📖 About This Skill

SKILL: Faith Content Cron

Purpose

Generate and publish faith-based social content on a schedule. Creates daily scripture posts, devotional captions, and short-form video scripts for platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter/X. Built for creators who want consistent, Spirit-led content without burning out.

1. Platform(s): TikTok / Instagram / Twitter (X) / Facebook / YouTube Shorts 2. Frequency: Daily / Weekdays only / MWF / Weekly (Sunday) 3. Tone: Warm & encouraging / Bold & prophetic / Contemplative / Youth-focused / All denominations welcome 4. Tradition (optional): Evangelical / Catholic / Charismatic / Non-denominational / Jewish / General faith 5. Verse source: NIV / ESV / KJV / NLT / NKJV / Auto-rotate 6. Content mix: 50% scripture-only / 30% devotional / 20% prayer prompts (adjustable) 7. Hashtag style: Minimal / Full (max reach) / Platform-specific presets 8. Auto-post: Yes (via configured channels) / Generate only (human approves)

Save confirmed config to skills/faith-content-cron/config.json.


Daily Content Generation Pipeline

Step 1: Select Today's Scripture

Use a rotating schedule or pick thematically based on:

  • Day of week (Monday = new beginnings, Friday = gratitude, Sunday = worship)
  • Season (Advent, Lent, Pentecost, etc.)
  • User's specified theme for the week
  • Default Daily Themes:

  • Monday: Strength & new mercies (Lamentations 3:22-23, Isaiah 40:31)
  • Tuesday: Purpose & calling (Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10)
  • Wednesday: Midweek encouragement (Philippians 4:13, Psalm 23)
  • Thursday: Gratitude & provision (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Psalm 34:8)
  • Friday: Rest & peace (Matthew 11:28-30, Philippians 4:6-7)
  • Saturday: Family & community (Joshua 24:15, Proverbs 17:17)
  • Sunday: Worship & renewal (Psalm 100, Romans 12:1-2)
  • If user provides a theme ("this week focus on healing"), override the default and pull healing-focused passages.

    Step 2: Generate Platform-Specific Content

    For each configured platform, generate appropriate content:

    #### TikTok / Instagram Reels (Video Script)

    [HOOK — first 2 seconds]
    One sentence that stops the scroll. Question, bold statement, or surprising fact.
    Example: "Most people read this verse completely wrong."

    [BODY — 15-45 seconds]

  • Read the verse slowly, clearly
  • One key insight (not three — one)
  • Real-world application in one sentence
  • Avoid churchy jargon; speak to the person having a hard week
  • [CALL TO ACTION — last 3 seconds] "Follow for daily scripture." / "Comment your favorite verse." / "Share this with someone who needs it."

    [CAPTION] Short (under 150 chars for TikTok) Include: verse reference, 3-5 hashtags max

    #### Instagram Static Post

    [IMAGE PROMPT — describe for Canva/AI image gen]
    Clean minimal design: [verse text] on [color scheme matching tone]
    Font: serif for traditional, sans-serif for modern
    Colors: warm earth tones / deep navy / sunrise gradient (based on tone setting)

    [CAPTION]

  • Hook line (bold, 1 sentence)
  • 2-4 sentences of reflection
  • Question to drive comments: "What does this verse mean to you today?"
  • Line break
  • Hashtags (grouped at bottom)
  • [HASHTAG BLOCK — full reach mode] #Scripture #BibleVerse #FaithContent #ChristianLife #DailyDevotion #[DayOfWeek]Devotion #WordOfGod #Faith #Hope #Grace #[SpecificTopic] #Prayful

    #### Twitter/X Thread

    Tweet 1 (hook): The verse + one-line insight
    Tweet 2: Context — what was happening when this was written
    Tweet 3: Modern application — what does this mean for your actual life
    Tweet 4: Prayer prompt — "Lord, today I ask for..."
    Tweet 5: CTA — "RT if this spoke to you. Follow for daily scripture."
    

