social-media_skill

Overview

This skill helps you create short-form social media content for LinkedIn, Twitter/X, and similar platforms, combining written posts and required visuals. It enforces a research-first workflow, platform-specific formats, and a reproducible output structure so each post is saved with its image.

How this skill works

Before writing, the skill delegates research to a researcher subagent and requires reading the saved findings. It then generates post content and a matching image using the generate_social_image tool, and writes both to a platform-specific folder (e.g., linkedin/<slug>/post.md and image.png). It validates hooks, length, tone, hashtags, and that an image exists before completing.

When to use it

• Draft a LinkedIn post that shares an insight, announcement, or lesson learned
• Compose a Twitter/X thread to explain a concept or narrate a short story
• Repurpose blog or long-form content into short social content
• Create social announcements or product launch copy
• Generate visual-first posts that need a clear, simple image

Best practices

• Always run a researcher subagent first and read research/<slug>.md before drafting
• Save content to platform/<slug>/post.md or tweets/<slug>/thread.md and generate image.png alongside it
• Start LinkedIn with a one-line hook, use line breaks, and end with 3–5 relevant hashtags
• Keep tweets ≤280 characters per tweet, use threads with 1/🧵 numbering, and max 2 hashtags per tweet
• Design images with a single focal point, bold contrast, minimal background, and no text

Example use cases

• Announce a product update on LinkedIn with impact context and a CTA link
• Turn a research summary into a 5-tweet Twitter/X thread with evidence and conclusion
• Share a personal leadership lesson on LinkedIn with a hook and question to invite replies
• Create a launch teaser image and short post for cross-platform promotion
• Repurpose a blog section into a concise insight post plus a striking social image
