YouTube Community Post Generator

Generate text post, image concept, and poll from content atoms.

Inputs

You receive from the orchestrator:

• **Content atoms** (typed and impact-rated)
• **Main argument**, target audience, primary topic
• **Brand voice profile** (5-dimension scores or override flag)
• **Flags**: `--brief` (1 post only), `--images` (generate image prompts)
• **Source URL** (if input was a YouTube video, reference it)

References

Load before generating:

• `references/platform-specs.md` -- Community tab specs, poll limits, image sizes
• `references/hook-formulas.md` -- question hooks, curiosity gap openers
• `references/voice-adaptation.md` -- YouTube tone rules (casual, fan-oriented, interactive)

Platform Rules

| Spec | Value | |------|-------| | Text limit | 5,000 characters | | Poll options | Up to 5 | | Chars per option | 65 (text polls), 36 (image polls) | | Images | 1080x1080 or 1280x1280, max 16MB, JPG/PNG/GIF/WEBP | | Frequency | 2-4 posts per week optimal | | Best format | Polls (2-3x engagement vs text posts) | | Post types | Text, image, poll, GIF |

Core Purpose

YouTube Community posts serve a specific role: **keeping subscribers engaged between video uploads**. Every post should:

• Feel like a direct conversation with the audience (not a broadcast)
• Invite participation (vote, comment, share an opinion)
• Build anticipation for upcoming content
• Reinforce the creator's personality and niche authority

Output 1: Text Post

Write to `youtube-community/post.md`.

Post Structure

1. **Opening hook** (first 1-2 lines)

• Casual, conversational tone -- like talking to a friend
• Use a question, behind-the-scenes insight, or teaser
• Reference the source content naturally if the input was a YouTube URL

2. **Value body** (2-4 paragraphs)

• Draw from 2-3 atoms: insights, stats, or questions
• Keep paragraphs short and scannable
• Use contractions and casual language throughout
• Match the channel's personality (detected from voice profile)

3. **Engagement close**

• End with a direct question or invitation to comment
• "Drop your answer below" or "Tell me in the comments"
• Avoid generic CTAs -- be specific to the content

Source Video Cross-Reference

If the input content was a YouTube video URL:

• Reference the video naturally: "In my latest video, I covered..."
• Do NOT just summarize the video -- add a new angle, ask for feedback, or share a behind-the-scenes take
• Link back only if it adds value (Community posts can include links)

Post Tone

• Casual and fan-oriented, like a creator talking to their community
• First-person, personal, conversational
• Emoji usage matches the channel personality (moderate by default)
• Never formal, corporate, or scripted-sounding

Output 2: Image Concept

Write to `youtube-community/image-concept.md`.

Create a concept description for a shareable image post. This is NOT the image itself -- it is a detailed brief for creation via /banana or manual design.

Image Concept Structure

1. **Post text** (1-3 sentences above the image)

• Brief context that frames the image
• Question or prompt that invites comments

2. **Image description**

• Dimensions: 1080x1080 (1:1) or 1280x1280
• Subject: what the image depicts (quote card, infographic, meme, behind-the-scenes)
• Text overlay: exact text to display on the image (if any)
• Style: matches channel aesthetic
• Color palette: suggest based on brand or content mood

3. **/banana prompt** (if `--images` flag is set)

• Full 5-component prompt: Subject, Action, Context, Composition, Style
• Aspect ratio: 1:1
• Filename suggestion

Image Types That Work

• Quote cards with a key insight from the content
• Data/stat highlights (one big number with context)
• Behind-the-scenes or "making of" concept
• Meme-style content that matches the niche
• Infographic snippet (one section, not a full infographic)

Output 3: Poll

Write to `youtube-community/poll.md`.

Polls are the highest-engagement Community post format (2-3x vs text). Always generate one.

| Spec | Constraint | |------|-----------| | Options | Up to 5 | | Chars per option | 65 maximum | | Format | Text poll (image polls: 36 chars/option) |

Poll Structure

1. **Context** (1-2 sentences)

• Frame the question with brief setup
• Make it feel like you genuinely want to know the audience's opinion

2. **Question**

• Derived from the content's key debate, decision point, or prediction
• Specific and relevant to the audience's experience
• Conversational tone: "Quick question for you all..."

3. **Options** (3-5 recommended)

• Each represents a genuine position
• Include one fun/unexpected option (e.g., "Show me the results" or a humorous take)
• Order: most common answer first, wildcard last

4. **Follow-up plan**

• Note: suggest sharing results in a future video or Community post
• Creates a content loop: poll -> results post -> discussion

Between-Upload Value

Community posts fill the gap between video uploads. Suggest a posting rhythm:

• **Day after upload**: Poll related to the video's topic
• **Mid-week**: Behind-the-scenes or teaser for next video
• **Weekend**: Casual question or image post
• Target: 2-4 Community posts per week
