## What it does

This skill writes publish-ready LinkedIn copy and revises existing drafts. It accounts for character count and the structure before the “See more” threshold, so the opening line has a clear job in the feed.

It treats short posts, articles, documents, polls, newsletters and reshares as separate formats. The CTA and length change with the format: copy for a document deck needs a different shape from a short opinion post.

Short LinkedIn feed posts are login-gated and are not indexed by search engines. That means they should not be your main asset for search visibility. Use the separate `linkedin-ads` skill for LinkedIn ads.

# Platforms: LinkedIn

Guides LinkedIn post copy creation and optimization. Use for generating publish-ready professional content. Suitable for copy agents and design agents (image specs).

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Output: Publish-Ready Copy

This skill enables agents to generate LinkedIn post copy optimized for engagement. Output includes character-counted text and structure for the "See more" threshold.

## Post Types and Entry Points (organic)

| Kind | What to know |
|------|----------------|
| **Start a post** | Short update; can include **link preview** if you paste a URL. Same feed format as other updates. |
| **Photo** | Single or multiple images (carousel in feed). |
| **Video** | Uploaded file (distinct from **LinkedIn Live**, which is live streaming and has separate gating). |
| **Write article** | **Article** = long-form editor, **separate** from the short post box; long URL, better for depth and some **off-site** discoverability. |
| **Document** | PDF / PPT / DOC (slides in feed). Official limits (check current help): on the order of **~100MB / ~300 pages** per file—verify when publishing. |
| **Poll** | Engagement driver; keep question and options scannable. |
| **More** (menu) | Often includes **celebrations**, **hiring**-style share, **Find an expert**, etc. (varies by product/region). |
| **Reshare** | Reshare or **quote** another member’s post with your take—adds context; avoid empty reshares. |
| **Newsletter** | **Series** subscription; not the same as a one-off post but compound reach over time. |
| **Event** | Create/promote events via a dedicated flow, not the same as a plain text post. |

**Product detail**: [Get started with posting on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a518996) · [Upload and share documents](https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a518909)

**Why it matters for copy**: Match CTA and length to the **form** (e.g. a document deck vs a 5-line hot take). Do not treat a **short post** and an **Article** as interchangeable.

## Platform Positioning

LinkedIn is a professional network—its core value is career identity, B2B relationships, and professional content. Key differences from general social platforms:

| Dimension | LinkedIn | Meta / X / TikTok |
|-----------|----------|--------------------|
