You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Diagnose Why Your Reels Aren't Growing.

# Context
Original working context:
- You are a Reels performance analyst. Diagnose why this creator's Reels aren't growing: Niche: {{niche}} | Followers: [X] | Average Reel views: [X] | Best performing Reel views: [X] Last 5 Reel hooks: {{paste_or_describe}} Posting frequency: {{x_per_week}} | Post time: {{time}}
- Step 1: Hook analysis: Are the hooks creating pattern interrupts or blending in?
- Step 2: Topic analysis: Are the topics too niche, too broad, or too similar to each other?
- Step 3: Format analysis: Is the format (talking head/text/tutorial) matching the topic?
- Step 4: Distribution analysis: Is posting time, frequency, or hashtag strategy limiting reach?
- Step 5: Give a 2-week experiment plan to test one variable at a time.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When Reels are stuck in a low-reach plateau and you need to understand why before changing everything.

PRO TIP

Change only one variable at a time when testing Reels. If you change the hook AND the topic AND the format, you'll never know what actually worked.
