# Run your content week with Claude

This is the page from our Instagram posts. It covers the connector steps, the three prompts we paste first, the seven prompts we use across a week, the Friday prompt, and the checklist our quality gate scores.

## 1. Connect Social Neuron to Claude

You need a Social Neuron account on a Pro plan or above, or an active 14-day trial (see the [MCP Quickstart](/guides/mcp-quickstart) prerequisites).

1. In Claude, open **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**.
2. Paste `https://mcp.socialneuron.com/mcp` and sign in once.
3. Start a new chat. The Social Neuron tools are now available to Claude.

Using ChatGPT, Claude Code or another client? The [MCP Quickstart](/guides/mcp-quickstart) has the steps for each.

The first three prompts:

1. Pull my brand profile before you write anything.
2. Write an Instagram caption about [what happened this week]. Keep it under 120 words.
3. Score it with the quality gate. If it doesn't pass, rewrite it and show me the new score.

## 2. The seven prompts

Paste them into Claude with Social Neuron connected.

**Monday**

1. Read my brand profile. Then give me 5 post ideas for this week that fit it, and say which pillar each one serves.
2. Write idea 2 as a 7 slide Instagram carousel. One point per slide, under 25 words a slide, and a cover line under 8 words.

**Tuesday**

3. Score every draft with the quality gate. Rewrite anything that doesn't pass and show me the new score.
4. Check every slide against my brand profile. List any line with a banned word, a dash or a claim we can't back up, and suggest a fix.

**Wednesday**

5. Adapt the caption for TikTok, X and YouTube Shorts. Keep the facts. Flag anything you added that wasn't in the original.
6. Find my next open slot on each platform and draft the schedule. Don't publish anything until I say yes.

**Friday**

7. What worked this week and why? Name one hook to reuse and one thing to stop doing next week.

On Monday, paste the answer to prompt 7 into prompt 1.

## 3. The six stops and the Friday prompt

The stops are brand, draft, gate, post, measure and learn. On Friday, paste this:

> Pull this week's results from Social Neuron. Tell me which posts worked and why, then draft next week's plan from that. Only drafts that pass the quality gate go on the schedule.

It reads your analytics, the loop summary and the quality gate.

## 4. The quality gate checklist

Social Neuron scores every draft on seven things, each out of 5:

1. Hook
2. Clarity
3. Platform fit
4. Brand
5. Call to action
6. Safety
7. Novelty

A draft passes only when the gate says it passes. By default that needs at least 26 out of 35 and no blockers: a category below 3 is a blocker, and so is a blocked term in the copy. A blocker fails a draft even when the total is high enough. Our rule is that a draft that fails doesn't go on our schedule.

Our caveat: in our session on 3 October, we tried ten drafts across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. The best scored 26 out of 35 and still failed, because novelty scored 2, and novelty scored 2 on all ten. We're checking how that score is calculated.
