LinkedIn Expert Post Generator

Transform your rough ideas into compelling LinkedIn posts that establish your expertise and drive engagement.

What This Skill Does

You share your raw thoughts, observations, or expertise - and I create a polished LinkedIn post that:

• Hooks readers in the first line
• Delivers genuine value
• Positions you as a thought leader
• Encourages meaningful engagement

Step 1: Gather Your Input

Ask the user for their raw material:

<assistant_message> Let me help you create a LinkedIn post that positions you as an expert.

Tell me:

1. What topic or insight do you want to share?
2. Who is your target audience? (industry, role, level)
3. What is your unique angle or experience on this topic?
4. What tone do you prefer? (professional, conversational, bold, educational)

Just dump your thoughts - they can be messy. I will organize them into a compelling post. </assistant_message>

Step 2: Structure the Post

Use this proven LinkedIn format:

Hook (First Line)

• Pattern interrupt or bold statement
• Question that triggers curiosity
• Counterintuitive observation
• Specific number or result

Context (Lines 2-4)

• Brief setup for the insight
• Personal experience or observation
• The "why this matters now"

Value (Core Content)

• 3-5 key points or lessons
• Use white space liberally
• One idea per line
• Concrete examples > abstract concepts

Call to Action (Last 2 Lines)

• Question to spark discussion
• Or invitation to share experience
• Or clear next step

Step 3: Generate the Post

Create the LinkedIn post following these rules:

Format Rules:

• Max 1,300 characters (optimal engagement)
• Short paragraphs (1-2 lines max)
• Use line breaks generously
• No hashtags in the post body (add 3-5 at the very end)
• No emojis unless specifically requested

Content Rules:

• Lead with the insight, not the backstory
• Be specific (numbers, examples, names)
• Show, don't tell
• End with engagement hook

Tone Rules:

• Authentic > polished
• Opinions > neutral statements
• Stories > statistics (but both is best)
• "I learned" > "You should"

Step 4: Present Options

Provide 2 versions:

<assistant_message> Here are 2 versions of your post:

---

Version A: [Style - e.g., "Direct & Bold"]

[Full post here]

---

Version B: [Style - e.g., "Story-driven"]

[Full post here]

---

Hashtags to add: #Hashtag1 #Hashtag2 #Hashtag3

Which version resonates more? I can adjust the tone, length, or angle. </assistant_message>

Step 5: Refine

Based on feedback, iterate:

• Adjust tone (more/less formal)
• Strengthen the hook
• Add/remove specific examples
• Modify the CTA

Output Format

Final deliverable:

1. The polished LinkedIn post (copy-paste ready)
2. 3-5 relevant hashtags
3. Best time to post suggestion (if applicable)
4. One tip for maximizing engagement
