The Claude Code prompt

Build a Social Media Scheduler web app. People search for "social media scheduler" about 7,300 times a month, plus related searches like "social media management tool", "auto post scheduler", "instagram scheduler". The goal is a tool that ranks for those searches and makes money.

What it should do:
Build a social media scheduler web app. Create a homepage with post composer supporting text, images, and links. Add platform selection (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) with preview for each. Include calendar view for scheduling posts and suggested optimal posting times. Build a content library for media storage and template system for recurring posts. Add analytics dashboard showing post performance metrics. Use social media-inspired colors with platform-specific branding. Focus on the post creation and scheduling flow first.

How to build it:
1. Read this folder first. If it is empty, set up Next.js (App Router, TypeScript, Tailwind). Write a short PLAN.md with the pages, components, any library or API you need, and what you are leaving for later. Then build.
2. Put the tool itself on the homepage so a visitor can use it within seconds, with no sign-up. Do the processing in the browser where you can, so it is fast and cheap to run. Look at how Hootsuite, Buffer, Later do it and make ours simpler and faster.
3. Make it rank. Use "social media scheduler" in the title tag, H1 and meta description. Under the tool, add a short how-to and an FAQ with FAQPage schema, and add a sitemap and robots.txt. Scaffold these programmatic pages from one template and a data file: /schedule-posts-for-[platform], /social-media-scheduler-[industry], /auto-post-to-[social-network].
4. Monetisation: Freemium: 10 posts/month, $15/mo unlimited + analytics. Add a pricing page and the free usage limit, and leave Stripe checkout as a clearly marked stub with the environment variables it needs.
5. Run it locally and test the main flow end to end, including edge cases like empty input and very large files. Fix what breaks, then finish with a summary of what works, what is stubbed and how to deploy it to Vercel.

Paste it into Claude Code in an empty folder. It plans first, so read PLAN.md and steer before it starts building.
