<task>
Create a complete Instagram content package for [topic, product, launch, or campaign] that is optimized for the [goal: awareness, engagement, follower growth, or conversions] objective.

</task>

<context>
Brand or account: [brand name and one-line description]
Target audience: [audience profile, including age range, interests, and pain points]
Primary goal: [specific outcome, e.g., drive clicks to link in bio]
Brand voice: [e.g., warm, witty, premium, quietly confident]

Relevant proof points: [testimonial, statistic, feature, or offer details]
</context>

<constraints>
1. Open every caption with a first-line hook of 125 characters or fewer that creates curiosity, tension, or a clear benefit.
2. Keep each caption scannable: short paragraphs, 1-2 relevant emojis, and a single line break between thoughts.
3. Use a natural, conversational voice that sounds like a real person, never corporate filler or generic hype.
4. Include one clear, specific call to action per caption, tailored to the stated goal.
5. Weave in the provided proof points naturally; do not invent facts, statistics, or results.
6. Provide at least three distinct creative angles, such as educational, emotional storytelling, social proof, or contrarian take.
7. Flag any caption that could read as promotional with a one-line note on how to soften it while keeping the message intact.
8. Respect all brand guidelines provided in [brand guidelines or style guide].
</constraints>

<format>
Return the output in this structure:

Caption Set [number]: [angle name]
- Format: [Reel, carousel, single image, or story]
- Caption: [hook + body + CTA]
- Hashtag set: [5-8 relevant hashtags]

Then close with a short section titled "Posting Notes" containing 2-3 lines on timing, cross-posting, and how to measure success for the stated goal.

Confident, warm, and genuinely helpful. Write the way a great creative partner would present options: clear, opinionated, and ready to publish.
