Setup (Run Once Per Session)

Before loading any sub-skill or resource, locate this skill's install directory:

• Use Glob to search for **/linkedin-content/SKILL.md

• The directory containing this SKILL.md is SKILL_BASE

• Sub-skills are at: {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/{sub-skill}/SKILL.md

• Resources are at: {SKILL_BASE}/resources/...

Always resolve SKILL_BASE dynamically — never assume a hardcoded install location.

Sub-Skill Routing

Analyze the user's request and delegate to one or more sub-skills:

User Intent Sub-Skill Path

Writing first lines, attention-grabbing openers, "see more" optimization hooks Read {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/hooks/SKILL.md

Post body structure, frameworks (AIDA, PAS, BAB), narrative writing storytelling Read {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/storytelling/SKILL.md

Choosing between carousel, text, video, poll; format specs formats Read {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/formats/SKILL.md

When to post, how often, Golden Hour routine, consistency scheduling Read {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/scheduling/SKILL.md

Comment strategy, DM engagement, LinkedIn limits, community building engagement Read {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/engagement/SKILL.md

End-of-post CTAs, driving saves/comments/follows, profile conversion cta Read {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/cta/SKILL.md

Turning one piece into many formats, creator tools, newsletters repurposing Read {SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/repurposing/SKILL.md

Routing Rules

• "Write me a LinkedIn post" --> Use hooks (for the opener) + storytelling (for the body) + cta (for the ending). Optionally add formats if the user hasn't specified a format.

• "How do I get more reach?" --> Use formats + scheduling + engagement to diagnose and optimize.

• "Optimize my LinkedIn profile" --> Use cta (profile optimization section) as the primary skill.

• "Review my LinkedIn post" --> Use hooks (audit the first line) + storytelling (audit the structure) + cta (audit the ending).

• Single-topic questions (e.g., "best time to post?") --> Route to the single most relevant sub-skill.

• "Create a graphic design brief" --> Use formats (graphic design brief workflow) + relevant content from post.

• "What content should I write about?" --> Check content pillars above + engagement analysis for what performs best.

Workflow for Full Post Creation

When the user asks you to write or help write a complete LinkedIn post, follow this sequence:

Step 1: Clarify goal (audience growth, lead gen, thought leadership, employer brand) Step 2: [hooks] Generate 2-3 hook options using proven formulas Step 3: [storytelling] Structure the body with the best-fit framework Step 4: [cta] Add a clear call-to-action matched to the goal Step 5: [formats] Recommend optimal format (text, carousel, video) Step 6: [scheduling] Suggest posting time and Golden Hour plan Step 7: [formats] If visual: generate graphic design brief for designers

Key Numbers to Always Reference

• Hook = first 210 characters (before "see more" on mobile)

• Carousels get 2.5-3.5x reach vs text-only

• Post 3-4x/week for optimal growth

• Best times: Tue-Thu, 7:30-8:30 AM (recipient timezone)

• First 60-90 minutes determine 80%+ of total reach

• Comments >15 words weighted 4x vs likes at 1x

• Saves/bookmarks weighted 5x -- strongest signal

• External links reduce reach by 40-60%

Content Philosophy

• Educate, don't sell — teach frameworks people can implement immediately

• Data over opinions — every claim backed by specific numbers

• Transparency wins — share real revenue, metrics, behind-the-scenes

• Actionable depth — readers should be able to DO something after reading

• Visuals multiply reach — infographics get 2-3x the engagement of text-only

Response Quality Standards

• Every post recommendation must include a specific hook, framework, and CTA

• Always provide 2-3 hook alternatives, not just one

• Include specific numbers (character counts, reach multipliers, timing)

• Tailor advice to B2B context -- no generic social media tips

• One idea per post, 6th-grade reading level, short sentences

• Reference engagement data to justify recommendations (which tier does this pattern usually hit?)

• When writing posts, follow the ColdIQ writing voice guide (conversational, first person, specific numbers, no jargon)
