Write, optimize, and polish LinkedIn articles for maximum engagement and reach. This skill guides from-scratch article creation, draft optimization, compelling hooks and headlines, SEO and hashtag strategies, to readability-focused restructuring.
How This Skill Works
Technically, it operates via two workflows: writing from scratch and optimizing existing drafts. For new articles, it guides you to clarify topic, audience, and goal; choose a structure from references/article-structure.md; craft a hook with patterns from references/hooks-patterns.md; draft the body and close with a CTA, then apply SEO and hashtags from references/seo-hashtags.md. For optimization, it uses a quick checklist to assess the draft, rewrites the hook if needed, tightens structure with subheadings every 200-300 words, sharpens the CTA, and applies SEO improvements.
