B-S2a, the constraining-first slice of the de-niche sweep: kill the niche at
its source. B-S1 made trend-spotter pillar-driven, but the agent still READ
references/ai-content-framework.md (and so did differentiation-checker,
voice-trainer, and the content-creation skill) — an AI/Microsoft-specific file
whose very name baked in the niche. So the niche leaked back regardless of how
clean the agents were. This recasts that file domain-general and de-niches the
content-planner seasonal calendar (the other hardcoded beat: MS Build/Ignite as
THE anchors). The principle: vary concreteness, don't sterilize
(plugin-is-domain-general).
- Recast + rename references/ai-content-framework.md -> references/content-framework.md:
title "AI Content Framework" -> "Content Framework"; the 4 pillars kept as a
domain-general pattern (News/Implementation/Strategy/Tools) with examples now
spanning multiple fields instead of AI-only; AI-specific placeholders
([AI announcement], [AI system], GPT-X/Claude X) generalized to neutral
brackets; anti-patterns "AI will change everything" -> "[Field] will change
everything". The "News Monitoring / Sources by Priority" section (AI sources:
The Batch, ArXiv, r/MachineLearning, OpenAI/Anthropic blogs) — now duplicated
by the trend engine's config source-list — is thinned to point at
config/trends-sources.template.md + the data-dir override, keeping the
daily/weekly RHYTHM (general) and dropping the baked source list.
- Rename ripple, 6 referrers repointed: trend-spotter, differentiation-checker,
voice-trainer (reference lines, + dropped "AI" from descriptions), glossary
(Used-in + de-niched the "Example for AI content" pillar illustration),
linkedin-content-creation SKILL ("AI-specific angles" -> "Domain content
pillars + angles"), and test-runner §17 (NEGATIVE17 probe path + comment).
docs/hardening/log.md left intact — historical record, not a live pointer.
- content-planner.md seasonal calendar de-niched: header "Nordic/Tech Focus" ->
"rhythm, adapt to your field & region" + intro prompt; Microsoft Build,
Ignite (x2), Apple/Microsoft launches, NDC, EU AI Act, "Azure AI" example
pillar, "AI predictions", Nordic/17.mai locale anchors -> domain/region-
neutral prompts. Global anchors kept (New Year, IWD, Halloween, Black Friday,
year-end).
Deferred to after the full sweep (per STATE): extending the §17 de-niche guard
to content-planner (and content-framework) — the guard's token set + agent
scope is best designed once the sweep (B-S2b) reflects the final clean surface.
ref count unchanged (27; rename is 1->1). Gate 87/0/0 (§17 self-test green).

# LinkedIn Studio Glossary
|
||
|
||
Alphabetical glossary of specialized terminology used across the plugin. Each term includes a definition and cross-references to where it's used.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 3
|
||
|
||
### Profile/topic relevance
|
||
How well a creator's profile and expertise align with the topic they post about — a real input to LinkedIn's 2026 relevance-ranking model that gates distribution. The model checks expertise alignment across the About section, Experience, content history, network quality, and engagement patterns; content from profiles with weak topic alignment receives limited distribution. (The relevance-ranking model's production name and size are not publishable as fact — see `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`.)
