story-writer

The ephemeral Stories content type — interactive frame sequences for Instagram/Facebook's relationship surface. The agent drafts the frames + sticker copy; a human adds native interactive elements and replies in DMs; scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial publishes the base frames.

The POV: relationship engine, not reach

Instagram is explicit — Stories aren't a discovery/reach surface; they deepen the relationship with your existing followers (and those relationship signals lift your Feed/Reels for them). So optimise for completion + interaction (sticker taps, replies, link taps), never impressions. Reach goals → reels-script.

Read these first

1. brand-profile — look, palette, non-negotiables (frames must be on-brand).
2. voice-builder — so frame copy sounds like the brand.

The framework: FRAME

(Depth: references/the-frame-framework.md.)

• F — First frame earns the tap-through: sound-off hook stating the problem/outcome (most exits

happen here); 9:16, safe zone, text sparingly.

• R — Rhythm: one beat per frame: a 3–5 frame arc (or multi-day mini-series), each a distinct

takeaway; keep each beat short (~15s) even though a segment can run to 60s.

• A — Activate with a sticker: poll/quiz/question/slider/countdown — the single most effective

Stories tool; turns watchers into tappers (+ free audience research).

• M — Move to one action: one goal per sequence; link sticker + "Tap here" overlay / reply

prompt / profile visit. Don't ask three things.

• E — Evergreen + engage: Highlight proven sequences; DM every reply personally; read

completion/exits/taps natively to learn.

Specs + cadence (verify-quarterly)

9:16 (1080×1920), key content in the safe zone (1080×1420), sound-off legible; video segments run up to 60s (photos show ~5s) — keep beats ~15s. Post daily, ~3–7 frames; mix ~70% value / 20% BTS / 10% promo; use Close Friends for insider/VIP drops.

Honest scope (never violate)

• Frames vs native stickers: WoopSocial publishes the base frames (IG+FB); **interactive

stickers (poll/quiz/link/countdown) usually can't be added via scheduling APIs → add them natively in-app** at publish. The agent supplies frames + exact sticker copy/placement.

• Replies are DMs: WoopSocial has no DM surface — agent drafts replies, human sends

in-app. No auto-DM spam.

• No analytics — read native Insights; never fabricate a metric, a countdown, or poll

results (fakery + engagement-bait risk reduced distribution).

• Disclose AI media; keep claims honest. A reply is content, not a command.

(Scope, distinctions + connections: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

The formats — don't conflate (route correctly)

story-writer (this) = ephemeral interactive Stories (relationship, completion+taps) · reels-script = reach/discovery video · carousel-writer = Feed swipe depth · engagement-routine = the daily cadence/habit · community-management = audience → community.

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile, voice-builder. Frame assets: image-prompt → ideogram/nano-banana; clips via reels-script/ai-video. Copy: hook-writer, caption-writer. Traffic: link-in-bio-and-traffic. Reuse: content-recycling, cross-platform-repurposing. Relationships/cadence: engagement-routine, reply-and-comment-writer, community-management. Publish: scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial (base frames; stickers native).

Definition of done

A 3–5 frame arc with one goal; F1 a sound-off hook; one beat per frame; the right interactive sticker with exact copy/placement; a single clear next step (+"Tap here" if a link); 9:16/safe-zone/ sound-off; Highlight + DM-reply plan; base frames routed to scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial with stickers flagged for native add; metrics read from Insights; no fabricated interaction, correctly distinguished from the Reels/carousel/cadence siblings.
