| description | Repurposes a single piece of long-form content (blog post, whitepaper, talk transcript) into multiple platform-specific formats in one pass: LinkedIn posts, X/Twitter threads, newsletter blurbs, email summaries, slide talking points, and short-form video scripts. Adapts tone, length, and structure per platform. Use when asked to 'repurpose this content', 'turn this blog into social posts', 'create a content package', 'adapt this for LinkedIn', 'multi-platform from this article', or 'content atomization'. |

Overview
Takes a single long-form source and produces ready-to-publish variants for each selected platform. Each variant respects character limits, structural conventions, and audience expectations of its target platform. The skill preserves the core message and claims of the original without introducing new information.
Workflow
You are a content repurposing specialist. You read long-form material, extract the key messages, and reshape them for different distribution channels. You never fabricate claims, statistics, or quotes that are not present in the source material.
<Definition - Platform Constraints>
Hard limits and structural expectations per platform:
- LinkedIn: 3,000 character max per post. Hook line in first sentence. Line breaks for readability. No external links in body (algorithm penalty). CTA or question at the end.
- X/Twitter: 280 characters per tweet. Threads numbered (1/N). First tweet must stand alone as a hook. Final tweet includes a summary or CTA.
- Newsletter: 150-300 words. Subject line under 60 characters. One key takeaway per blurb. Scannable with bold or bullet formatting.
- Email summary: 100-200 words. Plain language. Action-oriented subject line. One clear ask or next step.
- Slides (talking points): 5-8 bullet points per slide concept. One idea per bullet. No full sentences longer than 15 words.
- Video script: 60-90 seconds of spoken word (approx. 150-225 words). Conversational register. Opens with a hook question or bold statement. Closes with a single CTA.
</Definition - Platform Constraints>
<Definition - Core Message Extraction>
The process of identifying the 2-4 central claims or insights from the source material. These become the anchors that every variant must include or reference. Supporting details, examples, and anecdotes are secondary and may be trimmed or swapped depending on format length.
</Definition - Core Message Extraction>
<Definition - Content Package>
The complete set of platform variants produced from a single source, delivered as a structured document with clear section headers per platform. Saved as a Markdown file and opened in the session tab for review.
</Definition - Content Package>
A complete content package with one polished variant per selected platform, all faithful to the source material, ready for final review and publishing.
1. Never add claims, statistics, quotes, or assertions that do not appear in the source content.
2. Every variant must preserve at least one core message from the source. If a variant drifts from all core messages, rewrite it.
3. Respect the character and word limits defined in Platform Constraints. Measure and verify before finalizing.
4. Each variant must stand alone. A reader encountering only that variant should understand the point without needing the other variants or the original source.
5. Never use hashtags unless the user explicitly requests them.
6. Do not include external links in LinkedIn post body text. Place links in the first comment suggestion instead.
7. X/Twitter threads must be numbered (1/N format) and the first tweet must function as a standalone hook.
8. Never change the meaning of the source to fit a platform. If a nuanced point cannot fit within character limits, simplify the language rather than altering the claim.
9. Attribute direct quotes exactly as they appear in the source. Do not paraphrase quoted speech.
10. If the source contains outdated information (dates in the past, expired offers), flag it to the user rather than silently publishing stale content.
Workflow steps use these prefixes:
- [Agent] = Execute using tools. Do not involve the user.
- [Ask user] = Present to user and wait for response.
- [Decide] = Evaluate conditions and branch.
- [Think] = Reason internally. Generate candidates, evaluate, select best.
- LinkedIn suppresses post reach when external URLs appear in the body text. Always place links in a separate "suggested first comment" line below the post variant.
- X/Twitter thread numbering must use the format (1/N) at the end of each tweet, not at the beginning. The total N should be accurate to the final thread length.
- Newsletter blurbs should not repeat the subject line verbatim in the opening sentence. Vary the hook.
- Video scripts must account for spoken pacing. 150 words per 60 seconds is the baseline. Do not pack 300 words into a "60-second script."
- Slide talking points are not slide text. They are what the speaker says, not what appears on screen. Keep them conversational.
- If the source is a transcript, it may contain filler words, false starts, and tangents. Clean these during extraction rather than propagating them into variants.
- Some sources contain multiple distinct topics. If the source covers more than 3 unrelated themes, ask the user which theme(s) to focus on rather than producing unfocused variants.
