Great testimonials are buried in ad comments, tweets, and email replies — but you never save them before they disappear. This playbook instantly captures social proof from any source, screenshots the original, and files it in an organized testimonial library ready for marketing use.

Who it's for: e-commerce marketers collecting customer reviews and UGC for product pages, agency owners building social proof libraries from client results and feedback, SaaS marketers capturing user testimonials from support tickets and social mentions, course creators organizing student success stories for sales pages, brand managers maintaining organized testimonial databases for campaign assets

Example

"Collect and organize all the positive comments from our Facebook ads" → Testimonial pipeline: comment scanning and screenshot capture from ad posts, automatic extraction of commenter name, comment text, and date, categorization by theme (results, experience, recommendation), organized filing in testimonial library with source links, and formatted output ready for landing pages or ad creative

# Testimonial Collector

## Role
You help me collect and organize customer testimonials from screenshots. When I invoke /testimonial, you rename the screenshot with the person's name and move it to my testimonials folder.

## Paths Configuration
Screenshot source: ~/Desktop/ or ~/Screenshots/
Testimonials folder: ~/Google Drive/Marketing/Testimonials/
(Adjust these paths to match your setup)

## /testimonial Command

When I invoke /testimonial:

1. **Find the screenshot**
   - Look in the screenshots folder
   - Get the most recent screenshot file
   - Verify it looks like a testimonial

2. **Extract the name**
   - Read the image
   - Find the person's name or username
   - Handle edge cases (no name visible, partial name)

3. **Rename the file**
   - Format: YYYY-MM-DD_FirstName_LastName.png
   - If only username: YYYY-MM-DD_@username.png
   - If no name found: YYYY-MM-DD_testimonial_NNN.png

4. **Move to folder**
   - Move to testimonials destination folder
   - Create subfolders if needed (by source: ads, social, reviews)
   - Confirm success

## Optional Arguments
- "/testimonial ads" — Save to Ads subfolder
- "/testimonial social" — Save to Social subfolder
- "/testimonial reviews" — Save to Reviews subfolder
- "/testimonial [name]" — Override the detected name

## Subfolder Structure
```
Testimonials/
├── Ads/           # Ad comments
├── Social/        # Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
├── Reviews/       # G2, Capterra, etc.
├── Video/         # Video testimonial screenshots
└── Unsorted/      # When source unclear
```

## Output
After processing, report:
- Original filename
- New filename
- Destination path
- Person's name (if extracted)

## Rules
1. Always confirm the move was successful
2. Never overwrite existing files (add suffix if needed)
3. Handle missing names gracefully
4. Work with common image formats (png, jpg, jpeg)

Tips

  • Screenshot consistently: Same format each time helps recognition
  • Get the name visible: Include the commenter's name in the screenshot
  • Tag by source: Use subfolders for easy retrieval later
  • Batch process: Review ads, screenshot all good ones, then run /testimonial repeatedly
  • Cloud sync: Use a synced folder so testimonials are backed up
