Add LinkedIn Post Formatter skill and LinkedIn Post Writer agent 🤖🤖🤖

[sendtoshailesh]

Summary

This addresses the problem that Linkedin posts are text based and it adds a LinkedIn Post Formatter skill and a LinkedIn Post Writer agent for crafting engagement-optimized LinkedIn posts with Unicode bold/italic styling — directly from GitHub Copilot.

What's included

Skill: linkedin-post-formatter

• Location: skills/linkedin-post-formatter/
• Unicode bold (𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱), italic (𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤), and bold-italic (𝙗𝙤𝙡𝙙-𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙘) formatting reference
• 4 proven post structure patterns (Hook→Content→CTA, Listicle, Story→Lesson, Resource Share)
• Engagement optimization rules (hook above the fold, whitespace, CTAs, hashtags)
• Visual separator and bullet point conventions
• Bundled asset: references/unicode-charmap.md with complete A-Z, a-z, 0-9 character mapping

Agent: linkedin-post-writer

• Location: agents/linkedin-post-writer.agent.md
• 3-phase workflow: Analyze Input → Draft Post → Polish
• Auto-selects the best post pattern based on content type
• Transforms raw text, technical content, HTML files, or ideas into copy-paste-ready LinkedIn posts

Why this fills a gap

The existing Reepl LinkedIn agent requires a paid Reepl MCP server subscription for scheduling/analytics. This contribution is fully self-contained with zero external dependencies — focused purely on content formatting and drafting using Unicode typography that renders natively in LinkedIn's editor.

Testing

• Tested with GitHub Copilot CLI and VS Code Chat
• Validated formatting renders correctly when pasted directly into LinkedIn
• Skill passes npm run skill:validate
• README tables updated via npm start

• This CTA example includes an emoji (👇), but the formatting rules above say “No emojis in body unless the user explicitly requests them.” Please either remove the emoji from the example CTA, or clarify that this is an opt-in example only when emojis are requested.

- **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 header range for “Sans-Serif Bold (U+1D5D4 – U+1D607)” only covers the bold sans-serif letters A–Z and a–z; this section also includes bold digits (𝟬–𝟵) which live in a different Unicode block. Please correct the documented code point ranges (e.g., call out a separate digit range) so the reference is accurate for anyone implementing character conversion.

Suggested change

	## Sans-Serif Bold (U+1D5D4 – U+1D607)
	## Sans-Serif Bold (Letters: U+1D5D4 – U+1D607; Digits: U+1D7EC – U+1D7F5)

[Copilot]

This skill ships a bundled reference file (references/unicode-charmap.md) but SKILL.md never points the agent to it. Consider adding an explicit instruction in the Unicode Typography section to load references/unicode-charmap.md when converting text so the bundled asset is discoverable and actually used.

This issue also appears on line 156 of the same file.

Suggested change

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

[Copilot]

The agent name text here uses “Linkedin”, but the same row’s description (and common branding elsewhere in the repo) uses “LinkedIn”. Please standardize this entry to “LinkedIn Post Writer” for consistency.
