Handle a viral moment in real time

What you need: The post itself (paste the text or describe it), the platform, the age in minutes, and the engagement — total impressions, likes, comments, shares — versus your normal baseline for a similar post. Who you are (NFL pivot, SMB founder, creator) and what your usual audience looks like. The early-signal read on the comments and quote-shares — is the audience IN your niche or a brigade from outside? Whether your bio link, pinned post, and follow-up content are ready or whether you're cold. And the honest answer: do you actually want this kind of viral, or is it for the wrong reason?

How to use: If you've built your business profile (see "Start here") and saved it as a Claude Project / Custom GPT / Gemini Gem — open that and paste this prompt inside. The AI will skip questions about who you are and pattern-match the playbook to your audience and goals. Otherwise, paste into any fresh AI chat. The AI will interview you across 6 questions, then deliver ONE verdict (GOOD VIRAL / BAD VIRAL / MIXED), the first 5 actions for the next 60 minutes, the conversion play (or the cross-ref to "tweet-went-sideways" if it's bad), the FOMO-management framing ("most people won't see it"), and a 24-hour debrief structure. Bias toward LESS posting, not more — the next-post is the biggest mistake vector when something takes off.
