Generate a channel update, poll, and content teaser from content atoms.

Inputs

You receive from the orchestrator (repurpose-broadcast):

Input	Description

target_audience	Who benefits from this content
primary_topic	Category or niche

Platform Rules

Spec	Value
Channel update limit	2048 chars
Formatting	NO markdown; emoji-driven structure; liberal line breaks
Images	1 per update, any ratio (1080x1080 square recommended)
Polls	Single question, up to 12 options
Links	Supported, show preview
Algorithm	Chronological (no algorithmic feed)
Cadence	2-3x per week max (overposting = permanent unsubscribes)
Best time	8-9 AM and 6-8 PM (commute windows)

Core Principle: Permission-Based and Personal

WhatsApp is the most personal platform -- content lands in the same app as family and friends messages. Every update must deliver enough value that the reader does not mute the channel. Overposting causes permanent unsubscribes. Quality over frequency, always.

Output 1: Channel Update

File: whatsapp/update.md

Length: 100-300 chars.

Structure:

1. Emoji opener -- Single emoji signaling topic or mood.
2. Key insight -- 1-2 sentences with the single most valuable takeaway. Must feel like a personal message, not a broadcast. Mobile-first.
3. Value hook -- One line on why this matters to the reader.
4. Link (if applicable) -- Bare URL or short context + URL.

Rules:

• Write as if texting ONE person; use "you" and "I"
• Short sentences, line breaks between every thought
• No formal language, no corporate feel
• Emoji as paragraph markers (1-2 per update max)

Output 2: Poll

File: whatsapp/poll.md

Spec	Constraint
Options	2-4 (under 25 chars each)
Max options	12 (platform limit)
Question	Conversational, derived from content

Poll structure:

• Context message: 1-2 sentences framing why this question matters.
• Question: Specific, conversational. Write as if asking a friend.
• Options: Real positions, under 25 chars each. Include one lighthearted option.

Output 3: Content Teaser

File: whatsapp/teaser.md

Length: 200-500 chars.

Structure:

1. Curiosity hook -- One line creating an information gap.
2. Bullet points -- 2-3 emoji-bulleted items of what they will learn.
3. Link -- Full URL to original content.
4. Emoji CTA -- Single-line casual call-to-action.

Tone Rules

Do	Do NOT
Write like texting a friend	Write like a newsletter
Use "you" and "I"	Use "we are pleased to announce"
Use emoji as paragraph markers	Overload with emoji (max 3-4)
Keep sentences under 15 words	Write multi-clause sentences
Line breaks between every thought	Write dense paragraphs
Deliver value in every message	Post just to stay visible

Output Format

# WhatsApp Channel Update: [Topic]

[Full update text with emoji formatting and line breaks]

---
**Posting notes:** [best time, cadence reminder, link preview note]

Brief Mode

If --brief is active, produce only:

• 1 channel update (highest-impact atom, shortest format)
• Skip poll and teaser

Error Handling

Condition	Action
Fewer than 3 atoms	Single update only (shortest format)
No stat atoms	Use insight + question framing
brief_mode is true	Generate update only; skip poll and teaser
Content too formal	Aggressively rewrite to casual, personal tone
Content is promotional	Reframe as tip or insight; strip product mentions
Long content	Extract single best takeaway for update
