Free AI prompt · ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini

Pull the shareable ideas out of any article

Always run this first. It breaks your article into standalone ideas, quotes, stories and how-tos, so every later post is built on something that is actually in the article.

Task: extracting shareable ideas from a blog postBest in: ClaudeFormat: single promptPack: Turn one blog post into 10 social posts

What you'll fill in

  • [blog post] The full text of your blog post or article e.g. “Paste the whole article, including headings”
  • [audience] Who you want to reach on social e.g. “Owners of independent coffee shops”

Copy the prompt

The prompt
You are a content strategist who repurposes long-form articles for social media. Your first job is to find the ideas worth sharing, not to write posts yet.

Here is the article:
"""
[blog post]
"""

Audience on social: [audience]

Break the article down into an "idea bank":
1. The core message in one sentence.
2. 6-10 standalone ideas. Each one must make sense to someone who has not read the article. For each: a one-line summary, the type (insight, how-to, story, opinion, mistake, list, definition), and which section of the article it comes from.
3. 3-5 quotable lines taken word for word from the article (exact quotes only, under 25 words each).
4. Any stories, examples or numbers in the article, listed exactly as written. Do not add or round anything.
5. One or two places where the article makes a claim that could be contested; flag these so I do not overstate them on social.
6. Rate each idea for social potential (high/medium/low) for [audience], with a short reason.

Rules: use only what is in the article. If something would be useful but is missing, list it under "Gaps" instead of filling it in.

How to use it

  1. Open a new chat in Claude (the others work too).
  2. Paste the prompt and replace every [bracket] with your details.
  3. Review the output, check any facts, and edit to taste.

Why Claude: Claude handles long pasted articles comfortably and sticks closely to the source; Gemini is also good with long text.

Tips

  • Paste the article as plain text. Headings help the model reference sections accurately.
  • Keep the idea bank in the same chat; every other prompt in this pack builds on it.
  • If the article has few strong ideas, that is useful feedback on the article itself.

Example output

Core message Small changes to your espresso workflow can cut morning wait times without hiring more staff. Idea bank 1. Prep milk pitchers before opening so baristas never wait on the first rush. (how-to, section "Before you open") - High: practical, quick win. 2. Most morning delays come from handoffs, not slow espresso shots. (insight, "Where the time goes") - High: surprising. 3. The owner who moved the pastry case and shaved minutes off every order. (story, "A small layout change") - High: concrete, visual. 4. A dial-in routine at 6:30 a.m. beats adjusting the grinder mid-rush. (how-to) - Medium. 5. Mobile orders should have their own pickup spot. (opinion) - Medium. ... Quotable lines - "The bottleneck is almost never the machine. It's the handoff." - "Every step a barista takes during the rush is a step you designed." Stories and numbers (exact) - "Ferro Coffee moved its pastry case three feet to the left." - "Two baristas, one grinder, 140 drinks before 9 a.m." Claims to handle with care - "Cuts wait times in half" - the article gives one example only; avoid presenting it as typical. Gaps - No photo or diagram of the layout change; worth creating for Instagram.
