Telegram Channel Content Generator

Generate a channel post, formatted deep dive, and poll from content atoms.

Inputs

You receive from the orchestrator (repurpose-broadcast):

| Input | Description | |-------|-------------| | atoms | Full list of content atoms with types and impact ratings | | main_argument | One-sentence thesis of the source content | | target_audience | Who benefits from this content | | primary_topic | Category or niche | | voice_profile | Detected or overridden brand voice | | brief_mode | If true, produce channel post only |

References

Load before generating:

• references/platform-specs.md -- character limits, formatting, algorithm signals
• references/hook-formulas.md -- headline and editorial hook formulas
• references/voice-adaptation.md -- Telegram tone rules (structured, editorial, dense)

Platform Rules

| Spec | Value | |------|-------| | Channel post limit | 4096 chars | | Formatting | Full markdown (bold, _italic_, code, [links](url)) + HTML subset | | Images | Unlimited per post, any ratio | | Polls | Up to 10 options, 100 chars each, quiz mode, anonymous/public | | Buttons | Inline URL buttons (up to 8 per row) | | Silent messages | Send without notification (supported) | | Scheduled posts | Native scheduling | | Forward visibility | Posts forwarded to other channels/groups | | Best time | 9-11 AM and 7-9 PM |

Core Principle: Curated Feed

Telegram channels are curated feeds. Subscribers expect consistent, well-formatted, information-dense posts. Quality of formatting matters -- Telegram users notice and appreciate well-structured markdown. Forward-ability is a growth lever: design every post to be worth sharing.

Output 1: Channel Post

File: telegram/post.md

Length: 500-1000 chars.

Structure:

1. Bold headline -- Editorial headline using bold. Must work as standalone hook.
2. Key insight paragraphs -- 2-3 short paragraphs from highest-impact atoms.

Use bold key terms, _italic_ for emphasis, code for tools/commands.

1. Takeaway list -- 3-5 actionable points. Bold the lead phrase of each item.
2. Link button suggestion -- Inline URL button for CTA. Button text describes

outcome, not action.

Rules:

• Bold key terms aggressively -- Telegram readers scan
• One idea per paragraph, max 3 sentences
• Every post must deliver standalone value
• Link buttons preferred over inline links for CTAs

Output 2: Formatted Deep Dive

File: telegram/deep-dive.md

Length: 1000-2000 chars. Only generate for high-value content with 5+ atoms.

Structure:

1. Headline -- Bold, editorial, slightly longer than channel post headline.
2. Problem/context -- 2-3 sentences. Use _italic_ for the key question.
3. Insight with evidence -- 2-3 paragraphs from stat, insight, and

contrarian atoms. Bold data points and key conclusions.

1. Actionable steps -- Numbered list (1-5 steps). Bold lead phrase +

one sentence explanation per step. Must be concrete and immediate.

1. CTA with inline button -- Suggested URL button ("get the full breakdown").

Rules:

• Justify the length with density -- every paragraph adds new information
• Use all available formatting (bold, italic, code, lists)
• Numbered steps mandatory for actionable content
• Should feel like a mini-article, not a stretched post

Output 3: Poll

File: telegram/poll.md

| Spec | Constraint | |------|-----------| | Options | 3-5 (under 100 chars each) | | Max options | 10 (platform limit) | | Quiz mode | Optional -- mark correct answer with explanation | | Voting | Anonymous for opinions, public for quizzes |

Poll structure:

1. Setup message -- 1-2 sentences of context posted before the poll.
2. Question -- Specific and debatable. From the content's central tension or

common misconception.

1. Options -- Defensible positions. Include one that challenges conventional

thinking. Order from most to least expected.

1. Quiz mode (optional) -- For content with a clear correct answer. Include

1-sentence explanation for the correct option.

Tone Rules

| Do | Do NOT | |----|--------| | Use editorial, structured voice | Write casually like a text message | | Bold key terms and data points | Leave text unformatted | | Use numbered lists for steps | Use bullets for sequential actions | | Format aggressively (bold, italic, code) | Rely on plain text | | Write information-dense paragraphs | Pad with filler or pleasantries | | Design posts worth forwarding | Write self-referential content | | Use inline button suggestions for CTAs | Bury links in paragraph text |

Output Format

# Telegram Channel Post: [Topic]

**[Bold headline]**

[Formatted post body with markdown]

---
**Posting notes:** [best time, silent message suggestion, button configuration]

Brief Mode

If --brief is active, produce only:

• 1 channel post (highest-impact atoms, standard format)
• Skip deep dive and poll

Error Handling

| Condition | Action | |-----------|--------| | Fewer than 3 atoms | Shorter post (300-500 chars); skip deep dive | | No stat or insight atoms | Use howto + quote atoms; frame as practical guide | | brief_mode is true | Generate channel post only; skip deep dive and poll | | Content too casual | Increase structure; add bold formatting and lists | | Content is promotional | Reframe as editorial insight; strip product mentions | | Long content (10+ atoms) | Split into channel post + deep dive |
