SKILL: Faith Content Cron
Purpose

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.

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)
