The Content X-Ray

Read your posts like an X-ray

Most people create blind. They post, hope, and move on without ever checking what the numbers said. Meanwhile the answer is sitting right there in their last 20 posts.

This guide gives you the word-for-word prompts to have Claude read yours like an X-ray: which topics pull, which formats work, which hooks stop the scroll, what to kill, and what to double down on. Open the newest Claude (Fable 5), paste a prompt with your posts, and read the results. Ten minutes of analysis beats another week of guessing.

The three prompts

• Prompt 1, The Full X-Ray: find which topics, formats, and hooks actually pull.
• Prompt 2, The Monthly Autopsy: rerun every 30 days and watch the trend line form.
• Prompt 3, The Signal Check: sort real patterns from luck before you change course.

Prompt 1: The Full X-Ray

Most people judge a post by how it felt to write, not how it performed. Your audience already voted with their thumbs. This prompt reads your last 20 posts and shows you exactly where the wins came from, and where you have been wasting hours.

What it does: paste your last 20 posts with their views, likes, comments, and saves. Claude finds which topics, formats, and hooks pull, then hands you a kill list and a double-down list.

Why it makes money: you stop spending hours on post types your audience already ignored. Every hour goes into the stuff your own numbers proved people want.

Prompt 2: The Monthly Post Autopsy

One X-ray is a snapshot. Run it every 30 days and you get a moving picture. The Autopsy compares this month to last month so you know if your changes actually worked, or if you just got lucky once.

What it does: every 30 days, paste the new month's posts plus last month's findings. Claude shows what improved, what slipped, and whether your double-down bets paid off.

Why it makes money: most people change strategy on a feeling and never check the result. A 30-day loop turns your content into a system that gets sharper every month.

Prompt 3: The Signal Check

Two good posts do not make a trend. Sometimes they are just luck. Claude only analyzes what you paste, and it will say so when 20 posts is not enough to call it. That honesty is the feature. Data beats opinion, including yours.

What it does: run it right after the X-Ray, in the same chat. Claude regrades every finding by how many posts back it up and flags which conclusions need more data.

Why it makes money: the expensive mistake is overreacting to noise. One lucky post can pull you away from the quiet stuff that was actually growing your audience.

Run it tonight: three steps, ten minutes total

You do not need new tools or a data background. You need your last 20 posts, their numbers, and one paste.

• Pull your numbers: open your platform's analytics. Copy your last 20 posts with views, likes, comments, and saves. Messy formatting is fine, Claude can read it.
• Run the X-Ray: open Claude, pick the newest model (Fable 5), and paste Prompt 1 with your posts. Then run the Signal Check in the same chat.
• Act on strong signal: cut what the data killed. Make more of what pulled. Set a 30-day reminder and rerun the Autopsy so the picture keeps getting clearer.

Why you can trust what the X-Ray tells you

The guardrails are written into every prompt on purpose. Here is what they do.

• It only reads what you paste: Claude never logs into your accounts, never pulls live stats, and never invents a number. Missing data gets flagged, not filled in.
• Small samples get called out: every pattern is labeled strong or weak signal, and Claude says it straight when 20 posts is not enough to call a trend.
• No made-up benchmarks: your posts get compared to your other posts, never to invented industry averages that sound smart and prove nothing.
• You stay the editor: Claude recommends the kill list and the double-down list. You decide what actually gets made, cut, or posted.
