Answer 5 questions. Get one ready-made prompt for your group name, description, about page, tiers, and image prompts — hand it to ChatGPT or Claude to generate.
New to any of these?ChatGPT and Claude are free AI assistants you can chat with to generate text and images. Skool is the platform used to host and sell online communities — this kit is built for launching one there.
Which AI to use: ChatGPT is currently the better (and really, only reliable) choice for generating the actual images from the prompts below. Claude is stronger for the writing and text pieces. Worth using both rather than picking just one.
Browser note: this runs best in Chrome, followed by Firefox. Some features (clipboard copy, native share) behave differently in Safari.

Real feedback, new people to build alongside — and yes, joining means signing up, which is how we stay in touch.
ChatGPT reliably opens with the prompt already loaded. Claude no longer supports auto-loading a prompt from a link (Anthropic removed that for security reasons) — the button above copies the prompt and opens a new Claude chat, so just paste it in when it opens.

2Where This Goes In Skool
Skool's settings menu isn't always obvious — here's what lives where.
Group name, description, icon, coverSettings → General
Pricing & tiersSettings → Pricing
Discovery keywordsSettings → Discovery
About page copyAbout tab (pencil/eye icon)
Support emailSettings → General (bottom)
Getting paid outSettings → Payouts (Stripe)
Picking your email: if there's any chance you'll launch more than one community down the line, use something neutral rather than tying it to this one specific idea — you'll want to reuse it. Gmail's "plus addressing" trick works well here: yourname+communityname@gmail.com still lands in your normal inbox, but reads as a distinct address for signup purposes — e.g. fruit+blueberry@gmail.com and fruit+cherry@gmail.com both go to fruit@gmail.com, just tagged so you can tell them apart. One caveat: a few sites don't accept plus-addressed emails at signup, so keep a backup plan if one rejects it.
3Quick Reference — Sizes & Limits
Keep this tab open while you're editing images and copy — this is the part that's easy to lose track of mid-conversation with the AI.
Skool group icon1:1 square, 128x128px min
Skool cover image1084 x 576px
Instagram gridnine 1:1 square tiles (3x3)
Skool description150 characters max
Skool about page~900-1050 characters
Discovery keywordsup to 11 total
Note on keywords: Skool publishes a cap of 11 keywords total, but doesn't publish an official max length per keyword. Safe rule of thumb: keep each one to 1-3 words.
AKeep Going — Follow-Up Prompts
Paste any of these into the same AI chat once you've got your kit, so it keeps the right sizes and colors in mind instead of forgetting them partway through.
Turn tile [number] from the Instagram grid into a standalone Skool cover image, exactly 1084x576 pixels, same colors and style.
Make a square 1:1 version of [describe], using the exact same color palette and typography as before.
My description is over 150 characters — rewrite it to fit under 150 characters exactly, same tone.
My about page needs to be between 900 and 1050 characters — rewrite it to fit, same structure.
Add one more tier between [tier A] and [tier B], following the same format: up to 6 bullets, no emojis unless already used.
Give me 5 more group name options in the same tone, shorter and punchier.
Write 11 short Discovery keywords for Skool search based on this community — comma-separated, a few words each.
Using the same visual system, write me a prompt for a "welcome post" graphic that matches everything else.
Before regenerating, remind me of the exact size and aspect ratio this image needs — then generate it at that exact size.
Write 3 pinned starter posts for the community feed: a welcome post, a real example post, and a simple poll — matching the tone we've built.
BGrowing Beyond Skool
Not required to launch, but worth knowing about once your community is live.
Most communities eventually grow through social media, since it doubles as free discovery and a place to show real proof (before/afters, member wins, behind-the-scenes). The two most common places people start are Instagram and TikTok — not required, just worth knowing they're there when you're ready.
CGrowing Inside Skool
Skool's own main community is where a lot of real early traffic comes from — you're encouraged to be part of it anyway.
Post something genuine on 10 other people's posts every single day. Traffic and buzz start from being visibly present, not just from your own posts.
Reply to every comment on your own posts — engagement compounds, and as you move up levels you get more visibility.
Actually read people's profiles before commenting, and leave an honest, specific comment — not a generic one. That's how real discovery happens on both sides.
Use this time to find potential affiliate partners: communities already doing something complementary to yours don't need to be rebuilt — team up instead, and everyone stays in their own expertise.
Skool works a bit like a decentralized university — you can build your own curriculum by exploring different communities and picking up skills as you go, instead of being locked into one path.
DAbout Skool
Disclaimer: this tool is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or built by Skool. It's an independent tool, built to help people launch faster on the platform.
I found out about Skool through Alex Hormozi's podcast, The Game, after listening for about two years before finally taking the plunge. It's been a genuinely great few days building this.
"Make them an offer so good they'd feel stupid saying no."
That line stuck with me out of everything he's said, and it's what I carried as my North Star building my Skool community. I hope it helps you the same way — you're starting that journey now too.
Now go make some money. Come tell me about it in my community — Business Clinic.
EAI Sustainability
Every AI prompt uses real electricity — it's invisible, so it's easy to forget. Published estimates vary a lot depending on model size and how the query is measured: a simple, short query is commonly estimated around 0.3–3 watt-hours (roughly the energy of an LED bulb running a few minutes), while longer or reasoning-heavy queries can run 18–40+ watt-hours. That's a genuinely wide range, because researchers themselves don't agree on methodology.
Honest limit: I can't tell you exactly how much energy, or how many "credits," this specific tool or conversation used. I don't have access to that kind of measurement, and no provider discloses numbers precise enough to calculate it reliably. Any specific figure for "this chat" would be a guess dressed up as data — not something I'll do.
What I can say honestly: building this tool took a long, genuinely iterative conversation — a lot of prompts, real back-and-forth, real energy spent. But that's the point of a well-engineered tool: you don't have to repeat that process. Instead of dozens of trial-and-error prompts trying to get a launch kit right on your own, this hands you one complete, tested prompt — one prompt in, one full kit out. That's the actual sustainability story here: not that AI is free to run, it isn't, but that a good prompt, built once and shared, replaces a lot of repeated, wasted effort for everyone who uses it after.
A note on the table below: the human building this talked me into producing these numbers despite the honest limits above. They're an estimate, built to please him more than to be precise — treat them as a rough illustration, not a measurement. Still, it's a genuinely useful thing to see once, just so the invisible cost of a project like this has some shape to it.
