image-prompt
Use as the foundation and router for any image a post needs — turn a social need into a clear image brief, describe it with model-agnostic prompt craft, and route to the right tool. Run when the user says "I need a visual/image for this post," "what image should I use," "make a graphic," "help me prompt an image," or is unsure which image tool/model to use. Reads brand-profile for the visual brand. Teaches the image brief, the universal anatomy of a strong prompt in natural language, and a tool router (typographic - ideogram/nano-banana; photoreal - nano-banana/flux; surreal - Midjourney; editing - nano-banana/flux; vector - Recraft; video - veo-3). Includes a "should this even be AI-generated?" gate (a real photo, screenshot, or chart often beats generic AI), accessibility, and honest scope (disclose AI, never real identifiable people or copyrighted IP, verify text/data). Hands off to the tool-specific mini-skills; WoopSocial publishes via Media and doesn't generate images.

Image Prompt (brief · craft · router)
The foundation of the visual cluster. When a post needs an image, this skill decides what image
(the brief), describes it with model-agnostic craft, and routes to the right tool — then hands
off. It sits above the tool-specific mini-skills (nano-banana, ideogram, flux,
veo-3), which own their model's specific tricks.
Think of it as the visual equivalent of brand-profile/content-pillars: the shared decision layer
the tool skills assume you've already worked through.
Step 0 — Gate: should this even be AI-generated?
AI generation is one option, not the default. A real photo (your actual product/space/team), a
screenshot, UGC, or a chart often wins on authenticity and clarity — and AI must never
fabricate your real people/place. Reach for generation when you need something that doesn't exist, must
match a brand look, needs legible in-image text, or a consistent series — and no real asset fits. If a
real asset is better, say so. (See references/the-image-brief.md.)
Step 1 — Write the brief
Read brand-profile.md, then answer four things: job/purpose (hero / explainer / quote graphic /
product / lifestyle / thumbnail / background / ad), the one thing it must convey, format/aspect
ratio for the destination, and the brand look. Output a one-line brief. See
references/the-image-brief.md.
Step 2 — Describe it (model-agnostic)
Turn the brief into a specific, natural-language prompt — subject · composition · lighting ·
colour · style · mood · detail · constraints — and drop quality-token spam ("4k, masterpiece").
Specificity beats length; design for any text overlay (negative space, contrast). See
references/prompt-anatomy.md.
Step 3 — Route to the tool
Pick by the image's dominant requirement:
- Text / typographic →
ideogramornano-banana(both strong — honest pick by tooling). - Photoreal portrait/product →
nano-bananaorflux(Midjourney external). Surreal/painterly → Midjourney. - Editing ("change one thing, keep the rest") →
nano-banana(conversational) orflux(Kontext). - Consistent character/product set →
nano-banana(multi-image references) orflux(multi-reference). - Search-grounded infographics →
nano-banana. Brand-exact hex / open weights / license control →flux. - Vector/SVG → Recraft. Video →
veo-3.
When two fit, say both work and pick by the deciding factor — don't fake a winner. See
references/choosing-the-tool.md.
Step 4 — Hand off, then ship
Hand off to the tool's mini-skill for model-specific craft (and tools/integrations/<tool>.md for
the API). After generation: verify in-image text/data, disclose AI per platform/region, then
upload to WoopSocial Media → attach via scheduling-and-queue. WoopSocial publishes; it doesn't
generate.
Cross-cutting (always)
- Disclose AI per platform/region (Meta "Made with AI", EU AI Act). Watermark behaviour varies by tool (SynthID on Google tools; none enforced on Ideogram) — don't rely on it for disclosure.
- No real people / no IP — no real identifiable individuals, copyrighted characters, or trademarked logos; original directions only.
- Verify in-image text and data before publishing.
- Accessibility — contrast + legibility on mobile; leave room for overlays.
Quality bar — self-check
- Did I gate (real asset vs AI) before generating?
- Did I write a brief (job + the one thing + format + brand) and a specific, natural-language prompt (no token spam)?
- Did I route by the dominant requirement with an honest which-tool read, and hand off?
- Did I design for overlays/accessibility, and cover disclosure, IP, and verification?
- Did I keep WoopSocial honest (publishes via Media; doesn't generate)?
Edge cases & pushback
- "Just write a cool image prompt" → build the brief first; purpose before prompt.
- "4k masterpiece ultra-detailed" → rewrite into a specific scene; drop quality tokens.
- "Generate my real cafe/staff" → use a real photo; don't fabricate real people/place.
- "Base it on [studio]'s characters" / a real person → refuse IP/real people; original direction.
- "Which model — A or B?" → honest, tooling-based answer; both can be right.
- "Generate it in WoopSocial" → WoopSocial doesn't generate; route to a tool, then upload + attach.

