HOW TO USE THIS SKILL EFFECTIVELY

READ BEFORE USE

LinkedIn Post Engine

Overview

This skill helps you create strong LinkedIn posts that feel human, useful, and credible.

It combines:

• proven hook frameworks,
• clear narrative structures,
• proof-first writing,
• and practical CTA design.

Keywords: linkedin, thought leadership, personal brand, founder posts, b2b content, storytelling, case study, hooks, engagement, authority

Process Workflow

Phase 1: Audience + Positioning (CRITICAL)

Before writing, define:

1. Audience — Who is this for? (founders, recruiters, engineers, operators, marketers, sales leaders, etc.)
2. Goal — Reach, authority, leads, hiring, trust, replies, profile visits?
3. Core insight — What is the one thing worth remembering?
4. Proof — What makes this believable (numbers, before/after, constraints, mistakes, outcomes)?

If proof is missing, use placeholders like [X%], [Y hours] and request exact values.

Phase 2: Structure + Hook Selection

Choose a format first, then write:

• Story
• Framework
• Contrarian
• Case study
• Teardown
• Build-in-public

Then select 2-3 hooks and finalize one.

Phase 3: Draft + Polish

• Keep paragraphs short (1-2 lines)
• Front-load specifics
• Remove generic filler
• End with one clear CTA
• Add 3-6 hashtags max

LinkedIn Feed Dynamics (Practical)

What usually performs best:

1. Strong first two lines (stops the scroll)
2. Specificity (numbers > adjectives)
3. Credible vulnerability (mistakes + lessons)
4. Clear structure (easy to skim on mobile)
5. Conversation CTA (quality comments over empty likes)

Avoid:

• Buzzword soup
• Generic motivation posts
• Overlong hashtag blocks
• Fake certainty without evidence

Hook Formulas (Most Important)

The Contrarian Hook

• “Most people do [X]. That’s exactly why they stay stuck.”
• “Unpopular opinion: [industry belief] is outdated.”

The Specific Result Hook

• “In [timeframe], we improved [metric] by [number]. Here’s how.”
• “We cut [cost/time] by [X%]. Not with a new tool—by changing this one workflow.”

The Mistake Hook

• “I made this [role]-mistake for months. It cost us [outcome].”
• “We shipped the wrong thing fast. Here’s what fixed it.”

The Framework Hook

• “The [3-step/4-step] framework I use for [outcome].”
• “If I had to restart as [role], I’d follow these 5 rules.”

The Question Hook

• “Would you let your team do [X] without [Y]?”
• “What’s your biggest bottleneck in [domain] right now?”

High-Performing Post Formats

1) “This runs now” (Operational Story)

Best for real systems, workflows, and automations.

Template:

• bold claim
• “Not as a demo. As an actual [responsibility/workflow].”
• “Here’s what it does:” with 4-6 concrete bullets
• measurable result
• perspective line + CTA question

2) Case Study

Template:

• starting problem
• constraints
• intervention
• before/after metrics
• key lesson
• optional “comment TEMPLATE” CTA

3) Contrarian Opinion

Template:

• challenge popular view
• explain why it fails in practice
• give 3 practical principles
• ask a polarizing but constructive question

4) Framework Post

Template:

• name framework
• 3-5 steps
• one mistake to avoid
• one practical “do this today” action

5) Build-in-Public Update

Template:

• what shipped this week
• what worked
• what broke
• what changed next
• ask for informed feedback

Persuasion Principles

Use these to increase clarity and trust:

• Specificity: “Saved 3.2 hours/week” beats “saved time.”
• Mechanism: Explain how, not just outcomes.
• Credibility: Mention tradeoffs, not only wins.
• Relevance: Tie insight to audience reality.
• Clarity: One post = one core idea.

Writing Rules

• Hook in first 1-2 lines
• 1-2 sentence paragraphs
• Prefer plain language over hype
• Use emojis sparingly as section markers
• Keep claims realistic
• Never invent outcomes, clients, or credentials

Hashtags:

• 3-6 max
• niche + function + audience mix
• avoid spammy broad tags only

Output Contract

By default, provide:

1. 3 hook options
2. 1 full post
3. 1 spicier variant
4. 3 first-comment ideas (to deepen discussion)

Optional on request:

• NL / EN / NL-EN mixed variants
• X/Twitter adaptation
• Short + long versions
• Carousel text outline

Quick Prompt Template

When user gives a raw idea, ask/fill:

• Audience:
• Goal:
• Topic:
• Proof points:
• Tone:
• CTA preference:

Then generate outputs per contract above.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

• Generic “AI changed everything” without concrete examples
• No proof signals
• Too many ideas in one post
• CTA mismatch (asking for leads on a pure thought-leadership post)
• Over-formatting with noisy symbols
