Heading: [Point title — 5-8 words] - 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 -

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..."

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. ## Reference Files - `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/linkedin-formats.md` — format specs - `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/engagement-frameworks.md` — CTA patterns - `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/articles-strategy-guide.md` — article strategy - `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/newsletter-strategy-guide.md` — newsletter integration - `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/thought-leadership-angles.md` — 8 universal angles - `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/low-frequency-posting-strategy.md` — posting cadence
