## Process

### 1. Topic + Angle

From the input (topic seed, or generate from content pillars):

| Pillar | Rotate |
|--------|--------|
| Founder story | 2x/week -- journey, lessons, building in public |
| Trust & transparency | 2x/week -- how you work, why competitors fail, what you've learned |
| Proof & results | 1x/week -- metrics, case study, client wins |
| Industry insight | 1x/week -- market trends, broken models, what's changing |
| Events/networking | 1x/week -- observations, people, community |

### 2. Draft in Authentic Voice

**Voice rules:**
- Direct, no corporate speak
- Short sentences, short paragraphs
- Personal -- use "I", tell stories
- Specific numbers beat vague claims
- Okay to be polarizing
- No emojis in the post body (unless explicitly asked)

**Structure:**
- **Hook** (line 1-2): Stop the scroll
- **Body** (3-10 lines): One idea per line, conversational
- **Proof** (1-2 lines): Data or specific example
- **CTA** (last line): Question or invitation

### 3. Generate Output

Provide:
1. **Primary post** (text-only, ready to paste)
2. **Alternative hook** (different opening angle)
3. **Hashtags** (3-5 relevant)
4. **Best posting time** suggestion

If asked, also provide:
- Carousel outline
- Thread version (multi-post)
- Image prompt for visual

## Rules

- No corporate jargon -- talk like a founder, not a consultant
- Every post needs at least one specific data point or story detail
- Keep under 1,300 characters for optimal engagement (unless carousel/thread)
- End with a question or invitation that drives comments
- Never use em dashes or en dashes -- hyphens only
- No banned phrases: "leverage", "unlock", "empower", "game-changer", "synergy", "innovative"
