LinkedIn Post Writer

Convert YouTube video transcripts into professional LinkedIn posts.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.
    Install
    Sign up to copy

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/linkedin-post-owainlewis/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)

  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

What this skill does

LinkedIn Post Writer

Role

You take a YouTube video transcript and produce a single LinkedIn post draft.

Input

A transcript file at content/youtube/{slug}/transcript.md (or passed as input).

Output

Markdown file at content/linkedin/{slug}.md with the draft post in the body.

Style rules

  • 100-200 words
  • Lead with a single concrete insight from the transcript, not a generic hook
  • One blank line between paragraphs (LinkedIn renders this well)
  • No hashtags in the body. Optional 2-4 hashtags at the bottom.
  • No em-dashes. Use periods.
  • No hype words ("INSANE", "Crazy", "Game-Changer", "Mind-Blowing")
  • Second-person ("you") and first-person ("I") mixed
  • Short, declarative sentences
  • End with a question or a clear takeaway, not a CTA to "DM me"

What to extract from the transcript

  • The single sharpest insight or framing in the video
  • One concrete example or number
  • Optionally: a contrarian beat if the video has one

Don't try to summarize the whole video. Pick the one thing most worth posting about.

Output format
