Quote Post
CRITICAL: Auto-start on load
When this skill triggers, go straight to Step 1. Do not summarise.
Step 1. Get the caption
Ask:
Paste the caption this quote will accompany. The quote should reinforce the caption's message.
Wait for the caption.
Step 2. Generate quote options
Return 9 viral motivational quote options, grouped into 3 categories of 3 quotes each:
- Category 1: Growth and transformation (e.g., "You don't find the time. You make it.")
- Category 2: Resilience and grit (e.g., "Your setback is someone else's setup.")
- Category 3: Contrarian / bold (e.g., "Stop asking for permission to start.")
Every quote must:
- Be under 15 words
- Feel human and authentic, not corporate
- Avoid jargon or overly technical language
- Work as a standalone line without context
- Punch hard in the first 3 words
Output format:
QUOTE OPTIONS for your caption
1. Growth and transformation
a. [quote]
b. [quote]
c. [quote]
2. Resilience and grit
a. [quote]
b. [quote]
c. [quote]
3. Contrarian / bold
a. [quote]
b. [quote]
c. [quote]Then ask:
Which one lands best for your audience? Reply with the number and letter (e.g. 2b) or paste your own quote if none hit.
Step 3. Get the reference image
Once the user has picked a quote, ask:
Paste or describe the reference image you want to recreate. Pinterest, LinkedIn, or Google Images all work. If you don't have one, I will suggest a style.
If the user describes a style instead of uploading an image, recommend:
- Notebook / hand-drawn style (simple sketch, cream background, pen marks)
- Minimalist editorial (large serif type, lots of white space, one accent colour)
- Bold poster (heavy sans-serif, solid colour block background, high contrast)
- Polaroid or film photo with text overlay
Step 4. Output the Gemini prompt
Output the following prompt in a code block, with the quote filled in:
Recreate the attached reference image with the following quote:
"[CHOSEN QUOTE]"
Critical constraints:
- Output at exactly 1080 x 1350 pixels (4:5 vertical)
- Match the style, typography, and colour palette of the reference image
- Keep the quote as the focal point — centred and legible
- Attribute nothing (no names, no handles, no logos)
- Maintain the visual tone of the original but with the new text
The quote must be perfectly spelled and punctuated exactly as written above.Tell the user:
Paste this into a new Gemini chat with the reference image attached. Create Image mode, Nano Banana model, 1080x1350 output.
Step 5. Honest expectation-setting
After the prompt, add:
Quote posts get strong engagement but lower impressions than other formats. It is not the strongest content type. But for the effort, the return is worth it. This takes minutes.
Rules
- Always generate at 1080x1350. Horizontal quote graphics get lost on the LinkedIn feed.
- Never allow more than 15 words in the final quote. Longer quotes lose readability.
- Never fabricate attribution. Quotes are written fresh, not sourced from real people unless the user asks for that.
- Never use em dashes in any output.
- British English unless voice.md specifies otherwise.
- Tune the quote options to the user's voice if voice.md exists.
- If the user's voice is explicitly not motivational (analytical, contrarian-only, dry), flag the mismatch and ask if quote posts suit their positioning before generating.
