gabrielmoreira Quote Card Skill
The best quote in a testimonial or interview is usually buried in a paragraph. This skill finds it, tightens it to its sharpest form (without changing the meaning), and formats it as a clean quote card with attribution — built to export as an image via 🖼️ Save as image in the playground.
Required Inputs
Ask for these only if they aren't already provided:
- The source text — the testimonial, review, interview transcript, or passage.
- Attribution — name, title, company (whatever is known and approved to use).
- Angle (optional) — what you want the quote to emphasize (results, ease, trust, speed).
- Length limit (optional) — if it's for a specific format.
Output Format
Quote card
"[The tightened pull-quote — the single most compelling line, edited for punch, meaning intact.]"
— [Name], [Title], [Company]
(Light editing is fine — trimming filler, joining two adjacent sentences. Use an ellipsis … for removed middles and [ ] for any inserted word. Never change what they meant.)
Alternate pulls (2–3) — other strong lines from the source, each with attribution, so they can choose the angle.
Editing note — exactly what you trimmed or adjusted from the original, so it can be approved against the source.
Caption — a one-line lead-in for the post body beside the image.
Quality Checks
- The main quote is the genuinely strongest, most specific line in the source
- Edits tighten without distorting meaning; cuts marked with
…, insertions with[ ] - Attribution is complete and matches what was provided
- 2–3 alternates give a real choice of angle
- The editing note lets someone verify the quote against the original
- Short and punchy enough to look great as an exported card
Anti-Patterns
- Do not fabricate or embellish a quote — only use words that are in (or faithfully trimmed from) the source
- Do not change the meaning to make it punchier — fidelity over flash
- Do not pick a generic line ("It's great!") when a specific, vivid one exists
- Do not hide your edits — the editing note must reflect every change
- Do not invent attribution — use only what's given, flag what's missing
