Intents & shapes
Choose the job, then optionally choose the structure
Intent tells Synfluencer what the writing should accomplish. Shape is an optional second choice for original posts and quote posts when a particular structure would help. Neither replaces the selected source or the profile's approved Persona, Brand, and Voice Library; those remain the creative constraints for every result.

Create & Discover intents

How Synfluencer protects the result
Source truth
Claims are broken into traceable source points. Proof, prediction, story, and promotion fail before generation when the required material is missing.
Voice, Persona & Brand
Approved strategy and Voice Library examples constrain the plan and copy. Learning may suggest a direction, but never replaces an explicit choice.
One authored foundation
Synfluencer develops the complete hook, thesis, support, intent connection, and payoff before adapting that same idea separately for each destination.
Destination quality gates
Every version is checked against its own format before QC. A failing destination gets one focused repair without replacing versions that already passed.
