LinkedIn Content Skill
Generate LinkedIn content that sounds human, builds credibility, and drives engagement.
The Problem We're Solving
54% of LinkedIn long-form posts are now AI-generated. AI content gets 45% less engagement because readers detect it instinctively. This skill creates content that sounds like YOU, not like ChatGPT.
Key Stats (2025-2026)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| AI content penalty | 30% less reach, 55% less engagement |
| Optimal post frequency | 3-4 times per week |
| Golden hour | First 60-90 minutes critical |
| Hashtag limit | Max 5 (more = 35% reach drop) |
| Comments importance | #1 algorithm factor |
| Link penalty | Up to 70% if in main post |
Workflow
User describes topic → Identify content type → Apply anti-AI rules → Generate + shorter version
Content Types
| Type | Trigger | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Post | "write a post about..." | 50-150 words |
| Bio/Headline | "update my bio" | 1-4 lines |
| Comment | "comment on this" | 2-4 sentences |
| Article | "write an article" | 800-1500 words |

How to Sound Human
- Add personal story - Specific example from YOUR experience
- Use contractions - "I'm", "don't", "can't" (AI often doesn't)
- Include imperfection - One casual phrase or incomplete thought
- Be specific - Numbers, names, dates (not vague claims)
- Read aloud test - If you wouldn't say it, rewrite it
Post Structure
Hook (First 150 characters)
Critical - this shows before "See more". Must stop the scroll.
Good hooks:
- Question that creates curiosity
- Surprising stat or insight
- Bold statement/hot take
- Personal failure or lesson
Bad hooks:
- "I'm excited to share..."
- "In today's fast-paced world..."
- Generic announcement
Body
- Short paragraphs (1-2 sentences max)
- Bullet points for features/lists
- One idea per paragraph
- White space between sections
CTA (End)
- Ask a question
- Invite comments
- Share link in FIRST COMMENT (not in post)
