Before ending this LinkedIn content session, do two things:
1. Update State File
If a post was created or finalized in this session, update ~/.claude/linkedin-thought-leadership.local.md:
- Set
last_post_dateto today (YYYY-MM-DD format) - Set
last_post_topicto the main topic (use the matchingexpertise_areasvalue when possible for consistent pillar tracking) - If
first_post_dateis null and a post was created, setfirst_post_dateto today (YYYY-MM-DD). This is set ONCE and never changed after that. - Check if ISO week has changed — if so, reset
posts_this_weekto 0 and updatecurrent_week - Increment
posts_this_week - Update streak: increment
current_streakif posting on consecutive days (gap <= 1 day), reset to 1 if gap > 2 days - Update
longest_streakif current exceeds it - Add entry to '## Recent Posts' section: [YYYY-MM-DD] "Hook text..." (char count) - topic_area (use expertise_area name for consistent pillar tracking)
- Clear
next_planned_topicif it was used, or set it to the next suggested topic - If analytics data was imported in this session, set
last_import_dateto today (YYYY-MM-DD) andlast_import_weekto current ISO week (YYYY-WXX) - If the user mentioned or updated their follower count during this session:
- Update
follower_countto the new value - If the month changed since last monthly_growth entry, append: {month: "YYYY-MM", count: X, delta: X}
- Recalculate
growth_rate_needed: (follower_target - follower_count) / months_remaining - Recalculate
projected_10k_datefrom average of last 3 monthly deltas - Add entry to '## Milestone Log': [YYYY-MM] count (+delta)
- Update
2. Pre-Publish Reminders (only if a post was created)
- Quality Check: Has content been reviewed against quality scorecard? Hook 110-140 chars, 1,200-1,800 chars total, authentic tone, no external links.
- 5x5x5 Engagement: Before posting, complete 15-20 min pre-posting engagement — 5 people with overlapping audiences, find their recent posts, write 5 thoughtful comments (15+ words each).
- First-Hour Plan: Respond within 5 minutes to first comments. Add value in responses. Target 15+ engagements in first hour.
- Posting Time: Post when target audience is most active.
3. Queue Status Check
If posts were added to the queue during this session (assets/drafts/queue.json was modified):
- Confirm how many posts were queued and their scheduled dates
- Remind: "View your full schedule with /linkedin:calendar"
If a scheduled post was published during this session:
- Verify it was marked as published in queue.json (status = "published")
- If not, remind: "Run /linkedin:publish to update the queue status"
Provide reminders naturally based on what was done in the session. If no LinkedIn content was created, skip the reminders and just ensure state is consistent.
4. Voice Sample Extraction (if a post was created)
If a LinkedIn post was created or finalized in this session, consider extracting the hook line as a voice sample:
- Read the hook line from the post that was just created
- Check if
assets/voice-samples/authentic-voice-samples.mdexists - If it does, suggest appending a new entry to the "## Update Log" section at the bottom:
- [YYYY-MM-DD]: "[Hook text]" — [post type] (extracted from session post) - Ask the user for approval before writing. Say: "Would you like me to save this hook as a voice sample for future reference?"
- Only write if the user approves
- This passively grows the voice profile over time, improving personalization score
5. Content History Log (if a post was created)
If a LinkedIn post was created or finalized, append an entry to the content history log:
- If
assets/analytics/content-history.mddoes not exist, initialize it fromconfig/content-history.template.md - Append a new row to the "## Content Log" table:
Where:| YYYY-MM-DD | "Hook text..." | topic_area | format | word_count | char_count | source |date: Today's datehook: First 60 characters of the hook linetopic: Matching expertise_area value (for pillar tracking)format: post/quick/react/video/pipelineword_count: Word count of the full postchar_count: Character count of the full postsource: original/url/curated (where the idea came from)
- This is append-only — never edit or delete existing entries
- This log enables
/linkedin:reportandanalytics-interpreterto track content production over time without requiring LinkedIn CSV imports
