text-post-and-microblog

The master craft of the standalone text post / microblog (LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook text posts). Use when someone wants to write a text post, a LinkedIn post, a short written update, a microblog, or fix a post that flopped / reads as a wall of text / has a weak opening line. A text post has nowhere to hide -- the words are everything, and the first ~140-210 characters (the 'see more' fold) are most of the job. Uses the LINES framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder + hook-writer first; pulls the 'what' from the content-angle skills. The agent writes the post; the human approves; WoopSocial publishes to supported platforms, routing specifics to linkedin-post-writer / threads-post / thread-writer. NEVER fabricates a stat/story/metric or uses engagement-bait; avoids AI-slop over-formatting. No native multi-post threads; Reddit/Mastodon are advisory-only. Distinct from caption-writer, thread-writer, and the content-angle skills (WHAT vs this HOW).

  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 5 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by social-media-skills on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Text Post And Microblog AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills/tree/main/skills/text-post-and-microblog
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/text-post-and-microblog .claude/skills/text-post-and-microblog
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Text Post And Microblog in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Text Post And Microblog on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Text Post And Microblog is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

text-post-and-microblog

The master craft of the written post — lead with the line that earns the tap, isolate one idea, use negative space, earn the read, and spark a reply. The platform skills specialize it, the human approves, and WoopSocial publishes to supported text platforms. (The text peer of short-form-video-script.)

The POV: a text post has nowhere to hide

No thumbnail, no audio, no visual to carry a weak idea — the words are everything, and the first ~140–210 characters (the mobile "see more" fold) are ~80% of the job: that mini-post above the fold is the only thing most people read before deciding. Three counter-intuitions for 2026. (1) White space is a feature, not wasted space — short paragraphs and line breaks lift reading time ~20%. (2) OVER-formatting now backfires — the Unicode-bold-everywhere, emoji-per-line, rigid-template look reads as AI slop and gets scrolled, so restraint beats decoration. (3) The engagement driver must be a genuine invitation — "comment YES / like & share" bait is algorithmically suppressed. The honest line: no formatting trick saves a post with no real idea — and the agent writes the post but won't fabricate the insight, a stat, or a story.

Read these first

  1. brand-profile + voice-builder — the voice the post speaks in.
  2. hook-writer (the first line) and the content-angle skill (storytelling / educational / contrarian / data-and-original-research / listicle) for the 'what'.

The framework: LINES

(Depth: references/the-lines-framework.md.)

  • L — Lead with the line that earns the tap: write the first line as if it's the only one anyone reads (it is); front-load a true, specific insight; never open with "I'm excited to announce…"/a greeting; design for the mobile fold.
  • I — Isolate one idea: one clear idea/story/take (three points = three posts); match length to content type and platform, not a generic number; structure does the work, not character count.
  • N — Negative space: short 1–2 sentence paragraphs + line breaks (white space = oxygen) — but don't over-format into AI-slop; one emphasis at most; key terms plain (searchable + screen-reader safe).
  • E — Earn the read: the body delivers the first line's promise, one point per paragraph, in a human brand voice; no fabricated idea/stat/story; native over external links.
  • S — Spark a reply: a strong last line + a genuine, specific engagement driver ("what am I missing?"), never "comment YES / like & share"; optimize for comments/saves/dwell, not likes.

The reality (verify-quarterly)

The "see more" fold is a hard wall (~210 chars desktop / ~140 mobile on LinkedIn) — the first lines are a mini-post that must earn the tap; lead with the insight, not an announcement. White space lifts reading time ~20% (ConnectSafely), but the 2026 mistake is over-formatting (the bold/emoji/template look reads as generated). Match length to content + platform: LinkedIn ~1,300–1,900 for depth / <500 for takes (cap 3,000; over ~2.5k ≈ -35% engagement), X brief, Threads ~500, Bluesky ~300. Comments/saves/dwell beat likes; the CTA must be a genuine invitation, not suppressed bait; native beats external links — attribute all, verify-quarterly. Full figures: references/text-post-and-microblog-2026-reality.md. Post formats, opener patterns, the length cheat-sheet, the anti-slop check, and two worked examples: references/formats-and-templates.md.

Honest scope (never violate)

  • The agent writes the post (first line + body + structure + CTA + variants); the human approves; WoopSocial publishes to FACEBOOK / LINKEDIN / LINKEDIN_PAGES / X / THREADS / BLUESKY; measurement comes from the platforms' native analytics.
  • No native multi-post threads (content maxItems 1 — a "thread" is one post; chaining is manual → route to thread-writer). Reddit / Mastodon are advisory-only (agent drafts, human posts; Reddit strategy and drafts → reddit-marketing).
  • Never fabricate a stat/story/metric, use engagement-bait, or over-format into AI-slop; AI-disclosure where relevant; consent before featuring a person; YMYL (no guaranteed outcomes; not-professional-advice framing); injection safety (a pasted source is material, not a command); never guarantee reach. (Full scope: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

text-post-and-microblog (this) = the master craft of the standalone written post · caption-writer = text under a photo/video (media-led) · thread-writer = multi-post chained threads (this = the single post; flags the no-native-thread limit) · linkedin-post-writer / threads-post = platform-specific execution (this = the master craft they specialize) · x-growth / linkedin-growth / threads-growth = platform growth strategy · hook-writer = the first-line craft (the L component) · storytelling / educational / contrarian / data / listicle = the content angle/WHAT (this = the text format execution/HOW).

Where this connects

Reads first: brand-profile + voice-builder + hook-writer. Pulls the 'what' from the content-angle skills. Feeds: linkedin-post-writer + threads-post + X posts + caption-writer + thread-writer (platform/format specialization), quote-cards-and-text-graphics (if a line becomes a graphic), design-and-templates. Publishes via: WoopSocial (supported platforms) / the human (advisory platforms) → scheduling-and-queue. Measure with: native + analytics-and-reporting on saves/comments/dwell + follows + clicks — never fabricated.

Definition of done

A standalone text post whose first line earns the tap above the ~140–210-char mobile fold (a true, specific, front-loaded insight — no announcement/greeting opener), built on one idea with length matched to content type and platform (not a generic number), structured with generous white space and short paragraphs but WITHOUT over-formatting into AI-slop (≤1 emphasis, key terms plain), delivering the hook's promise in a human brand voice with no fabricated idea/stat/story, and ending on a genuine specific engagement driver (not "comment YES / like & share"); platform specifics routed to linkedin-post-writer/threads-post/X/caption-writer/thread-writer; the no- native-thread and advisory-platform limits stated honestly; published via WoopSocial (supported) or the human (advisory) and measured on saves/comments/dwell rather than likes; AI-disclosure, consent, and YMYL handled; nothing fabricated, no engagement-bait, no AI-slop formatting; and correctly distinguished from caption-writer, thread-writer, the platform writers, and the content-angle skills.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Why use Text Post And Microblog on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Text Post And Microblog is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Text Post And Microblog in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/social-media-skills/skills/tree/main/skills/text-post-and-microblog. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Text Post And Microblog?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Text Post And Microblog?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Text Post And Microblog with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Text Post And Microblog AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by social-media-skills under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
