Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Collect Reference Material
Ask the user:
> "Please share your reference material (content drafts, newsletters, scripts, notes, or URLs). I'll extract 60 high-impact tweet ideas organized across 5 categories."
Accept any of the following:
- User input content (pasted text)
- Content draft files from
/content-draft/ - URLs to fetch and analyze
- Newsletters, scripts, or notes
- Multiple sources combined
If the user provides a URL, use WebFetch to retrieve the content.
Step 2: Deep Analysis

| Counterintuitive Truths | Paradoxes and unexpected wisdom |
| Core Problems/Pain Points | Struggles the audience faces |
| Impactful Quotes | Memorable lines worth extracting |
| Harsh Truths | Uncomfortable realities that resonate |
Step 3: Generate 50 Categorized Statements

---

---
Category Flexibility:
- Skip categories if the reference material doesn't contain relevant content
- Quality over forced quantity
- Redistribute effort to stronger categories
Step 4: Generate 10 Creative Wildcards
Generate 10 additional statements that:
- Are based on your own creativity

- Model tweets that already perform well
- Are the most engaging statements you can create
Focus on:
- Maximum engagement potential

- Shareability
- Emotional resonance
Step 5: Apply Psychological Triggers
Incorporate these triggers across all statements where appropriate:
| Trigger | Implementation | Examples |
|---------|----------------|----------|
| Time-bound promises | Create urgency and specificity | "In 30 days...", "This week...", "By tomorrow..." |
| Transformation language | Promise change and growth | "Become...", "Transform...", "Unlock...", "Level up..." |
| Exclusivity framing | Create insider feeling | "Most people won't...", "The 1% know...", "Few understand..." |
| Status elevation | Appeal to aspiration | "Separate yourself...", "Join the elite...", "Rise above..." |
Step 6: Create Contrasting Elements
Build tension and intrigue through:
| Technique | How to Apply | Example |
|-----------|--------------|---------|
| Modest inputs β Dramatic outputs | Pair small effort with big results | "10 minutes a day β completely different life in 6 months" |
| Unexpected combinations | Juxtapose surprising elements | "Laziness is a skill. Master it strategically." |
| Counterintuitive approaches | Flip conventional wisdom | "Work less, earn more. Here's how." |
