Turn one piece of content into a week's worth of posts without it feeling recycled
Extract the different angles actually in your source instead of chopping one idea into five identical pieces.

- Anyone repurposing a long-form piece — a blog post, talk, or thread — across other formats or platforms.
The default way to repurpose content is to chop it — take five sentences from the original and turn each into a post. It's fast and it reads that way: five posts that are obviously fragments of one piece, saying a fraction of one idea each instead of a whole idea apiece. The actual skill in repurposing is finding the several genuinely different angles already latent in a piece of content — the contrarian claim, the practical how-to, the personal story behind it, the surprising data point — and building a real post around each one.
This prompt asks for that extraction before any post gets written, so the week's worth of content is five different reasons to care, not one reason said five times.
When not to use this
Works best on content with real substance — an argument, a process, a story — to extract angles from. A source that's already thin won't yield five genuine angles no matter how this is prompted; better to write one good post than force five mediocre ones out of it.
Did this work?
Each piece could stand alone as its own post — nobody who saw all of them would notice they came from one source, because each one leads with a different real idea, not a different sentence from the same idea.
