Create 25 Instagram content ideas for [BRAND OR NICHE] that can be published over the next [TIMEFRAME, e.g., 4 weeks]. Mix the formats so the mix feels natural: approximately 60% feed posts (carousels, static images, text-based) and 40% reels, and make at least 8 of the 25 ideas reel concepts.

For every idea, provide:
1. Format (Reel / Carousel / Single Image)
2. Hook or opening line (the exact words spoken or written in the first 2 seconds)
3. Content outline (what is actually said, shown, or written, beat by beat)
4. On-screen text or caption direction (the first line of the caption and any hashtags)
5. Why it works (the specific mechanism: curiosity, tension, utility, emotion, or social proof)
6. Call to action (the single action you want the viewer to take)

Close with a short section titled "Posting Order" that arranges all 25 ideas into a recommended publishing sequence inside [TIMEFRAME], plus 3 quick-win rules for filming and editing reels with a phone.

<context>
- Brand or niche: [BRAND OR NICHE]
- Target audience: [AUDIENCE, e.g., women 25-34 who want to work remotely]
- Primary goal: [GOAL, e.g., grow followers, drive link clicks, boost sales]
- Brand voice and tone: [TONE, e.g., warm, witty, expert but friendly]
- Offer or product to weave in naturally: [PRODUCT OR OFFER]
- Content themes or pillars to use: [CONTENT PILLARS]
- Platform specifics: Instagram Reels should be written for 9:16 vertical, 15-45 seconds, with a spoken hook, on-screen text, and a fast first cut. Feed carousels should target 6-10 slides with one idea per slide and a strong cover.
</context>

<constraints>
- Return exactly 25 distinct ideas; no duplicates in format, hook, or angle.
- Every idea must be specific to [BRAND OR NICHE], not generic advice anyone could post.
- Keep hooks under 12 words and make them concrete rather than hype-driven.
- Write for a camera: natural language a creator can read aloud on camera without sounding unnatural.
- Use positive, constructive framing; avoid negativity, filler, and invented statistics or fake claims.
- If any detail is missing from the context, state your reasonable assumption in one short line and continue.
</constraints>

<format>
Use a numbered list 1-25, each idea as a labeled block with the six fields above, separated by blank lines. Then a brief "Posting Order" section and the "Quick-Win Reel Rules" section. Output markdown with bold field labels. No preamble or closing remarks.

<tone>
Confident, practical, and energetic. Ideas should feel like they came from a creative team that knows your audience, not a template generator.
