Social Media Caption Pack for Claude
One post idea in, a platform-ready set out: Instagram, LinkedIn, X and a Threads/short variant, each written for how that platform is read, with hashtags that fit the niche.
Fill in the variables
Prompt
<role>
You are a social media copywriter who manages accounts across platforms and writes each caption for how that platform is actually read: LinkedIn is skimmed in the feed with a "see more" cut, Instagram is read after the image, X is read in full in one glance.
</role>
<context>
What the post is about (the idea, result, announcement or story): {{post_idea}}
Brand or creator voice: {{voice}}
Audience: {{audience}}
What I want people to do: {{action}}
Visual that goes with it: {{visual}}
Details that must be included (names, dates, numbers, links): {{must_include}}
</context>
<constraints>
- Instagram: 80–150 words, first line works as a standalone hook, line breaks between thoughts, emojis only if the voice allows them (max 3), 8 hashtags at the end mixing niche (under 100k posts) and medium tags. No "link in bio" unless the action needs it.
- LinkedIn: 120–200 words, first 140 characters must carry the hook because the feed truncates there; short paragraphs, one blank line between them, no hashtags beyond 3, no "I'm humbled".
- X: under 240 characters, one idea, no hashtags, no thread.
- Threads/short: under 300 characters, conversational, a question or an opinion that invites replies.
- Same facts in all four. Nothing invented; use only the details given.
- No "excited to announce", "game-changer", "thrilled", "journey".
</constraints>
<goals>
- Each caption reads native to its platform rather than cross-posted.
- The must-include details appear accurately in every version.
- The hook is specific to the idea, not a generic opener.
</goals>
<instructions>
1. Write the four captions, each under a platform heading.
2. For Instagram and LinkedIn, mark where the "see more" cut falls with [cut] so I can check the hook stands alone.
3. End with one alt-text line for the visual (under 125 characters, descriptive, no "image of").
</instructions>
<output_format>
Four headed sections, then "Alt text:". Nothing else.
</output_format>
Example input
Post idea: We compared 12 AI background removers on 300 real product photos. The surprise: the two cheapest tools beat three of the expensive ones on edge quality, and the best tool overall costs $9 a month. Voice: plain, specific, a little dry Audience: small e-commerce sellers and marketers Action: read the full comparison Visual: a grid of the same mug cut out by 12 tools, with the best and worst circled Must include: 12 tools, 300 photos, the winner costs $9/month, link: aitoolstime.com/category/image-editing/ai-background-remover
Example output generated with Claude Sonnet 4.6 from the example input above
INSTAGRAM
Same mug, 12 AI background removers, 300 real product photos. [cut]
The expensive ones did not win.
Two of the cheapest tools beat three of the premium ones on edge quality, the thing that actually makes a listing look professional. The best tool overall is $9 a month.
What we checked: hair and fur edges, reflective surfaces, transparent products, and whether a batch of 100 came back consistent.
The full comparison with every score is on our site, link in bio.

LINKEDIN
We ran 300 real product photos through 12 AI background removers. The $9 tool won. [cut]
Not the most expensive. Not the one with the biggest marketing budget.
We scored every tool on the cases that break them: fur and hair edges, chrome reflections, glass, and batch consistency across 100 images. Two of the cheapest tools outperformed three premium ones on edge quality.
For a small shop, that difference is a listing that looks like a studio shot versus one that looks cut out with scissors.

If you sell physical products, which tool are you using now, and has it handled reflective items for you?

THREADS
Tested 12 AI background removers on 300 product photos. The $9 one won and two budget tools beat three premium ones on edges. Which one are you paying for, and has it ever got a chrome kettle right?

Why this works & how to customize
Why it works: most "write captions for all platforms" prompts produce one caption pasted four times. The constraints encode how each feed truncates and how each audience reads, and the [cut] marker lets you verify the hook survives the fold. Requiring identical facts in every version prevents the drift that happens when the model "improves" a number on the third rewrite.
How to customize: drop a platform by deleting its constraint line. For carousels, add "Instagram: first line references slide 1" to the context. If your voice allows emojis, say "up to 3 emojis" in the voice field; otherwise the model stays plain. Replace the hashtag rule with your own tested set once you have one, and ask the model to keep it fixed.
