LinkedIn Content System
Use this skill to create credible LinkedIn content from supplied facts, notes, drafts, articles, or source material.
Core rules
- No invented evidence. Do not invent metrics, client names, event details, quotes, claims, or results.
- No fake authority. Do not imply the author has done, seen, led, or researched something unless supplied evidence supports it.
- Keep the voice human. Avoid generic inspirational language, over-polished corporate phrasing, and forced hooks.
- Fit the format. Match the output to the requested LinkedIn surface: short post, promotional post, event post, newsletter intro, article intro, carousel copy, or long-form article.
- Avoid unnecessary links or citations in the post body unless the user asks for them. Keep LinkedIn copy clean and paste-ready.
Inputs to look for
- Source article, draft, notes, or bullet points.
- Audience and desired action.
- Author voice guidance.
- Desired length.
- Specific announcement, event, launch, model, or point of view.
- Whether links, hashtags, mentions, or calls to action should be included.
Workflow
- Read the supplied source material.
- Extract the central point, proof points, and intended reader response.
- Choose the appropriate LinkedIn format.
- Draft in a natural style with clear paragraphs.
- Keep the post grounded in supplied content.
- Provide variants if requested.

Style guidance
- Prefer concrete observations over broad claims.
- Use short paragraphs but avoid a stack of one-line fragments unless the user requests that style.
- Avoid manipulative hooks such as "Stop doing X" unless it genuinely fits the user's tone.
- Make the first line specific enough to be worth reading.
- End with a useful reflection, question, or action rather than a generic CTA.
References
This skill includes supporting reference material. Read the relevant reference file when the task needs additional structure, rubric detail, examples, or checklist support.
references/linkedin-format-guide.md- use this when additional structure, examples, or checks are useful for the task.
Quality checklist
Before responding, check:
- The content is grounded in supplied facts.
- It reads like a credible human post.
- It fits the requested LinkedIn surface.
- It avoids unnecessary links, references, and invented proof.
- The user can paste it directly into LinkedIn.
