post-formatter

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Turn a topic into a ready-to-publish LinkedIn post using PAS, AIDA, BAB, STAR, or SLAY frameworks. 200 to 250 words, 20 lines max, mobile-formatted with blank lines between sentences. Use this skill whenever the user says "format this as a post", "turn this into a LinkedIn post", "write it as PAS" or any named framework, or wants a properly structured post from a topic. Different from post-writer: post-formatter applies a strict framework. post-writer drafts in the user's voice without framework constraints.

Post Formatter

CRITICAL: Auto-start on load

When this skill triggers, go straight to Step 1. Do not summarise. Start input gathering immediately.

Step 1. Gather inputs

Call AskUserQuestion:

json

[
  {
    "question": "What topic do you want to post about?",
    "header": "Topic",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "I will type the topic", "description": "Single sentence describing the subject"},
      {"label": "Paste a context dump", "description": "Notes, stats, transcripts to turn into a post"}
    ]
  },
  {
    "question": "Which framework?",
    "header": "Framework",
    "multiSelect": false,
    "options": [
      {"label": "PAS", "description": "Problem, Agitation, Solution"},
      {"label": "AIDA", "description": "Attention, Interest, Desire, Action"},
      {"label": "BAB", "description": "Before, After, Bridge"},
      {"label": "STAR", "description": "Situation, Task, Action, Result"},
      {"label": "SLAY", "description": "Story, Lesson, Actionable advice, You"},
      {"label": "Pick for me", "description": "Recommend the best framework based on the topic"}
    ]
  }
]

Ask one follow-up:

Anything else I should know? Facts, stats, tone notes, or who this is for.

Wait for response.

Step 2. Write the post

Apply these global rules to every output:

Maximum 20 lines, 200 to 250 words total (~1,200 characters)
Blank line after every line
Most lines: one sentence, 55 characters or fewer
Up to 4 lines may be mini-paragraphs (2 to 3 sentences, 110 characters or fewer)
Grade 6 words. Zero adverbs, zero jargon, zero fluff
No em dashes
No questions unless the hook itself is a question
No emojis except checkmarks for numbered lists (1. 2. 3.) and the recycle symbol in the CTA
Rule of Three: use at most two trios per post
Vary sentence starts. Do not over-use "I"

Step 3. Structure

Line 1 (Hook): Bold. 50 characters or fewer.
Line 2 (Twist / Contrast): 50 characters or fewer. Opposes or surprises the hook.
Lines 3 to 18 (Core): The chosen framework, split across 3 to 5 lines per stage. Any list inside a stage must have exactly three items (1. 2. 3.). Use arrows to show flow where useful.

Framework maps:

PAS: Problem -> Agitation -> Solution
AIDA: Attention -> Interest -> Desire -> Action
BAB: Before -> After -> Bridge
STAR: Situation -> Task -> Action -> Result
SLAY: Story -> Lesson -> Actionable advice -> You
Lines 19 to 20 (Wrap and CTA): 2 to 3 lines that lock the lesson. Close with one of these phrases followed by the recycle symbol: "Repost if", "Repost this", or "If this helped, repost".

Step 4. Output

Output the finished post inside a code block. No preamble, no trailing notes.

Step 5. Offer the next move

After the post, ask:

Want a matching graphic (graphic-designer skill) or want me to score it against your post history (post-scorer skill)?

Rules

Return the finished post only. No meta-commentary.
Enforce line length, word count, and lines count limits. Count them.
Never use em dashes.
British English unless voice.md specifies otherwise.
If the user has voice.md in the project, tune tone and rhythm to match it.
If a trio is used, it has exactly three items. Not two, not four.
