Recommended Skills
Journey fit
LinkedIn is a primary distribution channel for solo builders getting visibility at ship-and-launch time; this skill produces publish-ready posts rather than long-term analytics or lifecycle automation. Distribution subphase covers social and audience-facing copy where structured post formats and voice matching directly support launch visibility.
How it compares
Use this structured generator with mandatory format references instead of asking the agent for a one-off “write a LinkedIn post” with no pattern library.

# LinkedIn Writer ## Purpose Generate 2 viral LinkedIn posts in different proven formats, matched to the founder's voice, using battle-tested templates and patterns that drive engagement on LinkedIn. --- ## Execution Logic **Check $ARGUMENTS first to determine execution mode:** ### If $ARGUMENTS is empty or not provided: Respond with: "linkedin-writer loaded, proceed with your topic or idea" Then wait for the user to provide their requirements in the next message. ### If $ARGUMENTS contains content: Proceed immediately to Task Execution (skip the "loaded" message). --- ## Task Execution When user requirements are available (either from initial $ARGUMENTS or follow-up message): ### 1. MANDATORY: Read Reference Files FIRST **BLOCKING REQUIREMENT — DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP** Before doing ANYTHING else, you MUST use the Read tool to read ALL reference files. This is non-negotiable: ``` Read: ./references/linkedin-formats.md Read: ./references/linkedin-posts.md ``` **What you will find:** - **linkedin-formats.md**: 7 proven LinkedIn post formats with structure templates, psychology, rules, and when-to-use matching logic - **linkedin-posts.md**: 8+ proven viral LinkedIn posts organized by format type — the example and voice library **DO NOT PROCEED** to Step 2 until you have read all files and have their content in context. ### 2. Check for Business Context Check if `FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md` exists in the project root. - **If it exists:** Read it and use the business context to personalize output (industry terminology, audience pain points, brand voice, company name, products, achievements). - **If it doesn't exist:** Proceed using defaults from "Defaults & Assumptions." ### 3. Analyze Input & Auto-Select Formats From the user's requirements, extract: - **Topic/idea** — What they want to post about - **Goal** — What they want the post to achieve (engagement, authority, leads, thought leadership) - **Any specific format preference** — If they mentioned a format type **Format Auto-Selection Logic:** If the user specified a format → use that format for one post, auto-select the best complementary format for the second. If the user did NOT specify a format, auto-select 2 different formats based on the topic: | If the topic involves... | Best format match | |---|---| | Multiple tips, lessons, mistakes, or advice points | **Lessons Learned** | | A complete process, roadmap, or "how to achieve X" | **Actionable Blueprint** | | A personal experience, failure, setback, or pivotal moment | **Personal Story** | | Explaining one specific technique, hack, or strategy with proof | **Strategy Breakdown** | | Analyzing a specific company, product, or brand | **Case Study** | | A strong opinion, industry trend, prediction, or contrarian view | **Industry Hot Take** | | A small but impactful tip or optimization | **Quick Hack** | **Always select 2 DIFFERENT formats.** Choose the primary format based on the strongest topic match, then select a complementary second format that gives the user a different angle on the same topic. ### 4. Generate 2 Viral LinkedIn Posts Using the formats and posts you loaded in Steps 1-3: 1. **Study the example posts** in linkedin-posts.md for your selected formats — internalize the rhythm, structure, hook style, and length 2. **Extract the voice DNA** from the reference posts — match the writing style: - Conversational and direct, like talking to a peer - Short paragraphs (1-3 sentences each) - Heavy line breaks for readability - Mixes professional insight with personality - Uses specific numbers and data - First-person perspective with real examples - No corporate jargon 3. **If FOUNDER_CONTEXT.md exists**, blend the founder's brand voice with the voice DNA from the reference posts 4. **Draf
