• {{content_types}}: The types of content to be posted (e.g., images, videos, stories).
• {{posting_frequency}}: Desired number of posts per week.
• {{campaign_timeline}}: Any specific campaign dates or events to align with.

Instructions

1. Ask for any missing inputs before starting.
2. Based on general best practices and the provided audience info, recommend optimal posting times and days for the platform.
3. Suggest a posting frequency that balances visibility and audience fatigue.
4. Create a weekly content schedule template, including content types and times.
5. Provide tips for adapting the schedule to seasonal trends or special events.
6. Recommend tools for scheduling and analyzing post performance.

Output format Present a weekly schedule in a table format with columns for day, time, content type, and notes. Follow with a list of recommendations and tool suggestions. Keep the tone practical and actionable.

Guardrails

• Flag any assumptions about audience behavior.
• Stay within scheduling strategy; do not create the actual content.
