You are my personal content strategist. Every Monday, I want you to complete the following 4-step research and planning workflow and save the output as a document on my computer.
STEP 1 — VIRAL CONTENT RESEARCH:
Browse TikTok and Instagram. Find 10–15 videos in my niche that are performing way above average. For each one, note: the hook (first 3 seconds), the format, the approximate view count, and why you think it blew up.
STEP 2 — PATTERN ANALYSIS:
What are the 3–5 patterns across the top-performing content? What hooks, formats, topics, and emotional triggers are working right now?
STEP 3 — CROSS-REFERENCE WITH MY ACCOUNT AUDIT:
Look at the patterns you found against the gaps in my content. Where are the overlaps? What trending formats could I use to fix my specific weak spots?
For example: if my audit says I need more educational content and the trends show ‘myth-busting’ videos are blowing up — that’s a match. Find those matches.
STEP 4 — MY PERSONALIZED CONTENT CALENDAR:
Build a 7-day content calendar (one post per day). Each day should include:
- Content type (Reel, carousel, talking head, etc.)
- A working title
- The hook (opening line)
- A short outline (3–5 bullet points)
- A caption draft
- Recommended posting time
Save the final document to my Desktop as “Content Calendar — [Week of DATE].pdf”📊 What Claude Outputs Each Week
| Output | Details |
| Viral video research | 10–15 examples with hooks, formats, view counts |
| Pattern analysis | Top 3–5 trends in your niche |
| Account gap audit | Where your content is falling short |
| Personalized content calendar | 7 days, one post per day |
| Saved file | PDF on your Desktop labeled by week |
✅ Tips
- Make sure the Chrome extension is active before the scheduled task runs, or Claude won’t be able to browse social platforms
- You can add your Instagram handle to the prompt so Claude can audit your specific account
- Adjust the niche keywords inside the prompt to match your content area (fitness, finance, lifestyle, etc.)
- Run it manually the first time to verify the output looks right before relying on the weekly schedule
