# LinkedIn Thought Leadership Plugin (v1.2.0)

Build LinkedIn thought leadership with algorithmic understanding, strategic consistency, and authentic engagement. January 2026 360Brew algorithm update integrated.

## Architecture

- **State file:** `~/.claude/linkedin-thought-leadership.local.md` (YAML frontmatter, auto-initialized from `config/state-file.template.md`)
- **State updater:** `hooks/scripts/state-updater.mjs` — deterministic state mutations (post tracking, streak, content history pruning). Pure functions, tested, no AI involvement
- **Clipboard helper:** `hooks/scripts/clipboard-helper.mjs` — cross-platform clipboard integration (macOS `pbcopy`, Linux `xclip`/`xsel`, WSL `clip.exe`). All content commands auto-copy to clipboard
- **iCal generator:** `hooks/scripts/ical-generator.mjs` — RFC 5545 calendar file generation for batch scheduling. Standalone CLI + importable module
- **Post queue:** `assets/drafts/queue.json` (managed by `hooks/scripts/queue-manager.mjs`)
- **Analytics CLI:** `scripts/analytics/` (TypeScript, requires `tsx` and `npm install`)
- **Analytics data:** `assets/analytics/` (gitignored)

## Hooks

9 hooks across 7 events. All Node.js (.mjs). PreToolUse/PostToolUse hooks use parameterized `content-gatekeeper.mjs` with `isLinkedInContent()` check.

| Event | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `SessionStart` | Load state, REMEMBER.md, milestone tracker |
| `PreToolUse` (Write\|Edit) | Content quality gate, voice guardian, topic rotation gate |
| `Stop` | State update, pre-publish reminders, content history |
| `UserPromptSubmit` | LinkedIn context enrichment (three-tier matching) |
| `PostToolUse` (Write) | Post-creation automation (5x5x5, posting time) |
| `PreCompact` | Preserve LinkedIn context during compaction |
| `Notification` | Posting reminders (rate-limited 30min) |

**Session markers:** `/tmp/linkedin-hooks/session-active` (Stop hook gating, 12h staleness). **Shared modules:** `linkedin-content-filter.mjs`, `queue-manager.mjs`, `personalization-score.mjs`, `state-updater.mjs`, `clipboard-helper.mjs`.

**State updates:** Post tracking, streak management, and content history are handled deterministically by `state-updater.mjs` (called from Stop hook and commands). Content history entries older than 90 days are auto-pruned at session start.

**Hook editing:** Edit `hooks/hooks.template.json` + `hooks/prompts/*.md`, then run `python3 hooks/scripts/compile-hooks.py`. Do not edit `hooks.json` directly. Prompts are loaded at runtime by gatekeeper scripts; the compile step is only needed when adding `type: prompt` hooks.

## Commands (27)

All content commands (post, quick, react, pipeline, first-post, video, multiplatform, carousel) auto-copy output to clipboard via `clipboard-helper.mjs`. Interactive steps are minimized — angle, format, and post type are inferred from context, with max 2 questions per post.

| `/linkedin` | Router — status line + command menu |

## Content Quality Rules

1. Hook: 110-140 characters (mobile cutoff)
2. Post length: 1,200-1,800 chars (standard), 150-500 chars (quick)
3. No external links in post body (40-50% reach suppression)
4. No corporate buzzwords: leverage, synergy, paradigm shift, thought leader, disruptive, value proposition, ecosystem, holistic approach
5. Topic must align with user's 5 core expertise areas (360Brew signal)
6. Topic rotation: no back-to-back same pillar, no pillar >50% in 14 days (warn-only)
7. Progressive onboarding: personalization score hidden until 3+ posts; voice guardian suppressed until 5+ voice samples
