${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/engagement-frameworks.md          → CTA and engagement patterns
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/articles-strategy-guide.md        → article writing strategy
${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/newsletter-strategy-guide.md      → newsletter integration

~/.claude/linkedin-thought-leadership.local.md                     → user state + performance data
```

## Step 1: Source Content Analysis

Before converting, deeply analyze the source content:

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
SOURCE CONTENT ANALYSIS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Content type:         [text post / carousel / video / article / newsletter]
Word count:           [count]
Core message:         [1 sentence summary]
Key points:           [3-5 bullet points]

  Engagement rate:    [%]
  Comments:           [count]
  Saves/shares:       [count]
  Profile visits:     [count]

Repurposing potential:
  Expandable points:  [which points have depth to explore]
  Visual potential:   [could this be visual/slide-based?]
  Story potential:    [is there a narrative arc?]
  Series potential:   [could this spawn multiple posts?]
  Evergreen score:    [/10 — see scoring below]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

## Step 2: Repurposing Priority Matrix

When the user asks "what should I repurpose?", score existing content:

### Repurposing Priority Score (/100)

```
Performance (40 points):
  Top 10% engagement rate:     +20
  Top 25% engagement rate:     +10
  Above-average impressions:   +10
  High save/share ratio:       +10
  Generated DMs/leads:         +10

Content Quality (30 points):
  Contains framework/process:  +10
  Has 3+ expandable points:    +10
  Unique insight or data:      +10
  Personal story element:      +5
  Actionable takeaways:        +5

Repurposing Fit (30 points):
  Never repurposed before:     +15
  Multiple format potential:   +10
  Seasonal relevance now:      +5
  Aligns with current goals:   +5
  60+ days since original:     +5

