How to ask with this skill installed
Installing the skill gives your AI a method. Your request still has to provide the case-specific facts, constraints and expected output.
Describe the decision or deliverable, not just the topic.
Add source material, audience, limits and known facts.
Set format, quality criteria and checks.
Mistakes to avoid
Error 1: Repurposing = copy-paste The biggest mistake is taking a LinkedIn post and pasting it into an email without adjusting tone, length, or format. LinkedIn rewards first-person storytelling. Email rewards what-it-means-for-the-reader language. A direct copy feels lazy and underperforms.
Error 2: No hook strategy Starting repurposing without identifying the core insight first means your formats are incoherent. Each piece should feel connected to the same central idea — if they don't, audiences won't build a consistent picture of your expertise.
Error 3: Trying to produce all 10 formats every time Not every source content needs all 10 formats. A workshop transcript deserves everything. A short LinkedIn post might only warrant a tweet thread, one email, and a blog rewrite. Quality beats quantity.
Error 4: Ignoring platform-specific sizing Instagram carousel captions can be 2,200 characters but perform best under 150. LinkedIn posts thrive at 150-300 words. Twitter threads should have standalone tweets. Getting format sizing wrong kills engagement even when the content is good.
Error 5: No CTA strategy Producing all the content but leaving out where the reader should go next wastes the opportunity. Every format needs a destination: a link, a follow button, a next-step resource. The CTA should match the format — subtle on LinkedIn, direct in email.
Error 6: Not tracking what formats work If you don't track which formats generate leads, DMs, or email subscribers, you can't optimize. At minimum, track: which formats drive clicks to your offer, which generate new email subscribers, and which get the most saves/shares.
