Per-Platform Formatting
Each platform has different norms. The skill applies these automatically, but it helps to understand why.
LinkedIn — Professional context expected. Posts can be longer (up to around 3,000 characters for personal posts). Line breaks read well. Leading with a hook sentence, then context, then the point, works consistently. Hashtags go at the end if at all.
Threads — Reads like a conversation. Shorter works better — not because of a strict limit but because long blocks of text feel out of place. Write like you’re telling someone in passing, not presenting at a conference.
X — 280 characters is the hard limit for standard posts. The skill trims aggressively and prompts you if the content can’t be shortened without losing meaning. Threads (the X kind, not the app) are available for longer content but the skill defaults to single posts unless you ask for a thread.
The skill drafts all three versions from your single description. You review them together, edit individually if needed, and approve the ones you want to queue.
