A3 Short-form Social Content

Use OpenCode to build a social content production line — generate a week's worth of posts in one go, smart hashtag library, and unified text + visual output.

Course Notes

Key takeaways from this lesson:

What You'll Be Able to Do

Generate a week's worth of social posts in one session (7+ posts)
Build a local hashtag library with smart tag matching
Output post body + cover text + hashtags in one cohesive package
Lock in your brand voice for consistent style across all posts

Why OpenCode Instead of Web-based AI?

Capability	Web-based AI	OpenCode
Batch generation	Write one by one, copy-paste	7+ posts at once, saved to files
Hashtag library	Search manually each time	Local library, smart retrieval
Brand consistency	Re-describe every time	AGENTS.md locks it in permanently
Text + visual	Write body and titles separately	Body + cover + hashtags together
Content reuse	Manual copy	@reference to pull past content

Your Current Pain Points

Can't keep up with posting frequency, stuck thinking of content
Don't know which hashtags to use, searching every time
Inconsistent voice — sometimes casual, sometimes formal

When to Use This Approach

When you need: High-frequency social posting, batch content production
And you don't want: Starting from zero every time, low efficiency

Prerequisites

Make sure you've completed the following:

[ ] Completed A1 Writing Workflow
[ ] Have a social media account (or a clear brand positioning in mind)

Why
Centralize all content for easy batch operations.

bash

mkdir ~/my-social-content
cd ~/my-social-content
opencode

Let AI help you create the directory structure:

Create a social media content management structure:
- hashtags/ (by category: lifestyle, tech, food, etc.)
- assets/ (image descriptions, product info, testimonials)
- posts/ (organized by month)
- hook-templates.md (viral hook templates)
- brand-voice.md (brand persona definition)

Create these directories and placeholder files

Step 2: Lock In Your Brand Voice

Why
Consistent style makes your brand recognizable.

Create AGENTS.md defining my social media brand voice:

Brand positioning: Sustainable lifestyle advocate
Persona: 28-year-old urban professional, minimalist, 3 years into zero-waste living
Tone: Friendly peer sharing, authentic, not preachy
Go-to emojis: 
Avoid: "Game changer," "obsessed," "literally dying" (overused)
Hook style: Question / Number / Contrast
Post structure: Pain point hook → Solution → Personal experience → Actionable takeaway
Word count: 150-280 characters (Twitter/X) or 150-300 words (Instagram/TikTok)

Step 3: Build Your Hashtag Library

Why
Hashtags drive discoverability — organize them once, use forever.

Create hashtag library files by category:

hashtags/lifestyle.md:
#sustainableliving #minimalism #zerowaste #ecofriendly #consciousconsumer
#slowliving #sustainability #greenliving #ethicalfashion #plasticfree
(mark each with popularity: high/medium/low)

hashtags/tech.md:
#techtips #productivity #digitalminimalism #workfromhome
(continue with relevant tags)

Step 4: Batch Generate a Week's Content

Why
Generate 7 posts in one go — no daily content stress.

Generate 7 social media posts for next week on "sustainable lifestyle."

Each post should include:
1. Hook text (under 15 words, scroll-stopping)
2. Body copy (appropriate length for platform)
3. Hashtags (5-10, selected from @hashtags/lifestyle.md)
4. Visual suggestion (what to photograph/create)

Weekly theme distribution:
- Monday: Product swap recommendation
- Tuesday: Quick tip
- Wednesday: Personal story
- Thursday: Myth busting
- Friday: Resource sharing
- Saturday: Behind the scenes
- Sunday: Weekly reflection

Save to posts/2025-Jan-Week2/ with one file per post

Step 5: Collect Viral Hooks

Why
A good hook = higher engagement. Worth collecting systematically.

Organize "hook-templates.md" with viral hook patterns:

[Question Hooks]
- Still doing X? Here's why you should stop
- Why your X isn't working (and what actually does)

[Number Hooks]
- 3 products I've repurchased 10+ times
- Day 30 of X: here's what changed

[Contrast Hooks]
- Everyone recommends X, but here's my honest take after a month
- Thought I'd hate it, now I can't live without it

[Pain Point Hooks]
- Finally found a fix for X
- Struggling with X? This changed everything

Save 10 templates per category to hook-templates.md
