Post Creation Workflow

1. Clarify → 2. Hook → 3. Body → 4. CTA → 5. Format → 6. Optimize

Step 1: Clarify Requirements

Ask user (if not clear):

• What's the main message/insight?
• Who's the target audience?
• Any specific goal? (engagement, leads, awareness)

Step 2: Write the Hook (CRITICAL)

First 2 lines decide if people click "see more". See references/hooks-library.md.

Hook Formulas:

Type	Formula	Example
Contrarian	"Unpopular opinion: [statement]"	"Unpopular opinion: Your resume doesn't matter."
Story	"[Failure/Success] + Number"	"I failed 47 interviews before landing Google."
Question	"Why do [audience] struggle with [problem]?"	"Why do developers mass fail system design?"
List	"[Number] things [outcome]"	"5 habits that 10x'd my productivity"
Bold claim	"[Surprising statement]"	"Your LinkedIn profile is losing you jobs."

Step 3: Write Body

Structure (choose based on content):

Story Format:

[Hook]

[Setup - 2 lines]

[Conflict/Challenge - 2-3 lines]

[Resolution - 2 lines]

[Lesson - 1-2 lines]

[CTA]

List Format:
