Core Principle

Discord is about CONVERSATION, not broadcasting. Every post should invite a specific response. Silent posts get buried by the scroll. Design every output for reply-generation -- ask questions, prompt reactions, spark debate. A post with zero replies is a failed post.

Output 1: Announcement Post

Write to discord/announcement.md.

Formatted message for a #general or #announcements channel. Must stay under 2,000 characters.

Announcement Structure

1. Bold headline (1 line)
2. Lead with the strongest insight or most surprising atom
3. Use bold markdown for the opening line
4. Keep it punchy: 8-15 words max

1. Body (2-3 short paragraphs)
2. Expand on the headline with context from 2-3 atoms
3. Short paragraphs (2-3 sentences each)
4. Use line breaks between paragraphs for readability
5. Contractions and casual language throughout

1. Bullet point takeaways (3-5 items)
2. Pull the most actionable or surprising atoms
3. Each bullet is one clear thought
4. Use emoji bullets where natural (not forced)

1. Reaction prompt (final line)
2. Drive engagement through reactions: "React with :fire: if you've experienced this"
3. Or a direct question: "Drop your take below -- what's YOUR experience with this?"
4. Never end without a clear engagement hook

Announcement Rules

• Total length under 2,000 characters (hard Discord limit)
• No walls of text -- Discord users skim aggressively
• At least one reaction prompt OR direct question
• Bold the most important phrase in each paragraph

Output 2: Discussion Thread Prompt

Write to discord/thread-prompt.md.

Message designed to start a thread. Opens conversation, not delivers a lecture.

Thread Prompt Structure

1. Opening hook (1-2 sentences)
2. Use a contrarian take, surprising stat, or provocative question from the atoms
3. Frame as your own observation or question, not a teaching moment
4. "Okay so ngl, I just learned something that kinda broke my brain..."

1. Context (2-3 sentences)
2. Provide just enough background for people to form an opinion
3. Don't explain everything -- leave gaps that invite people to fill in

1. Specific invitation (1-2 sentences)
2. NOT "What do you think?" (too generic, gets ignored)
3. Instead: "Drop your take below -- have y'all run into this?"
4. Or: "Genuinely curious -- does this match your experience or am I way off?"
5. Frame it so members share personal experience, not just agreement

Thread Prompt Rules

• Under 1,000 characters (shorter = more replies)
• Must contain at least one direct question
• Designed for ongoing conversation, not one-and-done reactions
• Leave room for disagreement -- don't present a settled conclusion

Output 3: Embed Message

Write to discord/embed.md.

Rich embed format for bot-posted or webhook content.

Embed Structure

1. Title (256 chars max)
2. Bold insight or key finding from the strongest atom
3. Concise and curiosity-driving

1. Description (under 4,096 chars)
2. Expanded context around the title insight
3. 2-3 short paragraphs with Discord markdown formatting
4. Include the "so what" -- why this matters to the community

1. Color (hex code)
2. Match the content mood:
3. #FF6B6B -- urgent, warning, contrarian
4. #4ECDC4 -- tips, how-to, educational
5. #FFE66D -- insight, discovery, new finding
6. #95E1D3 -- community, discussion, collaborative
7. #A8E6CF -- success, case study, positive result

1. Fields (3-5 key takeaways)
2. Each field has a name (bold label) and value (brief explanation)
3. One atom per field
4. Keep field values under 100 characters for clean formatting
5. Use inline: true for side-by-side fields where appropriate

1. Footer
2. Source attribution: "Source: [original content title or URL]"
3. Timestamp if relevant

Embed Format Template

**Embed Title:** [insight or finding]
**Color:** #[hex]

Tone Rules

| Do | Do NOT | |----|--------| | Use "y'all", "ngl", "tbh", contractions | Use formal language or corporate speak | | Include emoji naturally (not excessively) | Force emoji into every sentence | | Write like a peer sharing something cool | Write like a brand broadcasting content | | Ask specific questions that invite replies | Use generic "Thoughts?" or "Agree?" | | Use Discord markdown (bold, code blocks) | Write plain unformatted text walls | | Reference community inside jokes if known | Assume knowledge of the community culture | | Keep paragraphs short (2-3 sentences max) | Write essay-length paragraphs | | Use reaction prompts for quick engagement | Ignore engagement hooks entirely |

Output Format

# Discord Announcement: [Topic]

[Full message text]

---
**Channel suggestion:** #[recommended channel type]
**Best posting time:** Weekdays 3-8 PM EST
**Engagement strategy:** [reaction prompt, thread follow-up plan]
**Character count:** [count]/2000

Brief Mode

If --brief is active, produce only:

• 1 announcement post (most versatile format)
• Skip thread prompt and embed

Error Handling

| Condition | Action | |-----------|--------| | Fewer than 3 atoms | Write shorter announcement (under 1,000 chars); skip thread and embed | | No contrarian or question atoms | Use insight + howto atoms; frame announcement as a tip share | | brief_mode is true | Generate announcement only; skip thread prompt and embed | | Content too formal for Discord tone | Rewrite with casual language, contractions, and peer framing | | Promotional content detected | Reframe as community value -- "found this useful, thought y'all might too" |
