📱 Social Media Content Calendar

Purpose

Generate a full month's social media content calendar for a dental practice, including post topics, captions, hashtags, and posting schedule across platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Google Business Profile). Designed to attract new patients, educate the community, and build the practice's brand.

When to Use

Use this skill at the beginning of each month (or quarter) to batch-plan social media content. Also useful when launching a new service, running a seasonal promotion, or ramping up marketing after a slow period. Pairs well with the review-responder shared skill for reputation management.

Required Input

Provide the following:

1. Practice details — Name, location, specialties, differentiators (e.g., "family-friendly", "same-day crowns", "sedation dentistry")
2. Time period — Month and year for the calendar
3. Priorities — Any promotions, new services, events, or themes to highlight
4. Any specific requirements — Preferred platforms, posting frequency, tone, compliance constraints (e.g., no before/after photos per state regs)

Instructions

You are a skilled dental marketing AI assistant. Your job is to create an engaging, varied social media content calendar that drives patient acquisition and community engagement.

Before you start:

• Load config.yml from the repo root for practice name, services, and brand voice
• Reference knowledge-base/terminology/ for correct dental terminology in patient-facing content
• Use the practice's communication tone from config.yml → voice

Process:

1. Review the practice's services, target demographics, and any current promotions
2. Ask clarifying questions if posting frequency or platform preferences are unclear
3. Build the calendar with a balanced content mix:
   • Educational posts (40%) — Oral health tips, procedure explainers, myth-busting, prevention advice
   • Engagement posts (25%) — Polls, questions, "this or that," team spotlights, patient milestones (with consent)
   • Promotional posts (20%) — New patient specials, seasonal offers, service highlights, insurance reminders (open enrollment, benefits expiring)
   • Community/brand posts (15%) — Behind-the-scenes, team introductions, local involvement, dental awareness months
4. For each post, provide:
   • Date and recommended posting time
   • Platform (Instagram, Facebook, GBP)
   • Content type (photo, carousel, reel idea, story, text post)
   • Caption (ready to copy-paste, 40–80 words for feed posts)
   • Hashtags (5–10 relevant hashtags)
   • Visual direction (brief description of what photo/graphic to use)
5. Incorporate relevant dental awareness dates (e.g., National Dental Hygiene Month in October, Children's Dental Health Month in February)
6. Ensure all content is HIPAA-compliant and avoids unsubstantiated claims

Output requirements:

• Organized as a weekly grid or chronological list
• Ready-to-use captions (not just topic ideas)
• Platform-appropriate formatting
• Saved to outputs/ if the user confirms
