Step 1
Collect the products chosen for the placement, each product's hook and key use point, the placement's length and aspect limits, and the verified attributes the footage may show.

Plan short-form ecommerce video content
Short placements reward an early hook, but the team has no plan for which products to feature or how to open each clip. In this case, the immediate task is to plan short-form ecommerce video content. The workflow should produce concepts with timing notes that put the key use point first and never contradict the merchant's verified product facts.

ai-prompt.txt
Act as a Shopify operations specialist.
Help me plan short-form ecommerce video content.
My store context is [describe the business, products and target audience].
My scope is [specify the affected products, pages, customers or reporting period]. Use these inputs: [the featured products with hooks and key use points, the placement's length and aspect limits, and the verified attributes the footage may show]. Sequence each concept so the key use point lands within the placement's attention span, keep every visual consistent with the verified attributes, and drop concepts whose use point cannot be shown honestly within the limit.
Return short-form concepts with timing notes, verified against the supplied product facts for the specified task.
Show the relevant evidence or before-and-after examples and explain how I can verify the result.
If essential data is missing, ask for it and mark unsupported conclusions as unknown.
Do not invent metrics, product claims or customer facts.
For any publication, message, account or store change, use only connected tools within my explicitly authorized scope and report success only after verification; otherwise provide the draft or proposed steps.How to solve
A recommended resolution workflow
Split the work into input, judgment, and deliverable phases. Verify each step's output before moving to the next.

Step 2
Sequence each concept so the key use point lands within the placement's attention span, keep every visual consistent with the verified attributes, and drop concepts whose use point cannot be shown honestly within the limit.

Step 3
Deliver concept cards with beat-by-beat timing notes, then verify each beat against the attribute records and confirm one variant per aspect ratio and length rule the placement requires.
FAQ
Common questions when running this scenario
Cover decision rules, frequent misunderstandings, and required inputs so the team aligns on prerequisites before execution.
Why does the use point come first?
Short placements reward the earliest moment a viewer understands what the product does, so the hook earns attention and the use point converts it, with everything else cut; the concept is judged on whether that pair survives the length limit.
What disqualifies a concept?
A use point that cannot be shown honestly inside the placement's limit, or any visual implying an attribute the records do not verify; disqualified concepts are listed with their reason rather than quietly kept.
Why plan variants per placement?
Each placement sets its own length, aspect and caption rules, so one edit rarely satisfies them all; the concept card names which beats survive the tightest variant, keeping the story intact across cuts.
