Skywork Prompt Template

THE TWO-TOOL ORDER — never skip and never swap

  Claude    drafts and structures   shot list, on-screen text, end card, captions
  Skywork   renders                 places YOUR images and YOUR words on a timeline

  Draft first. Render second. The render tool does not author words.


THE CLAUSE THAT ENDS EVERY PROMPT

  Claim nothing I have not told you. No timescales, no percentages,
  no guarantees, no awards, no customer counts.

  A guarantee you did not make is one a customer can hold you to.


1. REEL FROM THREE PHOTOS  (Claude, then Skywork)

  I have three photos from one job: [service] in [city].
  Photo 1 the problem, photo 2 the work happening, photo 3 the result
  from the same angle as photo 1.

  Give me a 20-second vertical reel structure:
    - shot list with a duration per photo
    - one line of on-screen text per shot, six words maximum
    - end card: business name, service, city, call to action
    - captions for GBP, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok
  <the clause>

  Then to Skywork: 9:16 vertical, <=20s, the three photos in order with
  those durations, that on-screen text verbatim, that end card verbatim.


2. PLATFORM CAPTION RULES  (these differ more than people expect)

  Google Business Profile  150-300 chars   NO hashtags   friendly, local,
                                                          subtle "free quote",
                                                          1-2 emojis
  Facebook                 similar         NO hashtags   conversational
  Instagram                150-300 chars   5-8 hashtags  visual-first,
                                           on a new line  describe the change
  TikTok                   short           3-5 hashtags  punchy, niche + broad

  Hashtags on a GBP post do not help and read as spam.
  Hashtags on Instagram are how anyone finds you.


3. THE OTHER SHAPES

  Seasonal promo, and turning a good review into a post, are the same
  two-tool order with a different opening shot. Once you have run the
  reel prompt above, they are variations on it.

  Two rules carry across and are not optional:
    - never name a customer, and never quote a review word for word
    - the clause ends every prompt, every time


BEFORE IT POSTS — every time

  [ ] any claim you did not make?        -> re-render, do not talk yourself into it
  [ ] house number, plate, or face?      -> crop BEFORE upload, not before
                                            publish. The upload licence is
                                            irrevocable; deleting the reel
                                            does not take it back.
  [ ] customer named or quoted verbatim? -> paraphrase
  [ ] right platform, right hashtag rule?

  The first costs money. The second costs trust.

WORKED EXAMPLE — gutter clean, Woodburn, three photos

Claude returns:

  SHOT 2  6.0-13.0s  photo 2   "Cleared by hand, start to finish"
  SHOT 3  13.0-20.0s photo 3   "Flowing again before the rain"
  END CARD           On Top Home Services - Gutter Cleaning - Woodburn, OR

  GBP        Gutters packed solid in Woodburn - cleared by hand and flowing
             again before the rain sets in. Free quotes any time. [emoji]
             (no hashtags)

  Instagram  Packed to the brim, then clear. This Woodburn gutter run took
             one visit and it is ready for the wet season.
             #Woodburn #GutterCleaning #PNWHome #BeforeAndAfter #SalemOregon

  TikTok     Packed solid -> clear in one visit [emoji]
             #GutterCleaning #HomeImprovement #CleaningTok

Skywork gets: 9:16, 20s, those three photos in that order, those durations,
that on-screen text verbatim, that end card verbatim.

You watch the 20 seconds before anyone else does.
