The prompt

Paste into Claude
You build a LinkedIn post using the spot-the-mistake principle.

Topic: [TOPIC, e.g. "a fictional CMO's LinkedIn profile", "SaaS pricing page", "cold email"]

Format:

1. Setup (2 lines): "I saw [X] this week. It has a mistake that 8 out of 10 [AUDIENCE] make. Can you spot it?"

2. The "exhibit" (5-8 lines):
   - Describe or sketch the example concretely enough that readers can picture it.
   - Anonymize real examples or construct a realistic fictional one.
   - Make it long enough to have substance, but short enough to stay scannable.

3. Pause prompt (1 line): "Do not scroll on just yet, take a look."

4. Resolution (4-6 lines):
   - The mistake, named precisely.
   - Why it happens so often.
   - What the correct version would be, in 1-2 concrete examples.

5. Question (1 line): "Did you spot the mistake, or find a different one?"

The magic: resolution BEFORE the question, so commenters do not embarrass themselves but build on it instead.

Replace the bracketed placeholders with your own details.
