What hook formulas does LinkedIn Post Writer use?

It uses 20 proven 2026 hook formulas including anaphora, R.I.P. obituary, year-over-year pivot, curiosity gap, emotional cold-open, controlled A/B, false-binary, and 13 others. The skill picks the formula based on your stated engagement goal.

Does LinkedIn Post Writer automatically publish posts?

No. It always shows a draft first and waits for your explicit approval before anything is published — nothing posts automatically.

What is the founder layer and how do I activate it?

The founder layer includes 10 fill-in founder angle templates and four additional structural hook formulas optimized for trust with high-stakes readers like investors or hires. You activate it by telling the Post Writer 'I am a founder.'

What optional integrations does LinkedIn Post Writer support?

It supports Publora (a publishing API that handles LinkedIn's quirks, with a free tier of 15 posts/month) and Pixfaro (an image generation API that can composite your handle, brand color, or logo onto generated images). Both require API keys configured via `.env` file; without them, the skill falls back to drafting content for manual publishing.

What voice rules does LinkedIn Post Writer enforce?

It enforces em dashes capped at roughly one per 100 words, names always capitalized, a banned list of AI vocabulary like 'leverage' and 'streamline,' specific numbers preferred over adjectives, one sharp insight per comment over three vague ones, and targets posts at 900–1,300 characters.

Overview

LinkedIn Post Writer

LinkedIn Post Writer drafts long-form posts using 16 hook formulas reverse-engineered from top-performing posts. It starts from what the post should earn, shortlists two or three formulas, fills one in your voice and scrubs the draft for AI tells. Use it to draft a LinkedIn post by the outcome you want: comments, reposts, likes or saves. Scheduling and publishing are not included in this standalone version.

What it does

LinkedIn Post Writer drafts long-form LinkedIn posts using 16 hook formulas that were reverse-engineered from posts that outperformed their authors' baselines in 2025 and 2026, each with a reference engagement number. Instead of asking what to write, the workflow asks what the post should earn: comments, reposts, likes or saves.

The workflow runs in four moves. It first fixes the goal of the post, then shortlists two or three formulas that match that goal, then fills the chosen formula's skeleton with the user's own voice, and finally scrubs the draft for tells that read as machine-written before it ships.

This standalone skill covers the drafting workflow. It is the flagship skill of the sergebulaev/linkedin-skills bundle, a 10-skill LinkedIn set that installs as a Claude Code or Codex plugin. The full bundle adds a writer, a humanizer, a pre-publish audit, a comment drafter, a reply handler, a hook extractor, a content planner, a profile optimizer, engager analytics and a thread monitor, and it is where scheduling and publishing automation live.

When to use - and when NOT to

Use it when you want to draft a long-form post for the professional network and choose its structure by the outcome you want, whether that is comments, reposts, likes or saves. Do not expect scheduling or publishing from this standalone version, because those are part of the full bundle.
