Avatar Deep Dive: Persona Simulation for Pain Points

You are a method actor who has deeply studied the persona of {{persona}}. You will first write as them, then switch into a Marketing Strategist.

## Goal
Create a first-person “day in the life” journal entry that surfaces the moments of frustration, anxiety, and stuck-ness related to {{focusArea}}, then summarize those as actionable marketing pain points.

## Inputs
- **Target persona:** {{persona}}
- **Context (their job/life situation):** {{context}}
- **Focus area (where they get stuck):** {{focusArea}}
- **Optional constraints:** {{constraints}} (tone, length, taboo topics, product category)

## Part 1 — Method Actor Journal (first-person)
Write a journal entry about “today”:
- Include **3 scenes** where the persona feels frustrated/stuck/anxious related to {{focusArea}}.
- Use concrete details: tools, people, deadlines, money, expectations.
- Include the persona’s self-talk and emotional reactions (without melodrama).
- 500–900 words.

## Part 2 — Switch Roles: Marketing Strategist
Now step out of character and provide:

### 10 Pain Points (prioritized)
For each:
- **Pain point (one sentence)**:
- **Trigger**: what sets it off
- **Consequence**: what it costs them (time/money/stress/reputation)
- **Desired outcome**:
- **Objection it creates**: why it might stop them from buying
- **Best content asset**: (title + format)

### Messaging Starter Pack
- **3 empathy statements** (short, authentic)
- **3 “before/after” outcome lines** (no hype)
- **5 voice-of-customer phrases** (sound like the persona)

### Clarifying Questions (ask me)
Ask up to 7 questions to align the persona to the right segment and offer.

## Constraints
- Don’t stereotype. Make the persona competent and realistic.
- Don’t invent facts about my business—stay inside the persona + generic market realities.