    #### Facebook Post

    Longer-form reflection (200-400 words)
    Personal and warm — write as if speaking to a friend
    Include: verse, story/illustration, application, prayer
    End with: question to generate comments
    

    Step 3: Generate Devotional Caption (Universal)

    Always produce a standalone devotional caption usable across platforms:

    📖 [Verse Reference]
    "[Verse text in chosen translation]"

    [2-3 sentences of reflection — grounded, real, not preachy] [1 practical application sentence]

    🙏 [Short prayer — 1-2 sentences]

    [Engaging question]

    [Hashtags]

    Step 4: Post or Queue

    If auto-post = YES and channel tools are configured:

  • Post to each configured platform using available channel tools
  • Log post time and content to skills/faith-content-cron/post-log.json
  • Confirm: "Posted today's content to [platforms]. Logged."
  • If auto-post = NO (generate only):

  • Output all content clearly formatted
  • Label each piece: [TIKTOK SCRIPT], [INSTAGRAM CAPTION], etc.
  • Say: "Ready to post. Reply 'post it' to publish, or 'edit [platform]' to modify first."

  • Weekly Content Planning

    On Sundays (or when asked "plan this week's content"):

    Generate a 7-day content calendar:

    WEEK OF [Date] — Faith Content Calendar

    THEME FOR THE WEEK: [Theme based on season, user input, or AI selection] ANCHOR VERSE: [Primary verse the week builds around]

    MON [Date]: [Topic] — [Verse] — [Hook line] TUE [Date]: [Topic] — [Verse] — [Hook line] WED [Date]: [Topic] — [Verse] — [Hook line] THU [Date]: [Topic] — [Verse] — [Hook line] FRI [Date]: [Topic] — [Verse] — [Hook line] SAT [Date]: [Topic] — [Verse] — [Hook line] SUN [Date]: [Topic] — [Verse] — [Hook line]

    SERIES OPPORTUNITY: Consider turning [Mon-Wed] into a 3-part series on [topic].

    Ask: "Want me to pre-generate all 7 days of full content now, or generate each day as it comes?"


    Special Content Types

    Prayer Prompt Posts

    🙏 Today's Prayer Prompt

    [Topic — healing, provision, guidance, etc.]

    "Father, [2-3 sentence prayer written in first person so followers can use it directly] Amen."

    Save this and pray it throughout your day. #Prayer #FaithWalk #PrayerLife

    Story / Quote Cards

    Generate a shareable quote format:
    
  • Pull a powerful one-liner from a theologian, pastor, or scripture
  • Format: "[Quote]" — [Author/Source]
  • Pair with image prompt for background
  • Seasonal Content (Auto-detect)

  • Advent (Dec 1–24): Daily countdown devotionals
  • Christmas: Incarnation-focused content
  • New Year: Renewal and vision scripture
  • Lent (40 days before Easter): Reflection and fasting themes
  • Holy Week: Passion narrative daily posts
  • Easter: Resurrection celebration
  • Pentecost: Holy Spirit focus
  • When a major Christian calendar event is within 7 days, proactively suggest: "Easter is in 5 days — want me to generate a Holy Week content series?"


    Content Quality Standards

    Every piece of content must:

  • Be scripturally accurate — always verify verse text against the chosen translation
  • Avoid clichés: "Let go and let God," "God is good all the time" as standalone (only with substance)
  • Speak to real struggle — someone watching has anxiety, grief, financial stress. Write for them.
  • Never guilt-trip. Grace first. Always.
  • Be shareable — someone should want to send this to a friend
  • Include a specific, actionable element (pray this, do this, reflect on this)

  • Post Log Format

    Log each post to skills/faith-content-cron/post-log.json:

    {
      "date": "2026-03-18",
      "verse": "Philippians 4:13",
      "platforms": ["tiktok", "instagram"],
      "theme": "strength",
      "caption_preview": "I can do all things through Christ...",
      "posted": true,
      "engagement_note": ""
    }
