What it does
Post Formatter is an agent skill from charlie947/social-media-skills. Turn a topic into a ready-to-publish LinkedIn post using PAS, AIDA, BAB, STAR, or SLAY frameworks. Up to 20 nonblank lines, 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.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Linting and formatting and Social media posts. It works with LinkedIn. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says format this as a post
- Turn this into a LinkedIn post
- Write it as PAS
- Any named framework
Example prompts
- “format this as a post”
- “turn this into a LinkedIn post”
- “write it as PAS”
- “/post-formatter”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8cefb5b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Post Formatter loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 634 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Post Formatter
Codex and Claude runtime
- Use this skill in Codex or Claude with the tools actually available in the current task.
AskUserQuestionexamples describe the questions, not a required API: use an available question tool within its limits, or ask in chat. Reuse answers and source material already supplied. - Work in the user-selected project. Read its
about-me.md,voice.mdand relevant brand files before personalised work. Confirm the intended author if files conflict or contain starter defaults. Ask for missing facts or runvoice-builder; never inherit the maintainer's identity, accounts or private files. - Resolve bundled
references/relative to this skill folder. For an explicitly requested profile refresh, read and update the canonicalabout-me.md,voice.mdornewsletter-voice.mdin place, preserving unrelated user facts and rules. Consumers must reread those canonical files. Use a new filename only for new deliverables that would collide with unrelated existing files. Installation alone never starts an interview or writes files. Do not write persistent learnings unless requested. - Use supplied evidence first. Verify external claims through available search/source tools when needed. If a source or integration is unavailable, name the missing capability and offer supplied text/export input. Never invent facts, first-person experience, metrics or a successful tool run.
- Connect only services needed for the chosen route through the user's existing account. Never print credentials or overwrite connections. Drafting, saving and reviewing do not authorise publishing, sending messages or changing accounts.
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:
[
{
"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 nonblank lines. Target 150 to 200 words where the line limits allow; do not pad to a word minimum. User-supplied copy and required facts take precedence over the target.
- 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"
Show full SKILL.md (229 more words)Show less
Step 3. Structure
- Line 1 (Hook): Plain text for pasting into LinkedIn. 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. Keep the actual number and order of required steps or items; do not force a trio. 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
Final 1 to 2 lines (Wrap and CTA): close the lesson within the 20 nonblank line total. Use the author’s closing style. A repost CTA is optional when appropriate.
Step 4. Output
Output the finished post inside a code block. Keep any next-step question outside the paste-ready copy.
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
- The code block contains only the finished post.
- 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.
- Preserve required item coverage. Count nonblank lines and characters in the exact final copy.
