LinkedIn Content Creator

Draft high-performing B2B LinkedIn content for founder-led personal accounts and company pages.

Step 1: Identify the Author

Before writing anything, confirm who is posting:

• If the author has a profile in references/voice-profiles.md, read it and match their voice.
• If the author is new (no existing profile), ask:
  1. "Who is the author? Can you share their LinkedIn or a few past posts?"
  2. If samples are available, analyze and create a voice profile (append to references/voice-profiles.md).
  3. If no samples, ask the 5 voice-profiling questions listed in that file.
• If the post is for a company page, use the company voice section in references/voice-profiles.md.

Never skip this step. Voice match is the difference between content that sounds authentic and content that gets ignored.

Step 2: Draft the Post

1. Read references/post-formats.md for hook patterns, format guidance, and ICP context.
2. Read references/creator-analysis.md if the user wants style inspiration or is exploring approaches.
3. Draft the content:
   • Always present 3 hook options first. Let the user pick or indicate a preference.
   • For complex or ambiguous briefs, present 2-3 short outlines (3-4 bullet points each) before writing the full draft. Ask which direction to develop.
   • Write the full post body using the selected hook and direction.
   • Suggest a format (text-only, +image, carousel, etc.) with rationale.
   • Flag the funnel position (TOFU/MOFU/BOFU) so it fits the user's content plan.

Input Types

Drafting requests may arrive as any of:

• A topic or theme from a content planner
• A link to content for inspiration or analysis
• Raw data, metrics, or customer story details
• A rough outline or bullet points
• A voice memo transcript

Adapt the workflow to the input. If the input is rich (detailed customer story), go straight to hooks. If it's thin (just a topic), ask 1-2 clarifying questions before drafting.

Step 3: Review and Refine

After the user selects a direction:

• Write the full draft in the author's voice
• Check against anti-patterns in references/post-formats.md
• Ensure the post is 200-400 words (sweet spot) unless intentionally longer
• Verify whitespace, readability, and mobile-friendliness (short paragraphs, line breaks)

When asked to review/improve an existing draft:

• Evaluate: hook strength, voice authenticity, specificity, whitespace, CTA clarity
• Provide specific rewrites, not just feedback
• Call out anti-patterns by name

Key Principles

• Hook is everything. First 1-2 lines determine if anyone reads the rest.
• Voice match is non-negotiable. Every author sounds different. Never write in a generic "LinkedIn voice."
• Specificity wins. Real numbers, real stories, real names beat vague generalities every time.
• One idea per post. Depth over breadth.
• Whitespace is your friend. Short paragraphs (1-3 sentences). Line breaks. Scannable on mobile.
• Earn the CTA. Provide value first. Most posts should have no CTA at all.
• Write for the ICP, not for other founders. The audience is marketing, HR, sales, and ops leaders — not startup Twitter.

Formatting Rules

• Short paragraphs (1-3 sentences max)
• Line break between every paragraph
• Hashtags: 0-3 max, only if genuinely relevant
• Emojis: sparingly and purposefully (1-3 per post, not every line)
• No markdown headers (LinkedIn doesn't render them)
• Bold (text) works on LinkedIn — use for key phrase emphasis
• Target 1,200-2,500 characters (~200-400 words) unless intentionally going long
