Draft a Skool community post from $ARGUMENTS.
What this does
Turns a video, topic, or rough idea into one clean Skool post: a scroll-stopping title and a short, plain-text body that reads like a real person, ending in a question that invites replies. Skool has no official posting API, so the output is a ready-to-paste draft (you post it, or pass it to Claude-in-Chrome).
Step 1: Detect the source
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
- YouTube package — a path like
~/content/youtube/<slug>/ or a slug. Read script.md, description.md, hooks.md, titles.md if present.
- Topic / URL — run 1-2
WebSearch queries for fresh, specific detail.
- Rough idea / raw text — use it as-is.
If empty or ambiguous, ask what the post should be about.
Step 2: Pick the post type
If not obvious from the request, ask (AskUserQuestion) which type:
- Value post — teach one useful thing, then ask a question
- Announcement — a new video / resource is live, with the link
- Discussion starter — a single sharp question to drive comments
- Win / story — a short real story that lands a lesson
Step 3: Write the post
Title (one line): specific and curiosity-driven, no hype words, no clickbait. Under ~80 chars.
Body:
- Plain text. No markdown headers, no bold, no em dashes.
- Short paragraphs, 1-2 sentences each, blank line between them.
- Conversational and human — write "I" and "you", not marketing voice.
- Lead with the hook, deliver one clear idea, keep it skimmable.
- If it points to a video/resource, put the link on its own line near the end.
- End with one easy-to-answer question (Skool rewards comments).
Follow BRAIN/tyler-voice.md if it exists in the user's content repo (no em dashes, no hype, honest, first person).
Step 4: Save + present
Save to:
- YouTube mode:
~/content/youtube/<slug>/social/skool.md (append if the file exists — do not overwrite other posts)
- Standalone mode:
~/social/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>/skool.md
Then show the title + body in chat so it can be copied. Offer a second variant or a shorter version.
Rules
- Never auto-post. Skool has no API here; this only drafts. If asked to actually post, use Claude-in-Chrome and confirm before publishing.
- One post per run unless asked for variants.
- Keep it genuinely useful — a Skool post that only sells gets ignored.
- No em dashes, no hype words, no fake numbers.
