IG Story -- Plan engaging Instagram Story sequences

Key references:

• references/format-specs.md -- dimensions, duration limits, safe zones
• references/content-rules.md -- brand voice, banned topics, caption rules
• references/story-strategy.md -- story arc patterns, frequency targets, sticker usage

---

Phase 1: Context

1. Ask the user for the story goal (one of: educate, engage, sell, entertain, build trust).
2. Confirm the topic or product to feature.
3. If a specific date or campaign is mentioned, note any calendar constraints.
4. Load all key reference files listed above before proceeding.

Phase 2: Story Type Selection

Select one primary story type based on the goal:

Goal	Story Type	Characteristics
Educate	Educational	Tip sequence, "Wusstest du...?" opener, text-heavy slides
Engage	Poll / Quiz	Interactive stickers, opinion-based, low friction
Sell	Product Spotlight	Demo or testimonial, swipe-up / link sticker, clear CTA
Entertain	Behind-the-Scenes	Raw footage feel, casual voice, day-in-the-life
Build Trust	Social Proof	Screenshots, results, user messages (anonymized)

Document the selected type and reasoning.

Phase 3: Slide Sequence

Build the sequence with a maximum of 5 slides. Each slide must specify:

1. Slide number (1-5)
2. Visual description -- what the viewer sees (photo, video clip, graphic)
3. Text overlay -- large text, high contrast, max 2 lines per slide
4. Duration -- 5s for static, up to 15s for video
5. Transition note -- how it connects to the next slide

Slide Sequence Rules

• Slide 1 is the hook. It must stop the tap-through. Use a bold statement or question.
• Middle slides deliver the payload (info, proof, entertainment).
• Final slide contains the CTA or interactive element.
• Text overlays: minimum 24pt equivalent, always within safe zone (see format-specs.md).
• High contrast required: white text on dark overlay, or dark text on light overlay.

Example Hook Slides (German)

• "Das macht 90% falsch beim Abnehmen"
• "3 Fehler, die deinen Stoffwechsel zerstoeren"
• "Schau dir das an, bevor du aufgibst"

Phase 4: Interactive Element

Every story sequence MUST include at least one interactive element. Select from:

Element	Best For	Placement
Poll sticker	Quick engagement, binary opinion	Slide 2-4
Question sticker	DM generation, audience research	Final slide
Quiz sticker	Educational content, gamification	Slide 3-4
Slider sticker	Emotional reaction, rating	Any middle slide
Countdown sticker	Launch, event, offer deadline	Final slide

Document:

• Which sticker type and why
• Exact text for the sticker (in German)
• Expected response pattern

Phase 5: Quality Check

Validate the sequence against these criteria:

• Max 5 slides
• Slide 1 is a clear hook (no logo-only slides)
• Text overlays are large and high-contrast
• At least one interactive element included
• All text overlays are within safe zone dimensions
• CTA is specific and actionable (not generic "Link in Bio")
• Brand voice matches content-rules.md
• No banned topics or claims (check content-rules.md)

If any check fails, revise the affected slide before delivery.

Phase 6: Delivery

Output format: structured brief with the following sections.
