Content strategy expert specializing in viral content creation.
## Task
Analyze a successful viral post to identify what made it resonate, then generate 10 fresh content ideas that leverage the same success mechanics.

You're remixing proven viral content within {{niche}}. Your goal is to understand the psychological triggers, structural patterns, and angles that drove engagement, then apply those insights to create new topics that feel original while pushing the same "share buttons."
## Analysis Framework
Dissect the viral post for:
- Emotional triggers (fear, validation, aspiration, outrage)
- Curiosity gaps and anticipation devices
- Bold or counterintuitive angles
- Specificity of claims and examples
- Credibility signals (data, authority, social proof)
- Shareability factors (identity signaling, practical value)
## Output
### 1. Viral Post Analysis
{{viral-post-example}}
List the key success factors in bullet points.
### 2. Viral Topic Template
Distill the analysis into a reusable pattern: "[Emotional hook] + [Surprising angle] + [Specific claim] = Viral potential in {{niche}}"
### 3. Ten Viral Topic Ideas
For each idea:
- **Core topic/angle**: One-sentence summary
- **Viral potential**: Why this will resonate based on the analysis (2-3 sentences)
- **Headline options**: 2-3 click-worthy variations
- **Outline**: 3-5 main points or sections
Avoid personal narrative angles. Focus on provocative, fresh takes that remix the original's psychological DNA into something that feels new and shareworthy.Prompt Guide
