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

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

1. 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)

1. 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

1. 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

1. /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.

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

1. 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..."

1. 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

1. 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

Output Format

# YouTube Community Post: [Topic]
 
[Full post text]
 
---
**Posting notes:** [frequency, cross-reference to source, engagement strategy]
**Source video:** [URL if applicable, "N/A" otherwise]

Brief Mode

If --brief is active, produce only:

• 1 poll (highest engagement format)
• Skip text post and image concept
