Consulting LinkedIn Publisher

Required public-content gate

Read references/public-content-quality.md before drafting, reviewing, illustrating or publishing. It governs competitor/source restrictions, plain-language explanations, cover comprehension and revision evidence. Apply it to every public format; older style examples do not override this gate.

Visual handoff

When this workflow creates or requests a rendered artifact, use recoup-internal-consulting-tasteful-design and the selected workspace DESIGN.md. House identity is Recoup Sky; explicit client/artist branding wins. Pass brand/version, expression, format, reference IDs and output folder to the media skill. Its bundled package supplies exact fonts/logos. Keep new derivatives in the current identity while preserving historical evidence. Save editable source and brand.lock.json with the deliverable. Ordinary text outputs stay text; a script is not a rendered video. Existing data dashboards retain their canonical Recoup CSS during data updates. Do not publish private client work to the public Brand Studio.

Workspace: use the selected project and its AGENTS.md; keep existing entity folders and Reality headings. Business paths below are relative to that project. Bundled resources are relative to this installed skill; sibling capabilities resolve by their installed names. Never search another private checkout for missing inputs. Use workspace identity, audience, pricing, and DESIGN.md fonts. Local _work adapters and evals are optional workspace tools, not bundled dependencies. Check presence and current help first; otherwise use an available connector for the same scoped operation. If neither exists, report that step incomplete. For missing scorers, perform the stated checks and label the result manual/unscored; never invent a numeric score or successful provider action.

Publish or schedule authorized content using the selected workspace's publishing account.

1. Read the source draft or signal and the workspace's voice/positioning rules. Shape the caption for LinkedIn; preserve the author's meaning and verify claims. Apply the readable-format gate below.
2. Discover the connected accounts through the available publishing connector or the workspace's reviewed provider configuration. Match the requested personal or company profile by its displayed identity and provider ID. Never use a plugin-embedded account ID or default to its author's account. If the intended profile remains ambiguous, resolve it before creating an external post.
3. Default to a local draft. If a publishing connector is available, use its supported draft, schedule, or publish action within the user's authorization. An authorized publish request does not need a second approval invented by this skill.
4. A workspace may supply integrations/linkedin/_work/publish.py. It is an optional local adapter, not part of this plugin. Inspect its current help and account mapping before use; do not assume arbitrary account IDs are accepted by its --account option. If no connector or compatible adapter exists, leave the caption/media ready and identify the missing publishing connection.
5. Attach media in a format the selected provider supports. Convert animation to MP4 when necessary; use an available media tool or the workspace's reviewed loop helper. Check document/carousel support against the provider's current capabilities. Keep original source assets.
6. Open the published permalink, refresh it, and visually verify the readable-format gate below. A success receipt alone does not prove readable formatting. Record the provider receipt, account, timestamp, URL, actual state, and visual-check result. Scheduled is not published; draft is not scheduled. Move a source to content/04-published/ only after publication is verified.
7. Save the verified post URL for recoup-internal-consulting-linkedin-audience to inspect engagement later.

Credentials belong in the user's connector or selected workspace environment, never in this skill or a chat message. Do not publish, send, or schedule without authorization for that action.

Readable-format gate

Apply this to new posts and edits, regardless of publishing tool.

• Keep one clear theme. Use short paragraphs, usually one or two sentences, with a visible blank line between them. Split dense multi-sentence blocks at a natural thought boundary. Keep the hook and final question or CTA distinct. Use simple bullets only for genuinely parallel items; do not add decorative headings, excessive emoji, or Unicode imitation bold to create structure.
• Keep plain-text source paragraphs separated by two newline characters. For API/connector publishing, pass real newlines, not literal backslash-n text. Inspect the provider preview when available.
• In LinkedIn's native editor, adjacent paragraph elements can publish with no visible gap even when the editor's text extraction reports blank lines. Preserve an actual empty paragraph between text paragraphs. One verified rich-text paste shape is <p>First paragraph.</p><p><br></p><p>Next paragraph.</p>. Use the supported paste or keyboard controls; do not inject DOM mutations. Confirm the blank line visually in the editor before saving. If the paste collapses spacing, insert empty paragraphs with the editor's normal controls and check again.
• After publishing or saving an edit, open the actual post URL and refresh. Inspect the expanded post visually at a normal reading width. Check paragraph gaps, readable block lengths, the hook, CTA, and any link preview or image. Accessibility text or a successful save alone is insufficient: both can look correct while the live post remains a wall of text.
• Fix formatting in the existing authorized post and repeat the live visual check. Do not create a duplicate post as a formatting workaround. Preserve approved meaning and links. Record the check in the workspace publication receipt; if the live view is unavailable, report formatting as unverified.
• For scheduled posts, verify the available preview and record live formatting as pending until the post is published and inspected. Do not claim a live visual check for a scheduled item.

Mechanical public-copy preflight

The checker ships alongside this skill. Run python3 scripts/check_public_copy.py <public-file> ... on each public format and cover source, using actual workspace paths. Optionally pass --policy <workspace-policy.json> with an excluded_public_names list. Fix blocking references and private source paths before delivery. Missing input files fail the run. This checker cannot verify factual accuracy, attribution, reader comprehension or raster text; perform the manual gate and inspect exported images separately. Do not pass internal briefs or manifests as public copy.
