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).
Instructions
- Identify the target channel by its canonical ID from the list above.
- Read that channel's spec in
channels/<id>.md — each spec defines Format, Length, Structure, Do, and Avoid.
- Draft the derivative to the spec, mapping the source's core message onto that channel's hook and structure.
- Check the character or word count and enforce the channel's limit; trim or split as the spec requires.
- Run the
brand-voice self-check so the draft obeys the brand's tone, glossary, and compliance rules.
