Quick Reference

The job

Repurpose one piece of long-form content into platform-native posts for X, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Threads. Write hook-first, one idea per post. Deliver posts that are ready to paste, plus a self-lint result, not a rough sketch.

Process

1. Intake: source material, target platform(s), goal (reach, replies, clicks, follows), voice.
2. Pull the atomic ideas out of the source. One idea becomes one post.
3. Write native for each platform: the first line is the whole game.
4. Self-lint with social_lint per platform, fix every flag, re-run until it passes.
5. Deliver the posts, labeled by platform, with any link noted for a reply on X.

Hook-first (the core skill)

The first line has to earn the second. Lead with the payoff, the surprising claim, or the tension, never with throat-clearing ("So,", "I wanted to talk about"). On LinkedIn and Instagram the feed truncates the hook (LinkedIn around 140–210 chars, Instagram around 125), so the promise has to land before the "…more".

Platform specs (official limits)

• X/Twitter: 280 chars per post. A thread is blank-line-separated posts, each ≤ 280.
• Threads: 500 chars per post.
• LinkedIn: 3,000 char limit; truncates around 140–210 chars on mobile.
• Instagram: 2,200 char caption; hard cap of 5 hashtags per post (official, since Dec 2025); truncates around 125 chars.

Discipline

• One idea per post. Hashtags: ≤ 3 best practice on X/LinkedIn/Threads; Instagram hard-caps at 5 per post (3 to 5 recommended).
• Every post earns a reply: end with a genuine question, an ask, or a link.
• No engagement-bait ("tag 3 friends", "smash that like"), no all-caps shouting, no emoji walls.

Know this

• A raw external link inside an X post can reduce organic reach (observed pattern). Put the link in a reply and say "link in reply".
• Reuse the house voice: no em dashes, no marketing fluff, no AI tells. Never fabricate metrics.
• Always run social_lint for each platform before delivering.
