Create Social Media Posts
Draft social media posts for sharing a blog post on X/Twitter, Mastodon, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Process
- Read the blog post to understand its content and tone
- Determine the blog post URL from the file name:
https://tobiha.de/YYYY/MM/DD/slug/
- Create a Markdown file named
social-media-YYYY-MM-DD.md in the project root
- Present the draft for review
Output Format
The output file has a header with the blog post URL for reference, followed by sections for each platform separated by ---:
# Social Media Posts: Post Title
Blog post URL: https://tobiha.de/YYYY/MM/DD/slug/
---
## X/Twitter
...
---
## Mastodon
...
---
## Facebook
...
---
## LinkedIn
...
Rules
- One link per platform: Only include the blog post URL, no additional links
- No hashtags: On any platform
- No product name dropping: Keep the focus on the topic, not specific tools or services
- Same opener on all platforms: Start every post with the same line, beginning with a relevant emoji (e.g., "🔊 New blog post: Post Title")
- Casual tone: Match the blog post's conversational, first-person style
Platform-Specific Guidelines
X/Twitter and Mastodon
Keep it short. Do not prefix the link with "New blog post:" or similar, because the OG card (title, description, image) already provides that context. The link appears as a rich card preview.
Facebook and LinkedIn
Slightly longer format with more context. Include a brief summary of the problem and solution. The opener line ("🔊 New blog post: ...") goes at the top, followed by a paragraph of context, then the link at the end.
LinkedIn can be the longest and most detailed of the four.
