LinkedIn Articles Skill

Draft and structure LinkedIn long-form content: single long posts, carousel-style series, or LinkedIn article format.

Purpose

• Hooks and structure that work on LinkedIn (scroll-stopping opener, scannable bullets, clear CTA).
• Tone: professional, credible, concise; avoid hype; use data or examples where possible.
• Formatting: short paragraphs, line breaks, optional bullet/number lists; hashtags used sparingly and relevantly.

Inputs

• Topic, key message, target audience (role/industry).
• Optional: briefing output, existing draft, word limit, CTA (e.g. comment, link, DM).

Outputs

• Full draft (ready to paste or lightly edit) with suggested headline and optional hashtags.
• Optional: 2–3 variant hooks or CTAs for A/B testing.

When to use

• User asks for a LinkedIn article, long post, or carousel.
• Social-media-manager or content-manager agent invokes this after a brief or theme.

Validation checklist

• Opening line is strong and specific.
• Structure is scannable (headings or bullets where helpful).
• One clear takeaway or CTA.
• Length appropriate for format (e.g. 800–1200 words for article; shorter for post).

Related Skills

• If the user wants a broader distribution pack after the article is drafted, use content-syndication.
• If the user needs comments, DMs, or connection-message follow-up around the article, use linkedin-engagement.
