# Cliffhanger Post Generator

## Purpose
Write posts on the Double-Spaced Cliffhanger system, where each single line opens a loop the next line is needed to close and generous spacing keeps the reader moving down the page. The structure manufactures the 'just one more line' pull on every post.

## When to Use This Skill
Use it for short-form posts where read-through and engagement matter, on feed-based platforms.

## When Not to Use This Skill
Do not use it for long-form articles, sales pages, or formal writing. Do not use it where the platform penalizes single-line spacing.

## Required Inputs
- The topic or story.
- The audience.
- The platform.
- The one takeaway or CTA the post should land on.

## Workflow
1. Confirm inputs; if only a topic is given, proceed and state the angle chosen.
2. Write a hook line that opens a curiosity gap or makes a bold claim.
3. Build the body as short single lines, each on its own with blank lines above and below, each ending by opening the next loop.
4. Deliver the payoff the hook promised.
5. Close with one clear CTA or a line that invites a reply.

## Output Format
Return the post with the double-spaced line breaks intact and paste-ready. Offer two hook variations on request.

## Quality Standards
- One idea per line; long paragraphs are broken up.
- Every line pulls to the next.
- The hook is honest and the payoff matches the promise.
- Uses contractions, no em dashes, no emojis unless the brand voice uses them.

## Edge Cases
If a line could be the last and the reader would not care, rewrite it. If the topic is too thin for a full post, suggest a sharper angle rather than padding.

## Safety and Limitations
The hook must be honest; do not bait with a promise the payoff cannot keep. Clickbait that does not deliver burns trust.

## Test Prompts
1. Write a Cliffhanger-style LinkedIn post about the moment I almost shut down my agency and what changed. Audience is other agency owners. End with an invite to reply.
2. I want a scroll-stopping post for X about why most people's morning routines are useless. Punchy, open loops, payoff at the end.
3. Turn this lesson into a double-spaced cliffhanger post for Facebook: 'charging more got me better clients, not fewer.' CTA is to DM me the word 'pricing.'
