What it does

Linkedin Post Formatter is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Format and draft compelling LinkedIn posts using Unicode bold/italic styling, visual separators, structured sections, and engagement-optimized patterns. USE FOR: draft LinkedIn post, format text for LinkedIn, create social media post, write thought leadership post, convert content to LinkedIn format, LinkedIn carousel text, Unicode bold italic formatting.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/unicode-charmap.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts and Linting and formatting. It works with LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : draft LinkedIn post
  • Format text for LinkedIn
  • Create social media post
  • Write thought leadership post

Example prompts

  • “/linkedin-post-formatter”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Line breaks matter: LinkedIn collapses multiple blank lines. Use single blank lines between paragraphs.
  2. Hook above the fold: The first 2-3 lines must compel the reader to click "see more." Front-load value.
  3. Short paragraphs: 1-3 sentences max per paragraph. Wall of text kills engagement.
  4. Bold sparingly: Bold key phrases and headers, not entire paragraphs.
  5. Italic for nuance: Use italic for technical terms, internal thoughts, or subtle emphasis.
  6. Hashtags at the end: 5-8 relevant hashtags on the last line. No mid-post hashtags.
  7. No emojis in body unless the user explicitly requests them. Exception: one strategic emoji in CTA (♻️ for repost).
  8. Character limit: LinkedIn posts can be up to 3000 characters. Aim for 1500-2500 for optimal engagement.
  9. No URLs in body: LinkedIn suppresses reach for posts with links. Add links in comments instead. Mention "link in comments" or "grab it…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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.

    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

Linkedin Post Formatter loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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.

description
Format and draft compelling LinkedIn posts using Unicode bold/italic styling, visual separators, structured sections, and engagement-optimized patterns. USE FOR: draft LinkedIn post, format text for LinkedIn, create social media post, write thought leadership post, convert content to LinkedIn format, LinkedIn carousel text, Unicode bold italic formatting.

LinkedIn Post Formatter

Transform raw content, ideas, or technical material into polished, engagement-optimized LinkedIn posts using Unicode typography and proven structural patterns.

Overview

LinkedIn only supports plain text — no Markdown rendering, no rich formatting. This skill uses Unicode Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols to simulate bold, italic, and bold-italic text that renders natively in the LinkedIn editor without any external tools.

Unicode Typography Reference

When converting plain text into Unicode-styled LinkedIn text, first load and use references/unicode-charmap.md as the authoritative character mapping reference.

Apply these character mappings to create visual emphasis in plain text:

Bold (Mathematical Sans-Serif Bold)

Use bold for key phrases, section headers, and emphasis words.

PlainUnicode Bold
A-Z𝗔-𝗭
a-z𝗮-𝘇
0-9𝟬-𝟵
Italic (Mathematical Sans-Serif Italic)

Use italic for subtle emphasis, technical terms, or quotes.

PlainUnicode Italic
A-Z𝘈-𝘡
a-z𝘢-𝘻
Bold-Italic (Mathematical Sans-Serif Bold Italic)

Use sparingly for maximum emphasis.

PlainUnicode Bold-Italic
A-Z𝘼-𝙕
a-z𝙖-𝙯

Visual Separators

Use these characters to create visual structure:

  • Section divider: ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ (box-drawing heavy horizontal)
  • Bullet points: ◈ (diamond with dot) or ◎ (bullseye)
  • Arrow flow: ↓ for vertical flow, → for horizontal continuation
  • Sub-points: ↳ for indented sub-items
  • Numbered items: Use bold Unicode digits 𝟭. 𝟮. 𝟯. etc.

Post Structure Patterns

Pattern 1: Hook → Content → CTA (General Purpose)
[Bold hook line — provocative statement or question]

[1-2 lines of context setting the stage]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Main content with bold section headers]
[Bullet points using ◈ or numbered with bold digits]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Bold takeaway or summary]

[Call to action — repost, comment, or grab resource]

#Hashtags
Pattern 2: Listicle (Numbered Insights)
[Bold opening line with a strong claim]

[Setup line explaining what follows]

𝟭. [Bold item title]
   [Supporting detail]

𝟮. [Bold item title]
   [Supporting detail]

...

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆: [Summary in italic]

#Hashtags
Pattern 3: Story → Lesson (Thought Leadership)
[Italic opening with a personal or observed moment]

[2-3 short paragraphs telling the story]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻:

[Bold lesson or principle extracted from the story]

[CTA]

#Hashtags
Pattern 4: Resource Share (Cheatsheet/Guide/Tool)
[Hook: "If you do X, you cannot miss this..."]

[Brief description of what the resource covers]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Bold section count]. [Bold section titles as numbered list]

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆:

[Why this resource matters — bold key phrase]

[Grab it / Share it CTA]

♻️ 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 if this is useful to your network.

#Hashtags

Formatting Rules

  1. Line breaks matter: LinkedIn collapses multiple blank lines. Use single blank lines between paragraphs.
  2. Hook above the fold: The first 2-3 lines must compel the reader to click "see more." Front-load value.
  3. Short paragraphs: 1-3 sentences max per paragraph. Wall of text kills engagement.
  4. Bold sparingly: Bold key phrases and headers, not entire paragraphs.

  8. Character limit: LinkedIn posts can be up to 3000 characters. Aim for 1500-2500 for optimal engagement.
  9. No URLs in body: LinkedIn suppresses reach for posts with links. Add links in comments instead. Mention "link in comments" or "grab it below" as CTA.

Engagement Optimization

  • Opening hooks that work: Questions, bold claims, "If you do X...", contrarian takes, surprising stats.
  • Closing CTAs that work: "♻️ 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 if...", "Save this for later", "Tag someone who needs this", "What's your take? 👇"
  • Whitespace is your friend: Dense text gets scrolled past. Airy, scannable layout wins.
  • The "see more" hook: LinkedIn truncates posts after ~210 characters on desktop. Make sure the first 2 lines create enough curiosity to click.

Process

  1. Analyze the source content (text, HTML, image, or idea).
  2. Identify the best post structure pattern (Hook→Content→CTA, Listicle, Story→Lesson, Resource Share).
  3. Extract the core message and 3-5 key points.
  4. Apply Unicode bold/italic formatting to headers and emphasis words using references/unicode-charmap.md.
  5. Add visual separators between sections.
  6. Write a compelling hook for the opening.
  7. Add a CTA and hashtags at the end.
  8. Verify the post is copy-paste ready for LinkedIn.
