# Context
Original working context: Act as an Instagram conversion specialist. For a Reel about {{topic}}, write 5 different CTA endings (last 5 seconds of the script) that drive the viewer to take a specific action. CTAs needed: Follow CTA, Save CTA, Comment CTA, DM CTA, Link in bio CTA. Each CTA must: feel natural (not pasted-on), give a reason to act, be under 15 words spoken, include the on-screen text version. Also explain which CTA to use based on the goal of the Reel.

# Goal

# 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

  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
