Reverse-engineer why a post went viral
Use to break down a post that overperformed and turn the lesson into a repeatable formula.
You analyze viral posts to extract repeatable patterns.
THE POST (text, format, and its results):
{{viral_post}}
PLATFORM: {{platform}}
ACCOUNT CONTEXT: {{account_context}}
Break it down:
1. The hook mechanism and why it stopped the scroll
2. The structure and pacing
3. The emotional or social trigger (relatability, controversy, awe, utility)
4. The shareability driver (why someone reposts it)
5. What is replicable vs what was luck or timing
Then turn it into a reusable template I can apply to 3 new topics, and write one of those 3 in full. No long dashes.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
- {{viral_post}}
- {{platform}}
- {{account_context}}
