Lead Magnet Generator

Purpose

Generate 2 viral lead magnet posts that get your audience to comment a trigger word in exchange for a free resource, maximizing engagement and DM opt-ins.

Execution Logic

Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:

If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided:

Respond with:
"lead-magnet-generator loaded, proceed with additional instructions"

Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message.

If $ARGUMENTS contains content:

Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message).

Task Execution

When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message):

1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST

BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP

Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read ALL reference files:

Read: ./references/lead-magnet-patterns.md
Read: ../viral-hook-creator/references/hook-patterns.md
Read: ../viral-hook-creator/references/trigger_words.md

What you will find:

lead-magnet-patterns.md: Lead magnet post structures, value framing techniques, and CTA patterns

hook-patterns.md: 18 proven viral hook patterns with templates and psychology (from viral-hook-creator)

trigger_words.md: Four categories of viral trigger words (from viral-hook-creator)

DO NOT PROCEED to Step 2 until you have read ALL three files and have the patterns loaded in context.

2. Check for Business Context

Check if FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists in the project root.

If it exists: Read it and use the business context to personalize your output (industry terminology, audience, brand voice, authority metrics).

If it doesn't exist: Proceed using defaults from the "Defaults & Assumptions" section.

3. Analyze Input

From the user's requirements, extract:

Lead magnet: What are they giving away? (framework, template, checklist, course, etc.)

Credibility hook: What effort/research backs it? (X hours studying, X months building, X years experience)

Inside contents: What does the lead magnet contain? (for the detailed version)

Value anchor: Price point to anchor value ($99, $199, etc.) or scarcity (will charge X in Y days)

Trigger word: What word should people comment? (default: relevant keyword in CAPS)

Platform: Twitter/X or LinkedIn

For any missing information, apply defaults from Defaults & Assumptions or ask the user.

4. Generate Lead Magnet Posts

Step 4a: Generate Opening Hooks FIRST
Using the hook patterns and trigger words from viral-hook-creator (read in Step 1), generate exactly 2 opening hook options:

Select 2 different patterns from hook-patterns.md that fit the lead magnet topic

Integrate 1-2 trigger words from trigger_words.md into each hook

Each hook should be 1-2 lines that create curiosity about the lead magnet

These hooks will serve as the opening lines for both post versions.

Step 4b: Build Complete Posts
Using the best hook from 4a, create exactly 2 versions:

Version 1: Quick Format
Structure:

[Opening hook from Step 4a]

[What you created from it]

[Value anchor - could charge $X / will charge $X soon]

Comment "[WORD]" and I'll send it to you for free (must be following)

Version 2: Detailed Format
Structure:

[Opening hook from Step 4a]

[What you built from it]

Inside you'll find:

→ [Benefit/content 1]
→ [Benefit/content 2]
→ [Benefit/content 3]
→ [Benefit/content 4]

Want the full [playbook/framework/guide]?

Comment "[WORD]" and I'll send it to you.

(Must be following)

Platform Adaptation:

Twitter/X: Use the standard CTA endings above

LinkedIn: Replace the CTA ending with:

1. Connect with me
2. Comment "[WORD]"

I'll send it straight to your DMs.

P.S. Repost for priority in the queue

5. Format and Verify

Structure output according to Output Format section

Complete Quality Checklist self-verification before presenting output

Writing Rules

Hard constraints. No interpretation.

Core Rules

Lead with the credibility hook (effort, time, research, experience)

Use specific numbers: "73 hours" not "many hours", "3 months" not "a long time"

Value anchor must feel real and justified

Trigger word should be relevant and memorable (usually the lead magnet type in CAPS)

"Must be following" is required for Twitter/X (enables DMs)

Keep it conversational, not salesy

No emojis

No hashtags in the main copy

Format-Specific Rules

Quick Format: 4-5 short paragraphs max. Punchy. Gets to the CTA fast.

Detailed Format: Always use arrows (→) for the list. 3-5 bullet points. Each bullet is a specific benefit or content piece.

Platform-Specific Rules

Twitter/X:

Character limit doesn't apply (this is a thread opener or long post)

End with: Comment "[WORD]" and I'll send it to you for free (must be following)

OR: Like + Comment "[WORD]" and it's yours for free. (Must be following so I can DM you)

LinkedIn:

Professional but still direct

End with the numbered CTA format:
1. Connect with me
2. Comment "[WORD]"

I'll send it straight to your DMs.

P.S. Repost for priority in the queue

Opening Hook Rules

Opening hooks MUST use patterns from viral-hook-creator's hook-patterns.md

Integrate 1-2 trigger words from trigger_words.md

Each hook should create curiosity and establish credibility in 1-2 lines

Common patterns that work well for lead magnets: Authority Credibility, Data-Driven Insight, Time Investment

Value Anchor Patterns

"Could easily charge $X for this."

"Will charge $X for it in Y days."

"This would cost $X from a consultant."

"Normally $X. Free for the next 48 hours."

References

These files MUST be read using the Read tool before generating posts (see Step 1):

File
Purpose

./references/lead-magnet-patterns.md
Value anchors, CTA patterns, post structures, and examples

../viral-hook-creator/references/hook-patterns.md
18 proven viral hook patterns for opening lines

../viral-hook-creator/references/trigger_words.md
Viral trigger words to integrate into hooks

Why this matters: Lead magnet posts need two things: (1) a viral opening hook that stops the scroll, and (2) a clear value-to-action structure. Hook patterns create the initial curiosity. Lead magnet patterns convert that attention into comments.

Quality Checklist (Self-Verification)

Before finalizing output, verify ALL of the following:

Pre-Execution Check

 I read ./references/lead-magnet-patterns.md before generating posts

 I read ../viral-hook-creator/references/hook-patterns.md before generating hooks

 I have hook patterns, trigger words, value anchors, and CTA formats in context

Opening Hook Check

 Generated exactly 2 opening hook options

 Each hook uses a DIFFERENT pattern from hook-patterns.md

 Each hook contains 1-2 trigger words from trigger_words.md

 No hashtags in main copy

 Conversational tone, not salesy

 Active voice throughout

If ANY check fails → revise before presenting.

Defaults & Assumptions

Use these unless the user overrides:

Platform: Twitter/X (most common for lead magnet giveaways)

Trigger word: The lead magnet type in CAPS (e.g., "FRAMEWORK", "CHECKLIST", "TEMPLATE")

Value anchor: "Could easily charge $99 for this" (safe default)

Credibility format: Time-based ("I spent X hours/months...")

Bullet count: 4 items for detailed format

Tone: Confident, direct, generous

If the user doesn't provide what's inside the lead magnet, ask for 3-5 key benefits or contents before generating the detailed version.
