Batch-and-Calendar Planner
Build a 4-week content calendar in one session
Generates a realistic content calendar with batching days, filming lists, editing checklists, and post-level briefs. Designed for creators who feel overwhelmed juggling multiple platforms and apps.
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Batch-and-Calendar Planner". When run, ask me for platforms, cadence, pillars, constraints, and hours/week. Then generate: 1) A 4-week calendar (by week) listing: - platform, format, pillar, hook angle, CTA, creation date, publish date 2) A batching plan for the next session: - shot list, scripts (bullet scripts), b-roll checklist, prop list, location list 3) A repurposing map showing which posts can be adapted for other platforms. Constraints: - Must fit within my hours/week. - Must include at least 1 backlog buffer post per week.
How It Works
You provide your pillars, cadence, and constraints. The skill outputs a full 4-week calendar
(what to post + when to create it), plus a batching plan that avoids last-minute scrambling.
Inputs
- Platforms and cadence per platform
- Content pillars and recurring series ideas
- Launches/events (if any)
- Time budget per week
Outputs
- 4-week calendar (by platform + format + objective)
- One batching day plan (shot list + scripts + b-roll checklist)
- Post briefs (hook, CTA, caption angle, edit notes)
- Repurpose opportunities flagged automatically
Examples
- Input: "Instagram + LinkedIn, 3 posts/week each, 5 hours/week."
Output: "1 batch day, 6 posts/week mapped to 3 pillars, plus repurpose notes."
- Input: "TikTok daily is killing me."
Output: "3–4 posts/week with a backlog strategy and low-effort series."
