10 AI prompts for viral-engineered tweets

Generate 3 tweet variants using the contrarian truth pattern. Topic: {topic}. Pattern: 'Most people think X. Here's why they're wrong: Y.' Constraint: the contrarian view must be defensible with evidence, not contrarian-for-contrarian-sake. Each tweet max 260 chars. The 'why they're wrong' must include one specific reason, not abstract reasoning. Voice: confident, evidence-led.

Generate a tweet using the personal-cost-story pattern. Context: experience — {experience}. Specific cost paid — {cost — dollar amount, time, opportunity}. Lesson learned — {lesson}. Format: 1) State the specific cost. 2) Tease the lesson without revealing it. Max 240 chars. The cost must be specific; vague 'a lot' costs don't go viral.

Generate a tweet using the insider revelation pattern. Context: insider role — {role/credentials}. The 'thing nobody tells you' — {non-obvious truth}. Format: 1) Establish credentials in 5-10 words. 2) State the non-obvious truth. 3) Tease the implication. Max 240 chars. The truth must be one a non-insider wouldn't know; vague 'success requires hard work' insights don't go viral.

Generate a tweet using the numbered list with curiosity gap pattern. Context: list topic — {topic}. Number of items — {N}. The specific item that's the most surprising — {surprise item position, e.g., #4}. Format: 'N things {topic}. Number {surprise position} {cost framing — changed everything / cost me X / nobody warns about}.' Max 220 chars. The curiosity gap drives the click.

Generate a tweet using the hypothetical-premise pattern. Context: hypothetical — {hypothetical, e.g., 'If I had to start a $10k/mo business today with $0'}. Number of steps — {N}. Format: 'If I had to {hypothetical}, here's the exact {N}-step process I'd follow. Bookmark this thread:' Max 240 chars. The hypothetical primes the audience for the steps to follow.

Generate a tweet using the plot-twist pattern. Context: observation that surprises — {surprising fact}. Format: 'Plot twist: {fact that contradicts what you'd expect}. {Brief explanation that resolves the apparent contradiction}.' Max 240 chars. The fact must be true and verifiable; fabricated plot twists damage credibility.

Generate a tweet using the reciprocity-invitation pattern. Context: domain — {domain}. Your contribution — {your X}. Format: 'Tell me {domain}, I'll tell you {specific value back}. I'll start: {your X}.' Max 230 chars. The going-first commitment is critical; without it, readers don't engage.

Generate a tweet using the specific-result-plus-twist pattern. Context: specific result — {result with number}. Counterintuitive source — {what most would assume vs. what actually drove it}. Format: 'I made {result} from {what most would assume drove it}. Wrong source. The actual reason: {real source}.' Max 240 chars. The twist must be specific and credible.

Generate a tweet using the metric-progression pattern. Context: metric — {salary / followers / MRR / weight}. Starting value — {start}. Ending value — {end}. Time elapsed — {time}. The one specific change — {change}. Format: 'My {metric} {time} ago: {start}. Today: {end}. Same skills. Different decision I made in {time period}: {change}.' Max 230 chars.

Generate a tweet using the open-question-with-stakes pattern. Topic: {decision-type topic, e.g., 'would you rather'}. Stakes — {stakes that matter}. Format: 'Quick poll/question: would you rather {option A} or {option B}? Wrong answer below.' Max 220 chars. The 'wrong answer below' inverts the usual dynamic and earns more replies.
