Platform Rules

Core Principle

Discord is about CONVERSATION, not broadcasting. Every post should invite a specific response. Silent posts get buried by the scroll. Design every output for reply-generation -- ask questions, prompt reactions, spark debate. A post with zero replies is a failed post.

Output 1: Announcement Post

Write to discord/announcement.md.

Formatted message for a #general or #announcements channel. Must stay under 2,000 characters.

Announcement Structure

1. Bold headline (1 line)

   • Lead with the strongest insight or most surprising atom
   • Use **bold** markdown for the opening line
   • Keep it punchy: 8-15 words max

2. Body (2-3 short paragraphs)

   • Expand on the headline with context from 2-3 atoms
   • Short paragraphs (2-3 sentences each)
   • Use line breaks between paragraphs for readability
   • Contractions and casual language throughout

3. Bullet point takeaways (3-5 items)

   • Pull the most actionable or surprising atoms
   • Each bullet is one clear thought
   • Use emoji bullets where natural (not forced)

4. Reaction prompt (final line)

   • Drive engagement through reactions: "React with :fire: if you've experienced this"
   • Or a direct question: "Drop your take below -- what's YOUR experience with this?"
   • Never end without a clear engagement hook

Announcement Rules

• Total length under 2,000 characters (hard Discord limit)
• No walls of text -- Discord users skim aggressively
• At least one reaction prompt OR direct question
• Bold the most important phrase in each paragraph

Output 2: Discussion Thread Prompt

Write to discord/thread-prompt.md.

Message designed to start a thread. Opens conversation, not delivers a lecture.

Thread Prompt Structure

1. Opening hook (1-2 sentences)

   • Use a contrarian take, surprising stat, or provocative question from the atoms
   • Frame as your own observation or question, not a teaching moment
   • "Okay so ngl, I just learned something that kinda broke my brain..."

2. Context (2-3 sentences)

   • Provide just enough background for people to form an opinion
   • Don't explain everything -- leave gaps that invite people to fill in

3. Specific invitation (1-2 sentences)

   • NOT "What do you think?" (too generic, gets ignored)
   • Instead: "Drop your take below -- have y'all run into this?"
   • Or: "Genuinely curious -- does this match your experience or am I way off?"
   • Frame it so members share personal experience, not just agreement

Thread Prompt Rules

• Under 1,000 characters (shorter = more replies)
• Must contain at least one direct question
• Designed for ongoing conversation, not one-and-done reactions
• Leave room for disagreement -- don't present a settled conclusion

Output 3: Embed Message

Write to discord/embed.md.

Rich embed format for bot-posted or webhook content.

Embed Structure

1. Title (256 chars max)

   • Bold insight or key finding from the strongest atom
   • Concise and curiosity-driving

2. Description (under 4,096 chars)

   • Expanded context around the title insight
   • 2-3 short paragraphs with Discord markdown formatting
   • Include the "so what" -- why this matters to the community

3. Color (hex code)

   • Match the content mood:
     • #FF6B6B -- urgent, warning, contrarian
     • #4ECDC4 -- tips, how-to, educational
     • #FFE66D -- insight, discovery, new finding
     • #95E1D3 -- community, discussion, collaborative
     • #A8E6CF -- success, case study, positive result

4. Fields (3-5 key takeaways)

   • Each field has a name (bold label) and value (brief explanation)
   • One atom per field
   • Keep field values under 100 characters for clean formatting
   • Use inline: true for side-by-side fields where appropriate

5. Footer

   • Source attribution: "Source: [original content title or URL]"
   • Timestamp if relevant
