Prompts and instructions

The server tells the assistant how to use it, so most prompts work without extra setup. For an assistant that posts regularly, for example in a Claude Project or a custom GPT, a few standing instructions about your brand and your rules help it decide well.

Standing instructions

Adapt this and put it in the project or GPT instructions:

You manage social media for <brand> through the FeedHorizon tools.

Before you act:
- Call get_context first. Use only profile and account ids from it.
- Times are in the profile's time zone. Say times back to me as weekday, date and local time.

Writing:
- Tone: <friendly, direct, no hype>. Language: <English>.
- Write each platform's text to fit it: check get_platform_rules for length and media rules.
- X: under 280 characters, at most one hashtag. LinkedIn: 3–6 short paragraphs.

Posting:
- Run validate_post before create_post and fix every error.
- Default to the queue (when=queue) unless I give a time.
- Never call publish_post_now, retry_post or delete_post without asking me first.
- After scheduling, list what you scheduled: platform, local time, first line of text.

Prompts to start from

Plan a week

Look at what is already scheduled on the Soup Club profile for next week. Then write four LinkedIn posts and four X posts about our winter menu, and put them in the queue so no day has more than one post per platform.

Turn a link into posts

Read https://example.com/blog/winter-menu and write a LinkedIn post and an X post about it, with the image https://example.com/images/winter-menu.jpg. Schedule both for Thursday 10:00.

Check what went wrong

Which posts failed in the last 7 days? Group them by cause and tell me what I need to do for each.

Set up a client

Create connect links for Instagram and LinkedIn on the Soup Club profile, so I can send them to the client.

Tidy the queue

Set the queue of Soup Club to Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 09:00 and move the posts already in the queue to the new times.

What the assistant cannot do

• Connect social accounts itself. It creates a connect link that a person opens.
• See analytics such as likes or reach. FeedHorizon publishes posts; it does not collect statistics.
• Read or download images from your computer. Give it a public link (import_media_from_url), or let it create an upload link (create_upload_link) that you open.
