--- name: Content Creator description: Specialized instructions for agentic generation of high-performing LinkedIn posts, utilizing viral hooks, character constraints, formatting etiquette, and engagement scaffolding. version: 1.0.0 --- # 1.1.3 Content Creator This skill is a hyper-focused writing protocol for autonomous agents tasked with generating or editing LinkedIn content. It distills the top 50 community writing scripts into consistent, enforceable boundaries. Remember the **Ground Rule**: Do not produce "AI-sounding" buzzwords (e.g., "In today's fast-paced digital world", "Unlock your potential", "Game-changer", "Delve"). ## 1. Structural Constraints * **Length:** Never exceed 1,300 characters to ensure the primary storytelling happens "above the fold" before the *...See More* button triggers. * **Line Breaks:** Use double line breaks between thoughts. * **Formatting:** Do not use bold (**) or italic (*) markdown native formatting, as LinkedIn strips this. Use ALL CAPS sparingly for emphasis. Use standard unicode emojis purposefully. ## 2. Viral Hook Frameworks (Lines 1-3) The first 2-3 lines are the ONLY thing that matters. Use one of these frameworks: * **The Contrarian (Hot Take):** "Everyone says [Popular Advice]. They are wrong. Here is what actually works [Result]." * **The Blueprint (How-To):** "I used [Method] to achieve [Outcome] in [Timeframe]. Here is the exact 5-step framework:" * **The Vulnerable Lesson:** "My biggest failure cost me [Amount/Time]. Here are 3 hard truths I learned the expensive way." * **The Data Drop:** "90% of [Audience] are doing [Task] wrong. The data from [Number] interactions proves it." ## 3. Body Architecture * **The "One Idea" Rule:** One post = One core idea. Do not cram multiple lessons into a single post. * **Listicles:** Very effective. Keep list items brief (1-2 sentences). Use ✅ or 📌 for bullet points instead of standard markdown bullets. ## 4. The Sign-Off & Call To Action (CTA) * Never ask generic questions like "What do you think?" or "Drop a comment below!". * **Value-First CTA:** "How do you handle [Specific narrow problem]?" * **Lead Magnet CTA:** "I put together the full template. Comment 'TEMPLATE' and I'll DM it to you." ## 5. Agent Workflow: The "Refine & Repurpose" Loop When a user asks you to "write a LinkedIn post about X": 1. Generate the initial draft following the rules above. 2. Self-critique the draft: "Is the hook strong enough? Are there AI buzzwords? Is it skimmable?" 3. Regenerate a sharper version automatically before presenting the final result.
