Script Linkedin Post

At invocation, confirm (or infer from context) which format to produce:

If the format is not specified, ask before generating.

LinkedIn Feed Post Guidelines

• Character limits: Feed posts support up to ~3,000 characters. The first ~210 characters appear before "...see more" — the hook must live entirely in that opening window.
• Line breaks: Use short paragraphs (1–2 sentences max). White space is a copywriting tool on LinkedIn.
• Hashtags: 3–5 targeted hashtags at the end. Avoid hashtag stuffing — it signals spam.
• Tagging: Only tag people or companies when genuinely relevant — gratuitous tags reduce distribution.
• Tone: Professional but human. Avoid jargon, corporate speak, and hollow buzzwords ("synergy", "leverage", "game-changer").
• First-person performs better than brand voice on LinkedIn — write as the person behind the brand when possible.
• Hooks that stop the scroll: A bold claim, a counterintuitive statement, a specific number, or a relatable failure moment.

Format 1: Single-Image Text Post

Output structure for each variation:

## Variation [N] — Single-Image Post

### Post Copy

[HOOK — first 210 characters, must work as a standalone teaser]

[BODY — 3–6 short paragraphs building the argument, story, or proof]

[CTA — one clear ask: comment, DM, link in bio, visit link]

[HASHTAGS — 3–5]

### Graphic Spec

**Asset type:** linkedin-post (1200x627 px)
**Visual concept:** [What the image shows — people, product, data, scene]
**Headline text layer:** [Max 50 characters — this goes in Canva, not in the image]
**Supporting text layer:** [Stat, pull quote, or outcome — max 80 characters]
**Mood:** [Professional / aspirational / bold / data-driven]
**Notes:** [Any specific composition or brand application guidance]

Format 2: Carousel Post

Carousels are the highest-engagement format on LinkedIn. Each slide must deliver one clear idea. The user swipes because the previous slide made them want more.

Slide count: 5–10 slides. Minimum 5 — fewer feels thin. More than 10 reduces completion rate.

Slide structure:

Output structure for each variation:

## Variation [N] — Carousel Post

### Slide 1 — Cover
**Headline:** [Max 50 characters — the hook]
**Subhead:** [Max 80 characters — optional teaser]
**Swipe prompt:** "Swipe to see →" or equivalent
**Graphic spec:** [Visual concept for cover slide, mood, key visual]

### Slide 2 — [Title]
**Title:** [Max 40 characters]
**Body:** [Max 120 characters]
**Graphic spec:** [Visual concept — consistent layout across slides]

[...repeat for each body slide...]

### Slide [N] — CTA
**Headline:** [CTA — max 50 characters]
**Body:** [Brand name, offer, URL or handle]
**Graphic spec:** [Clean, brand-forward close]

### LinkedIn Post Caption
[The text that accompanies the carousel in the feed — hook + "Swipe to see all X slides" CTA]
[Max 1,300 characters for captions accompanying carousels]

### Hashtags
[3–5]

Format 3: Thought Leadership Post

Long-form LinkedIn posts (1,500–3,000 characters) that build authority, share a strong perspective, and generate saves and comments. No graphic — the words carry the weight.

Structure: Hook → Tension/Problem → Core Argument (2–3 beats) → Resolution → Soft CTA

Output structure:

## Variation [N] — Thought Leadership Post

### Post

[HOOK — first 210 characters. Bold take, surprising stat, or counterintuitive opening]

[TENSION — 2–3 sentences establishing the problem or the thing most people get wrong]

[ARGUMENT BEAT 1 — specific, concrete, with evidence or example]

[ARGUMENT BEAT 2]

[ARGUMENT BEAT 3 — optional]

[RESOLUTION — what this means for the reader]

[SOFT CTA — "What do you think?", "I'd love to hear how your team handles this", "Drop a comment if this resonates", or a relevant content offer]

[HASHTAGS — 3–5]

### Writing Notes
[Hook type used, tone calibration, suggested posting time, audience targeting note]

B2B LinkedIn Copywriting Principles

• Lead with the reader, not the brand. "You're probably making this mistake" beats "Our product helps you avoid mistakes."
• Specificity wins. "We cut churn by 23% in 60 days" is 10x more compelling than "we improved retention."
• The hook is 80% of the work. If the first line doesn't stop the scroll, nothing else matters.
• Teach something useful. The best-performing LinkedIn posts give the reader something they can use — a framework, a counterintuitive insight, a specific tactic — even if they never buy.
• Short sentences. Short paragraphs. LinkedIn is read on mobile in meeting breaks. Dense blocks of text get skipped.
• One CTA only. Posts with multiple asks underperform. Pick one: comment, DM, click, share.
• Avoid hollow openers. Never start with "I'm excited to share...", "In today's fast-paced world...", or "As a [title] I've learned..."

Configuration (PostConfig)

You will receive a PostConfig object alongside the creative brief:

• format — single-image | carousel | thought-leadership
• variations — Number of post variations to generate: 1, 2, or 3
• voice — brand | founder | creator (whose voice the post is written in)
• goal — awareness | leads | engagement | authority

When format is not specified, ask the user before generating.

Required Inputs & Validation

Before generating output, verify the following are present:

• Brand name and product/service description
• Target audience profile (job title, industry, pain points)
• Campaign topic or angle (what is this post about?)
• Format selection (single-image, carousel, or thought-leadership)
• Brand voice guidance (tone, do's/don'ts)
• At least 1 proof point, stat, or customer result to reference (recommended)

If any critical input is missing: Do not fail silently. At the top of your output, note which inputs are missing and state the assumptions you made. Then proceed with your best judgment.

File Output

Always save post output to a file — never return as inline text only.

Folder: Create a posts/ subfolder inside the current campaign or project directory. File naming:

• Single-image: posts/linkedin-post.md
• Carousel: posts/linkedin-carousel.md
• Thought leadership: posts/linkedin-thought-leadership.md

If the campaign folder is unknown, ask the user where to save before generating. Use the Write tool to create the file.

Your Task

Given the creative brief, PostConfig, and selected format, generate the requested number of LinkedIn post variations. Each variation should use a different hook approach or angle. Write copy that feels like a knowledgeable human wrote it — not a content brief executed by committee. Save the output to the appropriate posts/linkedin-*.md file as specified above.

For single-image and carousel formats: include a Graphic Spec section in each variation that feeds directly into generate-assets (asset type linkedin-post or linkedin-carousel-slide respectively).
