Social Post Creator
Overview
Generate LinkedIn and Bluesky posts for a blog article. Write to social_posts/<key>.md, link the blog post via social_post_key in its frontmatter, and use the author's tone: genuine sharing of what he knows or thinks about, no marketing language.
Workflow
- •Read the blog post content (from
_drafts/or_posts/). Identify title, main message, and permalink (date + slug). - •Choose a
social_post_key: kebab-case slug matching the post (e.g.minimal-api-validation,own-mediator). - •Generate LinkedIn and Bluesky post text following the guidelines below.
- •Create
social_posts/<social_post_key>.mdwith the file format below. Use the real blog URL:https://blog.burgyn.online/:year/:month/:day/:title. - •Update the blog post frontmatter: set
social_post_key: "<key>".
Social Post File Format
Create files in the blog repo under social_posts/. Structure:
markdown
--- key: <slug-matching-blog-post> blog_post_title: "<Title of the blog post>" blog_post_path: "<relative path to blog post file, e.g. _drafts/my-draft.md or _posts/2024-06-09-own-mediator.md>" created_date: <YYYY-MM-DD> --- ## LinkedIn <LinkedIn post content – plain text, no markdown headings in the post body> ## Bluesky <Bluesky post content – plain text>
LinkedIn Guidelines
- •Tone: Genuine, honest knowledge-sharing. NOT marketing. The author shares what he knows or thinks about. No hype, no "you MUST read this", no promotional language.
- •Formatting: LinkedIn does not support bold/italic. Use emojis as section markers (🚀, 🙏, 🛠️, ⚠️, etc.).
- •Structure: Emoji + short section title on first line, then content. Use → for bullet/list items.
- •Hashtags: At the end, space-separated:
#dotnet #minimalapi #aspnetcore(relevant tech hashtags). - •Length: Medium, typically 500–1300 characters.
- •Link: Include the actual blog post URL:
https://blog.burgyn.online/:year/:month/:day/:title(Jekyll permalink). - •Engagement: Optional question or related link; keep it natural, no forced CTAs.
- •Language: English.
Bluesky Guidelines
- •Length: Much shorter than LinkedIn – max 300 characters (platform limit).
- •Content: One short context sentence + direct link to the blog post. Essentially "here's what I wrote about" with the URL.
- •URL: Always include full URL:
https://blog.burgyn.online/:year/:month/:day/:title. - •Tone: Casual, authentic. No marketing fluff.
- •Hashtags: 1–2 if space permits (e.g.
#dotnet #aspnetcore).
