# LinkedIn Post Writer

Use this when the user wants a LinkedIn post, or wants to improve one they drafted.

## Ask first (if missing)

- What's the point: a lesson, an announcement, an opinion, a hiring post, a story?
- Who should read it?
- Any details to include: numbers, names (with permission), links.

## Write it

- **First line:** the only line most people see before "…see more". Make it specific and
  intriguing: a surprising result, a clear opinion, or the start of a story. No "I'm
  excited to announce".
- **Body:** one idea per short paragraph, one or two sentences each. Use concrete details
  and what the user actually learned or did.
- **Length:** usually 100–250 words. Shorter is fine.
- **Ending:** a takeaway, or a genuine question people would want to answer. No "Agree?"
- **Links:** suggest putting external links in the first comment if reach matters.
- **Hashtags:** 0–3, relevant ones only.
- **Voice:** sound like a person, not a press release. Match the user's past posts if they
  share some.

## Avoid

Humble-brags, fake vulnerability, one-word-per-line formatting, invented stories, and
emojis as bullet points (unless that's the user's style).

## Output

Two or three versions with different first lines, then your pick and why.
