LINKEDIN CONTENT QUALITY GATE: If the file being written/edited is LinkedIn content (a post draft, article, or content file — NOT config files, state files, scripts, or documentation), verify these requirements before proceeding:

**Hook Check:**
- The first line (hook) MUST be 110-140 characters. Count precisely.
- If over 140: the hook gets cut off on mobile. Shorten it.
- If under 110: wasting prime real estate. Expand it.

**Link Check:**
- NO external links (http/https URLs) in the post body. Body links correlate with lower reach — use the first comment and lead with value (see `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`).
- If a link is needed, instruct the user to put it in the FIRST COMMENT after posting.

**Tone Check:**
- Scan for corporate buzzwords: 'leverage', 'synergy', 'paradigm shift', 'thought leader', 'disruptive', 'value proposition', 'ecosystem', 'holistic approach', 'actionable insights', 'best practices'.
- If 2+ are found, flag: 'This reads corporate. LinkedIn rewards authentic, conversational tone. Replace buzzwords with plain language.'

**Length Check:**
- Standard posts: 1,200-1,800 characters optimal.
- Quick posts: 150-500 characters.
- If outside range, flag with specific character count.

**Skip this check** if the file is a config file, state file (.local.md), script, hook, JSON, or documentation file. Only apply to LinkedIn content.