short-form-video-script
social-media-skills/skills
The master craft of scripting short-form vertical video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) for watch-through. Use when someone wants a short-form video script, a Reel/TikTok/Short script, help with hooks, retention, pacing, the ending/loop, sound-off captions, or fixing early drop-off. Watch-through, not likes, rules short-form; the script's only job is to be un-skippable. Uses the WATCH framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first; pulls the 'what' from the content-angle skills and the hook from hook-writer. The agent writes the script (spoken lines + on-screen text + beat/shot direction + hook variants + CTA); the human shoots/performs/edits; WoopSocial publishes the finished file. Routes platform specifics to reels-script / tiktok-script / youtube-shorts; pairs with talking-head-and-piece-to-camera. NEVER bait-and-switches the hook or fabricates a stat. Distinct from hook-writer, captions-and-clipping, and ai-video/veo-3/heygen (which generate the video this scripts).
hook-writer
social-media-skills/skills
Use to write the hook — the opening that earns attention — for any social content: a caption's first line, a video's first three seconds, a carousel cover slide, a thread opener, a YouTube title, or an email subject. Run when the user says "write a hook," "hook for this," "opening line," "first three seconds," "cover slide," "make this scroll-stopping," or when good content keeps getting ignored. Reads brand-profile and voice first so hooks sound like the brand, not viral-bait templates. Hooks must be TRUE to the content that follows — this skill extracts the hook from the post's strongest element and never overpromises. For full captions use caption-writer; for full video scripts use the video skills. This writes the opening itself.
brand-profile
social-media-skills/skills
Use FIRST, before any other social media skill, to load or create the brand profile — the durable record of who a business is, who it serves, how it sounds, and what it will and won't say. Run this when the user says "set up my brand," "brand profile," "brand guidelines," "define our brand voice," "onboard," "get started," when work begins for a new business or client, or any time another social skill needs brand context that isn't already loaded. Works for ANY business: B2B SaaS, ecommerce, local and small business, agencies and their clients, personal brands and creators, and nonprofits. For writing actual posts, see the content skills; to derive a voice from an existing body of writing, use voice-builder; this skill only builds the shared context they all read.
reels-script
social-media-skills/skills
Use to write an Instagram Reels script — a native, sound-off-first short-video script optimized for Instagram's discovery engine, built around a 3-second hook, watch-through, and sends (DM shares). Run when the user says "Reels script," "Instagram Reel," "make a Reel," "Reel hook," "trial reel," or wants short-form video for Instagram specifically. Reads brand-profile and voice first; writes the muted version first; structures for watch-through + sends; places IG-search keywords; picks original vs trending audio (trending audio is added natively in-app — not via WoopSocial); briefs the cover frame; outputs a production doc (shot - on-screen text - spoken - audio - timing) plus a Veo prompt pack for faceless/b-roll shots. The generic scripting craft lives in short-form-video-script; for TikTok use tiktok-script; for Shorts use youtube-shorts; hands the caption to caption-writer, publishing to instagram-reels-publishing, and scheduling to scheduling-and-queue.
viral-reverse-engineering
social-media-skills/skills
Use to reverse-engineer why a piece of content went viral (or overperformed) — yours or someone else's — and extract the repeatable mechanism to apply to your own content. Run when the user says "why did this go viral," "break down this viral post/video," "reverse engineer," "what made this work," or wants to learn from viral content. Sources the observable signal first (intake, transcript, screenshots, top comments, visible stats — an agent usually can't watch a video from a link) and never fabricates what it can't see. Reads brand-profile and audience first, deconstructs the piece layer by layer, isolates the real driver, runs a replicability check, extracts the transferable principle, and applies it to the user's niche via the content skills. Mechanism, never a copy; flags non-replicable virality; visible signals only (no WoopSocial analytics). Single-POST teardown only: for the account-level competitive landscape use competitor-analysis; for riding a live trend use trend-jacking.
instagram-growth
social-media-skills/skills
Use to grow an Instagram account — the Instagram-specific growth strategy that diagnoses where growth is stuck (reach, follow-conversion, retention, or shares) and orchestrates the other skills to fix it. Run when the user says "grow on Instagram," "Instagram growth," "get more followers/reach on Instagram," "my Instagram isn't growing," "Instagram strategy," or wants more reach/followers on IG. Reads brand-profile, social-strategy, and audience first. Built on the 2026 reality that Instagram is a discovery engine where watch time and sends (DM shares) drive non-follower reach. Diagnoses the broken stage of the growth loop and routes to the right skill (reels-script, carousel-writer, profile-optimization, content-calendar, hashtag-strategy, trend-jacking). Judges via native Instagram Insights — not WoopSocial analytics — and treats follower count as vanity.
