What it does

Media Writer is an agent skill from shareAI-lab/lab-skills. Create platform-native content that resonates with each community's culture. Use when adapting technical content for WeChat, Hacker News, Reddit, Medium, Twitter/X, Dev.to, or LinkedIn. Transforms generic writing into content that feels written BY that community, not AT them.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 8 other files, including reference files (for example `references/devto.md`, `references/hackernews.md` and `references/linkedin.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots and Social publishing and cross-posting. It works with Reddit, WeChat, LinkedIn and X (Twitter). The repository describes itself as: Skills distilled from the Lab's real work and collaboration practices. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Adapting technical content for WeChat
  • Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots
  • Tasks that involve Social publishing and cross-posting

Example prompts

  • “/media-writer”

Workflow steps

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

  1. First 10 seconds decide everything - Hook or die
  2. Every platform has status games - Learn what earns respect
  3. Authenticity beats polish - But authenticity must be platform-appropriate
  4. Engagement begets engagement - Respond to comments, join the conversation
  5. Timing matters - Each platform has optimal posting windows

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit becee99. 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

Media Writer loads about 870 tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 401 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~870
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.2k

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.

Media Writer

Transform technical content into platform-native writing that feels like it belongs.

The Core Truth

Every platform is a culture, not a format.

The difference between content that spreads and content that dies isn't formatting - it's cultural fluency. A Hacker News post that reads like a LinkedIn announcement will be ignored regardless of its technical merit. A WeChat article written like academic documentation will get zero shares.

Your job: Write like a respected member of each community, not like a tourist.

The Mindset Shift

Before writing for any platform, understand:

  • Who are these people? Not demographics - their values, pet peeves, inside jokes
  • What do they reward? Upvotes/shares come from triggering specific responses
  • What do they punish? Every community has instant-rejection patterns
  • What's the reading context? Commute? Deep focus? Procrastination?

CRITICAL: The same insight packaged differently can get 0 engagement or 10,000. The insight doesn't change. The cultural packaging does.

Platform Selection

Identify target platform from user input, then load ONLY that guide:

User says...PlatformLoadDo NOT Load
"WeChat", "WeChat Official Account"WeChatreferences/wechat.mdAll others
"HN", "Hacker News"Hacker Newsreferences/hackernews.mdAll others
"Reddit", "r/", "subreddit"Redditreferences/reddit.mdAll others
"Medium"Mediumreferences/medium.mdAll others
"Twitter", "X", "thread"Twitter/Xreferences/twitter.mdAll others
"Dev.to", "dev.to"Dev.toreferences/devto.mdAll others
"LinkedIn", "LI"LinkedInreferences/linkedin.mdAll others

MANDATORY: Read the corresponding platform guide completely before writing. Each guide contains the cultural context and anti-patterns specific to that platform.

Universal Anti-Patterns

These kill content on ANY platform:

  • Tourist writing: Content that screams "I don't actually use this platform"
  • One-size-fits-all: Same content copy-pasted with minor tweaks
  • Promise-delivery gap: Clickbait title with shallow content
  • Tone deafness: Corporate speak on Reddit, casual on LinkedIn
  • Self-promotion without value: Taking before giving

The Quality Bar

Expert content writers understand:

  1. First 10 seconds decide everything - Hook or die
  2. Every platform has status games - Learn what earns respect
  3. Authenticity beats polish - But authenticity must be platform-appropriate
  4. Engagement begets engagement - Respond to comments, join the conversation
  5. Timing matters - Each platform has optimal posting windows

Output

When creating platform-specific content:

  1. State the target platform
  2. Apply all cultural rules from that platform's guide
  3. Write as if you ARE a respected community member
  4. Include platform-specific formatting (TL;DR for Reddit, hooks for Twitter, etc.)

Remember: The goal isn't to "post content on Platform X." The goal is to become a valuable voice in that community.
