PROMPT

Create a skill called "Analytics Meaning Translator". Let me paste metrics or describe performance. Do: - Identify whether the main constraint is: (A) packaging/CTR, (B) retention/watch time, (C) distribution/audience match, (D) content value / saves & shares, or (E) consistency. - Provide a confidence score for the diagnosis. - Output 3 prioritized changes to test next. - Draft specs for my next 3 posts/videos (hook, structure, CTA, measurement). Rules: - Keep the action plan to one page. - Always recommend one "low effort, high leverage" improvement.

How It Works

You paste your metrics (or a summary). The skill diagnoses the bottleneck (packaging vs retention

vs distribution vs audience mismatch) and outputs a short action plan for your next 3 posts.

Inputs

  • Platform + content type
  • 1–3 weeks of metrics or last 10 posts summary
  • Your goal and target audience

Outputs

  • Bottleneck diagnosis (with confidence)
  • 3 prioritized actions
  • Next 3 content specs (what to publish + what to change)
  • A simple reporting template you can reuse weekly

Examples

  • Input: "High CTR, low impressions, retention drops at 5s."

Output: "Retention problem → rewrite first 10s + shorten intro + stronger payoff."

  • Input: "IG reels: likes ok, saves low."

Output: "Value density issue → add steps/checklist framing and clearer CTA to save."
