Pre-Post Viewer Question Gap Check
Finds the 3 questions a skeptical first-time viewer silently asks about your reel, script, or post, with a paste-ready patch for each.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Your post about switching to a standing desk looks good! Here are a few thoughts: - Consider adding some specific health benefits with sources - You might mention the price range so readers know what to expect - A personal anecdote about your experience would make it relatable - Adding a call to action at the end could boost engagement Overall it's a solid post. You could also address common concerns people have about standing desks, like whether they're worth the cost. Would you like me to suggest a stronger opening line?
Ran your post through the gap check. It's well written — that's not the problem. The problem is what the reader is silently asking and you never answer. Three questions, in the order they'll occur to someone reading: Q1 — "Okay but did it actually help YOU, or is this generic advice?" Your post lists benefits. It never says what changed for you specifically. The reader's guard goes up at benefit lists; it drops at "my lower back stopped hurting by week two." Answer this in the first three lines or they scroll. Q2 — "How long until I stopped hating it?" Everyone who's considered a standing desk has heard "your feet hurt at first." You skip the adjustment period entirely, which reads as either dishonest or inexperienced. Naming the rough part — and when it ended — is what makes the recommendation credible. Q3 — "Do I need the $600 one or is the $150 one fine?" This is the actual question stopping the purchase, and the post doesn't touch price-to-value. You don't need a buying guide — one honest sentence about whether the cheap one was enough closes the loop. THE REWRITE MOVE Don't add three sections. Fold the answers into what's already there: open with Q1 (your specific result), work Q2 into the middle as the honest caveat, and land Q3 in the close as the practical takeaway. Same length, three silent objections handled. The post as written informs. The post with these answered converts — because it's answering what they're actually thinking, not what you planned to say.
About this skill
Your post makes sense to you because you already know the backstory, the numbers, and what you said out loud. A stranger scrolling with the sound off does not. Then the comments fill up with "source?", "how much?", and "must be nice". This skill reads your draft the way that stranger does. It names the exact questions it raises and gives you a short line to paste in where the viewer will see it.
What it does
- Reads your draft in three passes: muted (on-screen text only), scroll (hook and first frame only), and skeptic (line by line)
- Quotes or timestamps every gap, then ranks them: trust gaps (proof, cost, catch, undisclosed deals, broken hook promises) above comprehension and curiosity gaps
- Catches internal math that does not add up, and hooks that promise more than the piece delivers
- Puts each fix where it works: voiceover, on-screen label, caption first line, pinned comment, carousel slide, or a named follow-up video
- Keeps each patch short and in your voice, and tells you when the fixes add up to a rework instead of a patch
- In post-mortem mode, reads your comments and retention drops to explain why a post did not land
What you get
A one-line verdict (Post, Patch first, or Rework), a gap table of up to three gaps with paste-ready patches, and an optional open question you can leave in on purpose to drive comments.
Best for
Creators, social media managers, and personal brands doing a final check on reels, shorts, carousels, LinkedIn posts, or scripts. Also useful for a post-mortem on a post that drew confused or hostile comments.
