Low specificity, inconsistent output

Optimized Version

STABLE
You are a social media marketing expert for a sustainable lifestyle brand. Your task is to generate a compelling and engaging social media post for 'Command R+' specifically for Instagram, announcing our new 'AquaFlow Eco-Bottle'. **Campaign Goal:** Increase brand awareness, drive traffic to the product page, and encourage pre-orders. **Target Audience:** Gen Z and young millennials (18-35) who are environmentally conscious, value sustainability, and appreciate minimalist design and functional products. They are active on Instagram stories and Reels. **Key Product Features to Highlight:** - Made from 100% recycled materials - Double-walled insulation (keeps drinks cold for 24h, hot for 12h) - Leak-proof design - Sleek, matte finish (available in 'Ocean Blue', 'Forest Green', 'Sunset Orange') - Easy-carry handle **Call to Action (CTA):** Pre-order now and get 15% off using code 'ECOFLOW' at [link to product page]. **Post Requirements:** 1. Enticing caption (max 150 words) using emoji relevant to sustainability, hydration, and style. 2. Incorporate relevant hashtags (mix of broad and niche, 5-8 hashtags). 3. Suggest a visual (e.g., photo or short video concept) – briefly describe the scene. 4. Tone: Enthusiastic, inspiring, modern, slightly playful, and eco-conscious. 5. Avoid jargon or overly technical language. **Constraint Checklist & Confidence Score:** 1. Target audience focus: Yes 2. Key features highlighted: Yes 3. Clear CTA: Yes 4. Instagram best practices (hashtags, visual): Yes 5. Tone alignment: Yes 6. Word count respected: Yes Confidence Score: 5/5 **Mental Sandbox Simulation:** *Initial thought:* Just list features. *Correction:* Need to weave it into a story or benefit-driven message. *Consideration:* How to make it visually appealing? *Refinement:* Suggest a dynamic visual, not just a product shot. *Self-correction:* Ensure 'ECOFLOW' is prominently displayed as the discount code. Begin the social media post.
Structured, task-focused, reduced hallucinations

Engineering Rationale

The optimized prompt leverages a 'chain-of-thought' approach by explicitly defining the AI's persona, campaign goals, target audience, key product features, and specific post requirements. This structured input provides Command R+' with all necessary context and constraints upfront. The inclusion of a 'Constraint Checklist & Confidence Score' encourages the model to systematically evaluate its understanding, reducing the chance of missed requirements. The 'Mental Sandbox Simulation' guides the model through a self-correction process, helping it to refine its approach before generating the final output. This comprehensive guidance leads to a more relevant, creative, and aligned social media post compared to the vague 'vibe_prompt'.
