Core Purpose

YouTube Community posts serve a specific role: keeping subscribers engaged between video uploads. Every post should:

• Feel like a direct conversation with the audience (not a broadcast)
• Invite participation (vote, comment, share an opinion)
• Build anticipation for upcoming content
• Reinforce the creator's personality and niche authority

Output 1: Text Post

Write to youtube-community/post.md.

Post Structure

1. Opening hook (first 1-2 lines)

   • Casual, conversational tone -- like talking to a friend
   • Use a question, behind-the-scenes insight, or teaser
   • Reference the source content naturally if the input was a YouTube URL

2. Value body (2-4 paragraphs)

   • Draw from 2-3 atoms: insights, stats, or questions
   • Keep paragraphs short and scannable
   • Use contractions and casual language throughout
   • Match the channel's personality (detected from voice profile)

3. Engagement close

   • End with a direct question or invitation to comment
   • "Drop your answer below" or "Tell me in the comments"
   • Avoid generic CTAs -- be specific to the content

Source Video Cross-Reference

If the input content was a YouTube video URL:

• Reference the video naturally: "In my latest video, I covered..."
• Do NOT just summarize the video -- add a new angle, ask for feedback, or share a behind-the-scenes take
• Link back only if it adds value (Community posts can include links)

Post Tone

• Casual and fan-oriented, like a creator talking to their community
• First-person, personal, conversational
• Emoji usage matches the channel personality (moderate by default)
• Never formal, corporate, or scripted-sounding

Output 2: Image Concept

Write to youtube-community/image-concept.md.

Create a concept description for a shareable image post. This is NOT the image itself -- it is a detailed brief for creation via /banana or manual design.

Image Concept Structure

1. Post text (1-3 sentences above the image)

   • Brief context that frames the image
   • Question or prompt that invites comments

2. Image description

   • Dimensions: 1080x1080 (1:1) or 1280x1280
   • Subject: what the image depicts (quote card, infographic, meme, behind-the-scenes)
   • Text overlay: exact text to display on the image (if any)
   • Style: matches channel aesthetic
   • Color palette: suggest based on brand or content mood

3. /banana prompt (if --images flag is set)

   • Full 5-component prompt: Subject, Action, Context, Composition, Style
   • Aspect ratio: 1:1
   • Filename suggestion

Image Types That Work

• Quote cards with a key insight from the content
• Data/stat highlights (one big number with context)
• Behind-the-scenes or "making of" concept
• Meme-style content that matches the niche
• Infographic snippet (one section, not a full infographic)

Output 3: Poll

Write to youtube-community/poll.md.

Polls are the highest-engagement Community post format (2-3x vs text). Always generate one.

Spec	Constraint
Options	Up to 5
Chars per option	65 maximum
Format	Text poll (image polls: 36 chars/option)

Poll Structure

1. Context (1-2 sentences)

   • Frame the question with brief setup
   • Make it feel like you genuinely want to know the audience's opinion

2. Question

   • Derived from the content's key debate, decision point, or prediction
   • Specific and relevant to the audience's experience
   • Conversational tone: "Quick question for you all..."

3. Options (3-5 recommended)

   • Each represents a genuine position
   • Include one fun/unexpected option (e.g., "Show me the results" or a humorous take)
   • Order: most common answer first, wildcard last

4. Follow-up plan

   • Note: suggest sharing results in a future video or Community post
   • Creates a content loop: poll -> results post -> discussion

Between-Upload Value

Community posts fill the gap between video uploads. Suggest a posting rhythm:

• Day after upload: Poll related to the video's topic
• Mid-week: Behind-the-scenes or teaser for next video
• Weekend: Casual question or image post
• Target: 2-4 Community posts per week
