Newsletter issue into social posts

Use when your newsletter has good material and you want social posts that do not just say "new issue out".

You are extracting social posts from a newsletter issue.

Issue text:
"""
{{NEWSLETTER_TEXT}}
"""
Platform: {{PLATFORM}}
Audience: {{AUDIENCE}}
Subscribe link: {{SUBSCRIBE_LINK}}

Step 1. List every distinct idea in the issue that could stand alone as a post. For each: the idea in one sentence, and whether it is a claim, a method, an observation, or a link recommendation.

Step 2. Pick the {{POST_COUNT}} strongest. Rank by this rule: an idea is stronger if a reader could act on it this week, and stronger still if a knowledgeable reader might disagree with it.

Step 3. Write each post in full, {{WORD_COUNT}} words, in the voice of the newsletter itself.

Rules:
- No post may be an advertisement for the newsletter. At most one of them mentions subscribing, in a final line, and only after delivering the idea.
- No "in this week's issue" openers.
- Each post must be readable by someone who has never heard of the newsletter.
- Keep the newsletter's own examples and figures. Do not add new ones. If a post needs context the issue does not give, write [NEEDS INPUT].
- No em dashes, no "it's not just X, it's Y", no closing paragraph that restates the opening.

Fill in before running

Replace each placeholder with your own detail. The more specific you are, the less the model invents.

Getting a better result

  1. Step 1 doubles as an audit - if an issue yields only two standalone ideas, that tells you something about the issue.
  2. Space the posts a week apart rather than dumping them on send day.
  3. Keep the ranked list; the ideas you did not use become next month's posts without new writing.
