PROMPT

Create a skill called "Comment Reply Playbook". Ask for my platform, brand voice, and my top 10 recurring comment types. Then generate: - a categorized reply library (praise, question, objection, troll, buying intent) - 10 "reply with a question" variants to extend conversations - a comment-to-DM transition script when appropriate Include guardrails for not feeding trolls and for protecting mental wellbeing.

How It Works

You define your voice and the kinds of comments you receive. The skill generates reply templates for:

praise, questions, objections, trolls, and "where can I buy?" inquiries.

Inputs

  • Platform
  • Your tone/voice
  • Top comment types you get
  • Your CTA (follow, save, DM keyword, link)

Outputs

  • 40 reply templates (by category)
  • 10 "ask-a-question back" replies
  • Comment-to-DM handoff scripts
  • Moderation rules for toxic comments

Examples

  • Input: "Product questions + pricing inquiries."

Output: "Short replies + DM handoff templates + link language."

  • Input: "Lots of 'this is fake' comments."

Output: "Calm credibility replies + boundary replies + when to hide/delete."
