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.

| 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 |

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 designersKey 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)
