Channel Formats

Overview

Channel Formats adapts a single source into the shape each platform expects, then hands the draft to the brand layer. Format is the container; brand voice is the content.

Every channel has its own limits and conventions: a LinkedIn post is not an X thread, and a YouTube description is not an Instagram caption. This skill reads the spec for the requested channel from the plugin's bundled channels/<id>.md files, drafts to that spec, and enforces the length limit. It is instruction-driven and writes ready-to-paste files, with no accounts, keys, or network access.

Prerequisites

• The source content to adapt (a file path or pasted text) and one or more target channels.
• The bundled channel specs, which ship inside this skill at channels/. The skill uses Glob and Read to load the right spec and Write to save each derivative.
• An active brand profile so the brand-voice skill can run on top; if none exists, the caller is pointed to /brand-setup.

Channels (canonical IDs)

The channel ID is also the output filename (for example linkedin.md).

• linkedin — professional single post — channels/linkedin.md
• x-thread — multi-post thread — channels/x-thread.md
• newsletter — email newsletter section — channels/newsletter.md
• instagram — caption plus hashtags — channels/instagram.md
• youtube — description with timestamped chapters — channels/youtube.md
• short-video — TikTok, Reels, or Shorts script — channels/short-video.md
