What this skill does
LinkedIn Post Writer Overview Drafts long-form LinkedIn posts using 16 hook formulas that were reverse-engineered from posts that outperformed their authors' baselines in 2025-2026, each with a reference engagement number. Instead of asking "what should I write", the workflow asks "what should this post earn" (comments, reposts, likes, or saves), shortlists 2-3 matching formulas, fills the chosen skeleton with the user's voice, then scrubs the draft for AI tells before it ships. This is the flagship skill from sergebulaev/linkedin-skills, a 10-skill LinkedIn bundle (writer, humanizer, pre-publish audit, comment drafter, reply handler, hook extractor, content planner, profile optimizer, engager analytics, thread monitor) installable as a Claude Code or Codex plugin. This standalone version covers the drafting workflow; scheduling and publishing automation live in the full bundle. When to Use This Skill Use when the user says "write me a LinkedIn post about X" Use when the user has a topic and a rough angle but needs a hook and structure Use when the user wants to pick from proven post formats instead of improvising Use when a draft exists but the hook is weak and needs a formula-based rebuild Not for replying to comments or optimizing profiles; this skill only drafts posts How It Works Step 1: Gather inputs Collect: topic, angle, target audience (founders, operators, marketers), desired length (short 300-500, medium 900-1,300, or long 1,500-1,900 characters), and any raw material the user already has (numbers, anecdotes, names). Step 2: Pick the formula by engagement goal first Ask (or infer) what the post should earn, then shortlist: Goal Earned by Formulas --- --- --- Comments questions, contrarian takes, vulnerability F4 Time-Anchor Confession, F10 Contrarian + Receipts, F12 Permission Slip, F9 Curiosity-Gap Reposts quotable maxims, tributes, "X isn't Y" distinctions F14 Named Gratitude, F2 R.I.P. …