TOTAL: /100
  80+: Immediate repurpose candidate
  60-79: Strong candidate
  40-59: Worth considering
  <40: Low priority
```

Present the top 5 candidates sorted by score.

## Step 4: Detailed Conversion Guides

### 4A: Text Post → Carousel

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CAROUSEL CONVERSION BLUEPRINT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Target: 5-8 slides (7 optimal for engagement)
Design: Large text, mobile-readable (16px+ equivalent)

SLIDE 1: HOOK
  Purpose: Stop the scroll, promise value
  Layout: Bold statement or question
  Text: [Adapt from post hook — make it visual]
  Design: Brand colors, large font, minimal text
  Max words: 15

SLIDE 2: CONTEXT / PROBLEM
  Purpose: Frame why this matters
  Layout: Problem statement with icon/visual
  Text: [Expand from post's opening context]
  Max words: 30

SLIDES 3-8: ONE POINT PER SLIDE
  Purpose: Deliver the core content
  Layout: Number/icon + heading + 1-2 lines explanation
  Structure per slide:

    - Body: [1-2 sentences expanding the point]
    - Visual: [Icon, diagram, or example]
  Max words per slide: 40

  Point extraction rules:
  - Each key point from the post = 1 slide

  - Add examples not in original post for depth
  - Use numbers, percentages, or data when available

SLIDE 9: SUMMARY
  Purpose: Reinforce key takeaway
  Layout: Recap list or key insight highlighted
  Text: "Key takeaways:" + 3-4 bullet points
  Max words: 40

SLIDE 10: CTA
  Purpose: Drive engagement and follows
  Layout: Profile photo + clear action
  Text options:
    - "Follow [name] for more [topic] insights"
    - "Save this for later. Share with someone who needs it."
    - "Which tip will you try first? Comment below."
  Max words: 25

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

### 4B: Text Post → Video Script

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
VIDEO SCRIPT CONVERSION BLUEPRINT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Target length: 30-60 seconds (2026 optimal — 30% completion rate minimum)
Style: Talking head with text overlays

[0:00-0:03] HOOK — 3 seconds
  Camera: Direct eye contact, slight lean in
  Energy: High — this is the scroll-stopper
  Script: "[Adapt post hook to spoken format]"
  Text overlay: Key phrase from hook

  Hook adaptations:
  - Written "Did you know...?" → Spoken "Here's something most people miss..."
  - Written list → Spoken "I tested [N] approaches. Only one worked."
  - Written story → Spoken "Last week, something happened that changed how I think about..."

[0:03-0:10] CONTEXT — 7 seconds
  Camera: Natural, conversational
  Script: "[Why this matters — 2-3 sentences max]"
  Text overlay: Problem statement or statistic

  Transition phrase: "And here's the thing..." / "So I want to share..." / "Let me explain..."

[0:10-0:50] MAIN CONTENT — 40 seconds
  Structure: 2-3 key points (not all from the post — pick the strongest)

  Per point (12-15 seconds each):
    Script: "[Heading] — [Explanation] — [Quick example]"
    Camera: Hand gestures for emphasis
    Text overlay: Point number + keyword
    Transition: "Next..." / "But here's where it gets interesting..." / "Number two..."

  Adaptation rules:
  - Written bullet points → Spoken with transitions between
  - Written data → Round numbers for speech ("about 70%" not "68.3%")
  - Written frameworks → Pick 2-3 steps, not all of them
  - Written examples → Tell as mini-story, not description

[0:50-1:10] TAKEAWAY — 20 seconds
  Camera: Slower pace, more deliberate
  Script: "So here's what I want you to remember: [key insight]"
  Text overlay: Key takeaway in bold text

  Include personal reflection not in original post:
  "The reason I care about this is..." / "This changed my approach because..."

[1:10-1:20] CTA — 10 seconds
  Camera: Direct, friendly
  Script options:
    - "If this was useful, follow for more [topic] content"
    - "Drop a comment with your experience — I'd love to hear it"
    - "Share this with someone who needs to hear it"
  Text overlay: CTA instruction + your handle

Production notes:
  - Film in natural light (face the window)
  - Quiet background, no music during speech
  - Vertical format: 9:16 (1080×1920px)
  - Subtitles: Always add (85%+ watch without sound)
  - Thumbnail: Frame from hook moment with text overlay
  - Upload as native video, not external link
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

### 4C: Text Post → Article

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ARTICLE EXPANSION BLUEPRINT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Target: 1,500-2,500 words (8-12 minute read)
Format: LinkedIn Article (native SEO benefits)

TITLE
  Rule: More specific than the post hook
  Format: "[Number] [Specific thing] — [Promise]"
  SEO: Include primary keyword naturally
  Character limit: 100 characters

  Post hook → Article title adaptation:
