The content-prompt skill: one question worth answering on camera
TL;DR
content-prompt gives you one question to answer on camera, plus the moment from your own life the video draws from, five hook options with a text overlay for each, and a follow CTA. Clone the repo, copy one folder, type /content-prompt, hit record.
The hard part of short-form isn't filming. It's standing there at 9pm with the camera up and nothing to say, because you're trying to think of a topic instead of remembering something that happened to you.
content-prompt flips that. It reads your profile, finds a real moment from your own story that lines up with what your audience is stuck on right now, and hands you one question that opens the door to it. Then five hooks, a text overlay for each, and the one it recommends with a reason.
The question is the door. Your story is the video. That's the whole design, and it's why these come out sounding like you instead of like advice.
Finds a real moment from your story, turns it into one question to answer on camera, and writes five hooks for it. Free, one folder.
Install the content-prompt skill
Clone the repo, then copy this folder into your Claude Code skills directory.
bashgit clone https://github.com/duncan-buildroom/freeskills.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r freeskills/content-prompt ~/.claude/skills/Start a new Claude Code session and it's live. That's the whole install. No API keys, no config.
Run it the first time
Type /content-prompt. It reads ~/.claude/brand-profile.md, picks one of four content lanes, and looks for a moment in your story that maps onto what your audience is going through. If your profile is thin on real moments, it asks you for one and saves the answer back so you only tell it once.
What comes back: the question, the story seed, why now if it's tied to something live, the so what, then five hooks with a text overlay under each, and a line telling you which hook to use and why. It ends with a follow CTA. Nothing gets saved to a file here, the output is what you read and act on. A good first result makes you go oh, I could talk about that for a minute, before you've thought about it.
Get tonight's video in one message
The plain version. Run it, read the question, hit record. Don't script the answer, just talk.
/content-prompt
I'm filming one short video tonight for [TikTok / Reels / Shorts]. Give me the question and the hooks.Point it at a moment you already want to talk about
If there's a story sitting in your head, hand it over. The skill builds the question around it instead of picking one for you.
/content-prompt
Use this moment as the story seed: [what happened, when, what it cost you or what surprised you]. My audience is [who] and what they're stuck on is [their pain]. Build the question around that story.Get the one tied to something happening right now
It can go and look for live friction in your field first, then find the piece of your story that speaks to it. Only worth it when you've actually lived the thing being argued about.
/content-prompt
Make it timely. Search for what people in [your field] are arguing about or frustrated by this month, then find the moment in my story that speaks to it. Category: [new tool that just dropped / making money / getting seen / doing more with less].The 60-second version
Here's what this skill does and why it matters, in the time it takes to say it.
- 1Hook: there's a brand new free Claude skill that takes you from standing there with the camera up and nothing to say, to one question worth answering and five hooks already written for it.
- 2Mechanism: it starts from your brand profile, your audience, what they're stuck on, and the real moments from your own story. It picks a category, finds the moment in your life that speaks to what your audience is going through, and turns that into one question worth answering on camera. You get the question, the story seed underneath it, five hooks in five different shapes with a text overlay for each, and a straight call on which hook to use.
- 3Transformation: filming stops being the thing you put off. You get a question, you talk for a minute about something that actually happened to you, and it's done before the kettle boils.
- 4Close: the question is free, one of 55 skills. If you want to still have something to film in three months, Claude Code Club is 9 dollars a month. Link below.
Tonight: install it, run it once, and film the answer before you overthink it. One take is fine. Nobody watches your first hundred videos anyway, so they may as well be honest.
Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Three lines in the terminal copy the folder, then you type /content-prompt and read what comes back.
Is it really free?
Yes. One folder in a public repo. No API keys, no account, nothing to pay on top of Claude Code.
What if I don't have a story worth telling?
You do, it's just not written down yet. A mistake you corrected, a belief you had to drop, a result that came out worse or better than you expected. If your profile is thin, the skill asks you for one real moment and saves it, so the next run already has it.
Will it make things up about me?
No. Every story seed comes from your profile or from an answer you gave it. If there's nothing real to draw from, it asks you rather than inventing something.
Does it save the output anywhere?
No. It prints the question, the story seed, the five hooks with overlays, and the CTA in your session. Copy the hook you're using into your notes and film it.
