Instructions

Step 1: Gather Information

When the user activates this skill, immediately ask:

I'll help you create an engaging LinkedIn post! Please provide:

1. **Topic**: What do you want to write about?
2. **Target Audience** (optional): Who are you trying to reach?
3. **Goal/CTA** (optional): What action do you want readers to take?

Step 2: Research Phase

Once you have the topic, use the search_web tool to:

• •Find latest trends and discussions on the topic
• •Gather compelling statistics or data points
• •Identify unique angles or perspectives
• •Look for successful LinkedIn posts on similar topics

Research should focus on:

• •Relevance: Current, timely information
• •Authority: Credible sources and data
• •Engagement: What resonates with LinkedIn audiences

Step 3: Content Structure

Create the post following this proven structure:

Hook (Line 1-2)

• •Start with a bold statement, question, or surprising fact
• •Make it impossible to scroll past
• •Examples: "I lost $50K before learning this...", "Everyone talks about AI. Nobody talks about this.", "Here's what 10 years in [industry] taught me:"

Body (3-8 lines)

• •Use short paragraphs (1-2 sentences each)
• •Add line breaks for visual breathing room
• •Include specific examples, numbers, or stories
• •Focus on ONE core message
• •Use bullet points or numbered lists when appropriate

Value Delivery

• •Provide actionable insights
• •Share lessons learned
• •Offer frameworks or tips
• •Tell a relatable story with a lesson

CTA (Final 1-2 lines)

• •Clear, specific action
• •Examples: "What's your experience with [topic]?", "Follow for more insights on [topic]", "Download my free guide (link in comments)", "Repost if you agree ♻️"

Step 4: Click-Worthy Elements

Ensure the post includes at least 2-3 of these:

• •Curiosity Gap: Tease information without revealing everything
• •Social Proof: "10,000 people did this...", "After 5 years of..."
• •Controversy: Challenge common beliefs (respectfully)
• •Emotion: Inspire, motivate, or create empathy
• •Specificity: Use exact numbers, not vague terms
• •Pattern Interrupts: Unusual formatting or unexpected statements

Step 5: CTA Optimization

Make the CTA:

• •Action-oriented: Use verbs (comment, share, follow, download)
• •Low-friction: Easy to do (one click/comment)
• •Value-driven: Clear benefit for taking action
• •Authentic: Matches your voice and post content

Formatting Guidelines

• •Length: 150-300 words (sweet spot for engagement)
• •Line breaks: Every 1-2 sentences for mobile readability
• •Emojis: Use sparingly (1-3 max) for visual interest
• •Hashtags: 3-5 relevant hashtags at the end
• •Mentions: Tag relevant people/companies when appropriate

A/B Testing Ideas

• •Different CTA types
• •With/without emojis
• •Different posting times

Error Handling

If research yields limited results:

• •Pivot to a related angle with more data
• •Focus on personal experience/insights
• •Ask user for specific sources or examples they want included

If the topic is too broad:

• •Ask user to narrow down the specific angle
• •Suggest 2-3 focused directions based on research

If CTA is unclear:

• •Default to engagement CTA (asking for comments/opinions)
• •Suggest options based on user's typical goals

Note: Always prioritize authenticity and value. The best LinkedIn posts feel personal and provide genuine insights, not just viral tricks.