  - "I changed my approach to X" → "How I Changed My Approach to X (And the Results After 6 Months)"
  - "5 things about Y" → "5 Things Every [Audience] Should Know About Y in 2026"

SUBTITLE
  1 sentence that hooks the reader
  Not a repeat of the title — adds a new angle

INTRODUCTION (200-300 words)
  Paragraph 1: Expanded version of post hook + context
  Paragraph 2: Why this topic matters now (add timeliness)
  Paragraph 3: What the reader will learn (promise)

  Research additions:
  - Find 1-2 statistics that support the post's premise
  - Reference an industry report or expert quote
  - Add a personal anecdote not in the original post

MAIN BODY (800-1,500 words)
  For each key point from the post, create a section:

  Section structure (200-400 words each):
    H2: [Point as section heading]
    Context: Why this point matters specifically
    Explanation: Deep-dive with examples
    Evidence: Data, case study, or expert backing
    Application: How the reader can apply this

  Expansion techniques:
  - Add a case study or example per point
  - Include "common mistake" callouts
  - Add "pro tip" sidebars
  - Reference complementary frameworks
  - Link to related posts or articles

CONCLUSION (200-300 words)
  Paragraph 1: Synthesize the key insight
  Paragraph 2: What to do next (action items)
  Paragraph 3: CTA (newsletter, comment, follow)

ARTICLE FOOTER
  - "Originally shared as a LinkedIn post [link]"
  - "Follow me for more [topic] insights"
  - "Subscribe to my newsletter for weekly [topic] deep-dives"

Research checklist before publishing:
  [ ] At least 2 external data points added
  [ ] At least 1 case study or real example
  [ ] Internal links to 1-2 previous posts
  [ ] SEO-friendly headings with keywords
  [ ] Featured image that works as thumbnail
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

### 4D: Article → Post Series

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
ARTICLE-TO-SERIES SPLITTING BLUEPRINT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Target: 3-5 standalone posts from 1 article
Schedule: Space posts 2-3 days apart

EXTRACTION PROCESS:

1. Identify standalone insights (each must work without context):
   - Read article section by section
   - Mark each section that could be a post
   - Ensure each has its own hook + value + CTA
   - Discard sections that only make sense in article context

2. Assign angles per post (never repeat the same angle):
   - Post 1: Surprising Stat angle → Most unexpected finding
   - Post 2: Framework angle → Core methodology from article
   - Post 3: Bold Claim angle → Contrarian element
   - Post 4: Personal Story angle → Behind-the-scenes of the research
   - Post 5: Expert Tip angle → Most actionable takeaway

3. Write standalone hooks for each post:
   Each post MUST hook independently — not "In my recent article..."

   ❌ Bad: "I wrote about AI in my latest article. Here's a key takeaway."
   ✓ Good: "I analyzed 50 AI implementations. Only 12 succeeded. Here's why."

4. Add series threading (subtle, not forced):
   - Post 1: No reference to series
   - Post 2: "This connects to something I shared earlier this week..."
   - Post 3: "Following up on the conversation this week..."
   - Post 4-5: "This is the final piece of a puzzle I've been sharing..."

5. Cross-promote the article:
   - First comment on post 1: "I wrote the full deep-dive as an article → [link]"
   - Don't link in main post body (kills reach)

POST SERIES TEMPLATE:

Series Title: "[Theme] — [N]-Part Series"
Total posts: [3-5]
Publishing schedule: [dates]

Post [N]/[total]:
  Hook: [Standalone scroll-stopper]
  Angle: [From 8 angles]
  Core insight: [1-sentence from article section]
  Key points: [2-3 bullet points]
  CTA: [Engagement-focused]
  Thread: [How this connects to other posts, if not first]
  Article reference: [Which article section this came from]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

### 4E: Post → Poll Conversion

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
POLL CONVERSION BLUEPRINT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Best for: Opinion posts, debate topics, "which approach" posts

Question: [Derived from post's core tension or question]
  - Keep under 140 characters
  - Frame as genuine question (not leading)
  - Avoid yes/no — use specific options

Options (max 4):
  1. [Specific answer A]
  2. [Specific answer B]
  3. [Specific answer C]
  4. [It depends / Other] (drives comments)

Context text (appears above poll):
  "[2-3 sentences setting up the question. Reference your original insight.]"

Follow-up plan:
  - During poll (3 days): Engage with every commenter
  - After poll closes: Post results analysis
  - "X% of you said [option]. Here's what I think..."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

## Step 5: Evergreen Content System

### Evergreen Identification Score (/10)

