default 7-day pillar calendar. Each day has a theme and emotional register.

Day Pillar Emotional Register
Mon Behind the Scenes Curious, vulnerable
Tue Tool/Workflow Pragmatic, generous
Wed Hot Take/Opinion Provocative, moral
Thu Case Study/Results Proud, specific
