What it does

Employee Generated Content is an agent skill from kostja94/marketing-skills. When the user wants to plan, implement, or optimize employee-generated content (EGC) or employee advocacy. Also use when the user mentions "EGC," "employee advocacy," "employee content," "internal brand ambassadors," "employee social media," "employee advocacy program," "staff advocacy," "LinkedIn employee posts," or "brand ambassador program." For LinkedIn, use linkedin-posts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Social media posts and Influencer and creator marketing. It works with LinkedIn. The repository describes itself as: Agent Skills for Marketing — SEO, Social, Influencer & More. 160+ open-source skills for SEO, content, 40+ page types, paid ads, channels, and strategies. Add project context… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Optimize employee-generated content (EGC)
  • Employee advocacy
  • The user mentions EGC
  • Employee content

Example prompts

  • “employee advocacy,”
  • “employee content,”
  • “internal brand ambassadors,”
  • “/employee-generated-content”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Goal: Brand trust, thought leadership, recruitment, or conversion
  2. Platform: LinkedIn (B2B primary), X, Instagram, TikTok
  3. Employee base: Size, roles, existing social presence

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8dd89c5. 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

Employee Generated Content loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 487 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

Channels: EGC (Employee-Generated Content)

Guides EGC and employee advocacy strategy for AI/SaaS products. EGC is content created by employees (social posts, videos, blogs, testimonials) that reflects authentic workplace and product insights. Employee-shared content generates ~8x more engagement than brand posts; LinkedIn employee posts reach ~561% more than brand content.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Initial Assessment

Project context: Read root contextus.md when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.

Identify:

  1. Goal: Brand trust, thought leadership, recruitment, or conversion
  2. Platform: LinkedIn (B2B primary), X, Instagram, TikTok
  3. Employee base: Size, roles, existing social presence

Implementation Best Practices

Do not force participation. Recognize and nurture organic content from employees already sharing about work. Volunteer participation outperforms mandated programs.

PracticePurpose
Tiered frameworkMap employees by engagement (nano, micro, macro); treat like internal influencer tiers
Brief templatesContent objectives, brand voice, mandatory disclosures (FTC/ASA)
Advocacy platformsSociabble, EveryoneSocial for brief distribution and tracking
IncentivesLeaderboards, recognition; avoid heavy-handed quotas
TrainingImprove quality and consistency; keep approval simple
Centralized hubBranded hashtags, content library, approval workflow

B2B / SaaS Specifics

  • LinkedIn first: Algorithm favors personal posts; employees as thought leaders
  • Cost-effective: Leverage existing workforce vs hiring external creators
  • Diverse perspectives: Sales, support, dev create varied content for different segments
  • Recruitment: 79% of job seekers check social before applying; EGC attracts 58% more top talent, 20% retention boost

Output Format

  • Platform and content format selection
  • Employee identification and tier approach
  • Content strategy and brief template
  • Governance (approval, disclosure, brand guidelines)
  • Measurement plan (engagement, reach, conversions)
  • influencer-marketing: External influencers; EGC is internal
  • creator-program: External creators; EGC is employee-driven
  • linkedin-posts: Primary EGC platform for B2B
  • integrated-marketing: EGC as part of PESO shared/earned media
  • traffic-analysis: UTM tagging for employee-shared links