```
Criteria:
  Topic relevance (not time-bound):              /3
    3 = Fundamental principle (always relevant)
    2 = Trend-adjacent (relevant 1-2 years)
    1 = Time-specific (relevant <6 months)
    0 = News/event (expired)

  Original performance:                           /3
    3 = Top 10% of all posts
    2 = Top 25%
    1 = Above average
    0 = Below average

  Refresh potential:                              /2
    2 = Can add new data, examples, or angle
    1 = Minor updates possible
    0 = Would be essentially the same post

  Audience growth since original:                 /2
    2 = 50%+ new followers since original
    1 = 20-50% new followers
    0 = <20% new followers

TOTAL: /10
  8-10: Repurpose immediately
  5-7: Good candidate — schedule
  3-4: Consider but not priority
  0-2: Skip
```

### Evergreen Refresh Strategy

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EVERGREEN REFRESH PLAYBOOK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Minimum wait time: 60 days since original

Refresh approach (choose one):

A. NEW HOOK, SAME CONTENT
   Keep the core insight, write a completely new opening
   Best for: Posts where the insight is timeless
   Signal: "I've been thinking about this differently lately..."

B. UPDATED DATA
   Same structure, refreshed statistics and examples
   Best for: Data-driven posts
   Signal: "6 months ago I shared [X]. Here's the 2026 update..."

C. NEW ANGLE
   Same topic, different perspective from 8 angles
   Best for: Framework/process posts
   Signal: Approach from personal story instead of framework

D. EXPANDED VERSION
   Turn into carousel or article (cross-format repurpose)
   Best for: High-performing text posts
   Signal: "I got so many questions about [topic], I made a deep-dive..."

E. REMIX
   Combine 2-3 old posts into one new synthesis
   Best for: Posts in the same pillar
   Signal: "After writing about [X, Y, and Z], here's what connects them..."

NEVER DO:
  ❌ Copy-paste the exact same post
  ❌ Post within 60 days of original
  ❌ Use the same hook verbatim
  ❌ Say "in case you missed it" (feels lazy)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

## Step 6: Content Lifecycle Management

### The Content Lifecycle

Every piece of content can go through this lifecycle:

```
STAGE 1: Original post (Day 0)
  ↓
STAGE 2: First comment engagement (Day 0-3)
  - Add extra insight in first comment
  - Engage with every commenter
  ↓
STAGE 3: Cross-format repurpose (Day 7-14)
  - Top performer? → Convert to carousel or video
  - Framework post? → Create detailed article
  ↓
STAGE 4: Series expansion (Day 14-30)
  - If topic resonated → Create 2-3 follow-up posts
  - Different angles on same topic
  ↓
STAGE 5: Article/newsletter deep-dive (Day 30-60)
  - Combine post + comments insights into long-form
  - Add research and examples
  ↓
STAGE 6: Evergreen refresh (Day 60-120)
  - Score for evergreen potential
  - Apply refresh strategy
  ↓
STAGE 7: Remix/synthesis (Day 120+)
  - Combine with other posts into new content
  - Create "best of" compilations
```

### Lifecycle Tracker

Track each piece of content through its lifecycle:

```
CONTENT LIFECYCLE TRACKER

| Original Post | Date | Stage | Next Action | Due |
|---------------|------|-------|-------------|-----|
| "[Hook]" | [date] | [1-7] | [specific action] | [date] |
```

Save tracker to `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/assets/repurposing-tracker.md`

## Step 7: Batch Repurposing

When the user wants to repurpose multiple pieces at once:

1. Score all recent posts (last 90 days) using the Priority Score
2. Present top 5 candidates
3. For each selected, recommend the best conversion format
4. Generate all conversions
5. Create a publishing schedule for repurposed content

```
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
BATCH REPURPOSING PLAN
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Source posts selected: [count]

Repurposed content to create:
  Carousels:     [count]
  Video scripts: [count]
  Articles:      [count]
  Post series:   [count]
  Polls:         [count]
  Refreshes:     [count]

Publishing schedule:
  Week 1: [item 1], [item 2]
  Week 2: [item 3], [item 4]
  Week 3: [item 5], [item 6]

Expected reach multiplier: [2-5x original]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
```

## Output & Storage

Save repurposed content to `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/assets/drafts/repurposed/`:

```
Naming convention:
  [original-slug]-carousel.md
  [original-slug]-video-script.md
  [original-slug]-article-outline.md
  [original-slug]-series-[N].md
  [original-slug]-poll.md
  [original-slug]-refresh.md
```

Create the `drafts/repurposed/` directory if it doesn't exist.
