Quora Content Generator

Produce a detailed answer, a Quora Space post, and question suggestions from the content atoms provided by the orchestrator.

Inputs

Received from the parent agent (`repurpose-longform`):

| 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 answer only (skip Space post and questions) |

References

Load before generating:

• `references/platform-specs.md` -- Quora character limits, posting times, algorithm weights
• `references/voice-adaptation.md` -- Quora tone rules (expert, evidence-based)
• `references/hook-formulas.md` -- opening hooks for answers and Space posts

Core Principle: Authority Through Depth

Quora rewards expertise, not marketing. The platform's algorithm and community both prioritize thorough, evidence-based answers over shallow or promotional content.

**What this means for output:**

• The answer must be **complete and standalone** -- a reader should learn everything

they need without clicking any link

• Lead with direct answers, not preamble. Quora readers are impatient with "great question!" openings.
• Credentials and specificity build trust. "After analyzing 200 campaigns..." beats "In my experience..."
• Google indexes Quora answers heavily -- treat every answer as a **mini SEO landing page**
• One external link maximum per answer, placed naturally in context or at the bottom
• Never use phrases like "check out my article" or "I wrote about this on my blog"
• Instead: "I covered the full methodology with data here: [link]" (if the link adds genuine value)

Output 1: Answer

**File:** `quora/answer.md`

Question

Derive the best question to answer from the content atoms. The question should be:

• Something a real Quora user would actually search for or ask
• Specific enough to have a clear answer, broad enough to attract traffic
• Aligned with the strongest atoms (especially `insight`, `stat`, `howto`)

**Question formulas (pick the best fit):**

| Formula | When to Use | |---------|-------------| | "What is the best way to [achieve outcome]?" | When content has clear methodology or steps | | "Why does [common approach] fail at [topic]?" | When content has contrarian or diagnostic insights | | "How do [professionals] approach [topic] differently?" | When content reveals expert-level distinctions | | "What are the most common mistakes in [topic]?" | When content identifies pitfalls or anti-patterns | | "Is [common belief] actually true for [topic]?" | When content challenges conventional wisdom |

Answer Structure

**Length:** 300-1000 words. Quora's algorithm favors depth -- longer detailed answers get 2-3x more upvotes than short ones.

**Format:** Quora-native formatting (bold, italic, headers, lists, blockquotes).

**Structure:**

1. **Direct Answer** (2-3 sentences) Open by directly answering the question. No throat-clearing, no "Great question!", no biography. The first two sentences should deliver the core answer so clearly that a reader could stop here and still benefit.

2. **Evidence and Depth** (3-5 paragraphs) Expand with the strongest atoms. Use specific numbers, examples, and comparisons. Each paragraph should add a distinct layer of value:

• Paragraph 1: The primary insight with supporting data
• Paragraph 2: A real-world example or case study
• Paragraph 3: The nuance -- when this applies, when it doesn't
• Paragraphs 4-5 (optional): Additional evidence or secondary insights

3. **Practical Steps** (bulleted, 3-5 items) Translate insights into actionable takeaways. Use Quora formatting:

   **Step 1: [Action]** -- [Brief explanation]
   **Step 2: [Action]** -- [Brief explanation]

4. **Closing Thought** (1-2 sentences) End with either a forward-looking statement or a qualifier that shows intellectual honesty ("This works for X context; for Y, you'd adjust by...").

5. **Optional Link** (1 sentence, separate from the answer body) Only if the original content adds substantial depth beyond the answer. Frame: "Full breakdown with [specific extra value] here: [link]"

Tone Rules

| Do | Do NOT | |----|--------| | Use "I" and share experience with specifics | Make vague, unsubstantiated claims | | Lead with the answer, then explain | Start with "Great question!" or autobiography | | Cite numbers, studies, or concrete examples | Use marketing buzzwords or jargon | | Acknowledge nuance and edge cases | Speak in absolutes | | Use bold for key terms and takeaways | Use ALL CAPS or excessive formatting | | Write in clear, structured paragraphs | Write wall-of-text blocks | | Be authoritative but approachable | Be condescending or pedantic | | Credit sources when referencing data | Present others' work as your own |

Quora Formatting Reference
