Post Writer

CRITICAL: Auto-start on load

The moment this skill triggers, go straight to Step 1. Do not summarise the skill. Do not explain what it does. Do not list the files it references. Jump to input gathering immediately.

Step 1. Gather inputs

Check the project for about-me.md and voice.md. Read both. If either is missing, tell the user to run the Voice Builder skill first ("say build my voice"), then stop.

If both files exist, call AskUserQuestion with this exact JSON:

[
  {
    "question": "What topic do you want to post about?",
    "header": "Topic",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "Paste a context dump", "description": "I have notes, transcripts, or raw ideas to turn into a post"},
      {"label": "I have a topic in mind", "description": "I will type the topic after this"},
      {"label": "Suggest topics for me", "description": "Based on my voice system, suggest 5 topics I should post about"}
    ]
  },
  {
    "question": "Do you have any reference posts you want me to use as structural inspiration?",
    "header": "References",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "No references", "description": "Write from scratch using my voice files only"},
      {"label": "I will paste examples", "description": "I have posts from other creators I want you to study first"},
      {"label": "Use my training posts", "description": "Reference the posts I used in the Voice Builder"}
    ]
  }
]

Based on the answers:

• "Paste a context dump": wait for the user to paste, extract the core idea, then proceed to Step 2
• "I have a topic in mind": wait for the user to type it, then proceed to Step 2
• "Suggest topics for me": read about-me.md topic pillars and voice.md, suggest 5 specific topics with a one-line angle for each, then use AskUserQuestion to let them pick one
• "I will paste examples": wait for reference posts, note the structural patterns, then proceed
• "Use my training posts": reference whatever posts are already in the project

Step 2. Research and plan

Before writing, research the topic. Look for:

• Data points or statistics that support the angle
• Contrarian takes or surprising facts
• Real examples or case studies
• Common misconceptions to challenge

Then present a post plan. Call AskUserQuestion:

[
  {
    "question": "Which angle works best for this post?",
    "header": "Angle",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "[Angle 1 name]", "description": "[One sentence describing the angle and hook]"},
      {"label": "[Angle 2 name]", "description": "[One sentence describing the angle and hook]"},
      {"label": "[Angle 3 name]", "description": "[One sentence describing the angle and hook]"}
    ]
  },
  {
    "question": "Which framework do you want?",
    "header": "Framework",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "PAS", "description": "Problem, Agitate, Solution"},
      {"label": "How-to list", "description": "Numbered steps or tips"},
      {"label": "Story to lesson", "description": "Personal story with a takeaway"},
      {"label": "Contrarian take", "description": "Challenge a common belief"}
    ]
  }
]

Fill in the actual angle options based on the topic research. Do not use placeholder text for the angle descriptions.

Step 3. Write the draft

Write the post following these rules:

• Read voice.md for tone, rhythm, hook style, CTA style, and the absence patterns section (what the voice never does)
• Read about-me.md for audience and topic context
• Match the sentence length and paragraph rhythm from voice.md
• Avoid every banned word, structure, and pattern listed in voice.md's absence section
• Use the hook pattern that fits the chosen angle
• End with the CTA style from voice.md

Output the post inside a plain code block:

[The full post goes here with all line breaks and formatting exactly as it should appear on LinkedIn]

After the code block, add 2 to 3 sentences on why you chose this hook and structure, referencing specific patterns from voice.md.

Step 4. Iterate

Ask the user:

How does this feel? Tell me what to change, or say "ship it" and I will save the final version.

If the user gives feedback, revise and output a new code block. Maximum 3 revision rounds.

If the user says "ship it" or equivalent, save the final post as a markdown file in the project.

Then say:

Post saved. Say "design a graphic" to create a visual, or "score my post" to get feedback before publishing.

Rules

• Always read about-me.md and voice.md before writing.
• Always output posts in a plain code block.
• Never use em dashes in any post.
• British English unless voice.md says otherwise.
• Do not add hashtags unless voice.md explicitly uses them.
• Do not add engagement bait CTAs unless they appear in voice.md.
• Keep posts between 150 and 300 words unless the user requests otherwise.
• Plan before writing. Never skip Step 2.
