What it does
Channel Formats is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Transforms one piece of content into each marketing channel's native format — length, structure, hooks, and conventions — across LinkedIn, X threads, newsletters, Instagram, YouTube, short video, and blogs. Use when reformatting content for a specific channel. Trigger with "channel format", "adapt for LinkedIn", or "/multiply".
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `channels/blog.md`, `channels/instagram.md` and `channels/linkedin.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Social media posts, Newsletters and Video scripts and shorts. It works with LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Reformatting content for a specific channel
- With channel format
- Adapt for LinkedIn
Example prompts
- “channel format”
- “adapt for LinkedIn”
- “/multiply”
- “/channel-formats”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Glob
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the target channel by its canonical ID from the list above.
- Read that channel's spec in channels/.md — each spec defines Format, Length, Structure, Do, and Avoid.
- Draft the derivative to the spec, mapping the source's core message onto that channel's hook and structure.
- Check the character or word count and enforce the channel's limit; trim or split as the spec requires.
- Run the brand-voice self-check so the draft obeys the brand's tone, glossary, and compliance rules.
- For localized copy, re-fit after transcreation because text expands or contracts across languages.
- Write one file per derivative, named after the channel ID.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteGlob
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.
Compatibility
Designed for Claude Code
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Channel Formats loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 610 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.

Channel Formats
Overview
Channel Formats adapts a single source into the shape each platform expects, then hands the draft to the brand layer. Format is the container; brand voice is the content.
Every channel has its own limits and conventions: a LinkedIn post is not an X thread, and a YouTube description is not an Instagram caption.
This skill reads the spec for the requested channel from the plugin's bundled channels/<id>.md files, drafts to that spec, and enforces the length limit.
It is instruction-driven and writes ready-to-paste files, with no accounts, keys, or network access.
Prerequisites
- The source content to adapt (a file path or pasted text) and one or more target channels.
- The bundled channel specs, which ship inside this skill at
channels/. The skill uses Glob and Read to load the right spec and Write to save each derivative. - An active brand profile so the
brand-voiceskill can run on top; if none exists, the caller is pointed to/brand-setup.
Channels (canonical IDs)
The channel ID is also the output filename (for example linkedin.md).
linkedin— professional single post — channels/linkedin.mdx-thread— multi-post thread — channels/x-thread.mdnewsletter— email newsletter section — channels/newsletter.mdinstagram— caption plus hashtags — channels/instagram.mdyoutube— description with timestamped chapters — channels/youtube.mdshort-video— TikTok, Reels, or Shorts script — channels/short-video.mdblog— short post or excerpt — channels/blog.md
Instructions
- Identify the target channel by its canonical ID from the list above.
- Read that channel's spec in
channels/<id>.md— each spec defines Format, Length, Structure, Do, and Avoid. - Draft the derivative to the spec, mapping the source's core message onto that channel's hook and structure.
- Check the character or word count and enforce the channel's limit; trim or split as the spec requires.
- Run the
brand-voiceself-check so the draft obeys the brand's tone, glossary, and compliance rules. - For localized copy, re-fit after transcreation because text expands or contracts across languages.
- Write one file per derivative, named after the channel ID.
Output
One ready-to-paste file per channel, named by the channel ID (linkedin.md, x-thread.md, and so on). Each file holds the fully drafted asset, already inside the channel's limit and already run through the brand self-check. Threads and multi-part formats are numbered as the platform expects.

Error Handling
| Condition | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Unknown channel ID | List the supported IDs and ask which to use; do not guess a format |
| Source too thin for a channel | Draft what the source supports and flag the gap rather than inventing facts |
| Draft exceeds the channel limit | Trim or split per the spec; never ship over-limit copy |
| No brand profile available | Draft to format, then note that the brand self-check was skipped |
| Localized text overflows after transcreation | Re-fit to the channel limit before writing the file |
Examples
Example: adapt one source to several channels
/multiply launch-note.md --channels linkedin,x-thread,instagram
Reads each channel spec, drafts three derivatives, runs the brand self-check, and writes linkedin.md, x-thread.md, and instagram.md.
Example: single channel from pasted text
Turn this paragraph into an X thread
Loads channels/x-thread.md, splits the idea into hooked, numbered posts within the per-post limit.
Example: re-fit localized copy
Fit the German LinkedIn draft back under the limit
Applies the LinkedIn spec to the expanded German text and trims it back within range.