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`, `skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md`, `agents/content-optimizer.md`
|
||
|
||
### 5x5x5 Pre-Posting Method
|
||
Engagement priming technique performed 15-20 minutes before posting: identify 5 people with overlapping audiences, find their recent posts (last 24h), write 5 thoughtful comments (15+ words each). Primes algorithm visibility and warms engagement signals.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md`, `agents/engagement-coach.md`, `agents/network-builder.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## A
|
||
|
||
### Algorithm Penalty
|
||
Signal triggers that correlate with lower reach: excessive hashtags, external links in the post body, off-topic posts (weak profile/topic alignment), and engagement-bait phrases. Magnitudes are directional — see `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`, `references/linkedin-formats.md`
|
||
|
||
### Angle Rotation
|
||
Systematic application of 8 universal content angles across the same topic to create distinct post variations without repeating yourself. The 8 angles: Contrarian Take, Pattern Recognition, Uncomfortable Truth, Future Implication, Personal Lesson, Reframe, Practical Breakdown, Human Story.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/content-angles.md`, `agents/content-planner.md`, `agents/trend-spotter.md`
|
||
|
||
### Authority Score
|
||
Composite metric measuring a creator's established expertise on a topic, derived from posting consistency, engagement quality, profile alignment (topic-relevance), and network validation. Higher authority unlocks broader distribution.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `commands/strategy.md` (authority building absorbed in v2.0.0), `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## C
|
||
|
||
### CEA Method (Comment Engagement Architecture)
|
||
Three-step comment quality framework: **C**ompliment (specific point appreciated) → **E**xpand (add your insight or experience) → **A**sk (question to continue dialogue). Minimum 15 words for algorithmic value.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/engagement-coach.md`, `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`
|
||
|
||
### Commodity Content
|
||
Generic, non-differentiated posts that repeat common advice without original perspective. Detected by the differentiation-checker agent using a 10-item red flag checklist; 3+ flags = commodity. Should be blocked or reworked before publishing.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/differentiation-checker.md`
|
||
|
||
### Content DNA
|
||
Your unique combination of perspective, experience, voice, and topical focus that distinguishes your content from others in the same space. Built through consistent posting on core topics over 90+ days. Synthesized by analytics-interpreter (report mode) as a personal formula.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/voice-trainer.md`, `agents/differentiation-checker.md`, `agents/analytics-interpreter.md`
|
||
|
||
### Content Lifecycle
|
||
Seven-stage journey of repurposed content: Original Creation → First Repurposing → Angle Rotation → Format Variation → Series Expansion → Evergreen Circulation → Archive Review. Managed by the content-repurposer agent.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/content-repurposer.md`
|
||
|
||
### Content Mix (70/20/10)
|
||
Optimal content type distribution: 70% Educational (teach, frameworks, how-to), 20% Inspirational (stories, lessons, failures), 10% Entertaining (hot takes, humor, observations). Enforced by content-planner agent.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md`, `agents/content-planner.md`, `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`
|
||
|
||
### Content Pillars
|
||
3-5 core expertise areas that define your LinkedIn focus. Used for topic consistency validation, gap analysis in content planning, and topic-relevance alignment checks. Example pillar set: News, Implementation, Strategy, Tools.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/content-planner.md`, `references/content-framework.md`, `skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md`
|
||
|
||
### CTA (Call-to-Action)
|
||
Specific, genuine engagement prompt at the end of a post. Must feel natural and offer optionality ("Which strategy has worked for your team?" > "What do you think?"). Creates invitation for the engagement that drives distribution.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/engagement-frameworks.md`, `skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md`, `agents/content-optimizer.md`
|
||

|
||
|
||
## D
|
||
|
||
### Dwell Time
|
||
Duration a user spends viewing content with ≥50% visible on screen. Posts with 30+ seconds dwell time signal quality to the algorithm (+25% boost). Save behavior strongly correlates with high dwell time.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`, `references/linkedin-formats.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## E
|
||
|
||
### Engagement Bait
|
||
Prohibited engagement tactics ("Comment YES if...", "Tag someone who...", "Type 1 for...") that correlate with lower reach — actively detected and suppressed (directional; no primary source for a discrete figure).
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`
|
||
|
||
### Engagement Pod
|
||
Coordinated group of accounts that artificially boost each other's posts. Actively detected by LinkedIn; risks shadow-ban and engagement penalty. Warned against in multiple plugin references.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`, `commands/outreach.md` (collab absorbed in v2.0.0), `agents/network-builder.md`
|
||
|
||
### Engagement Quality Hierarchy
|
||
The defensible **ordering** of engagement signals — **saves > shares > quality comments (15+ words) > reactions/likes** — not a fixed coefficient table (LinkedIn publishes no such weights). Directional single-vendor estimates: a save ≈ 5x a like (≈ 2x a comment); a quality comment ≈ 2x a like. Trust the order, test the number — these are not hard multipliers to optimize against.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`, `references/engagement-frameworks.md`
|
||
|
||
### Engagement Velocity
|
||
Speed of engagement accumulation in the first hour after posting. 15+ engagements in the first hour unlocks Stage 3 distribution. Monitored at 5/15/30/60/90-minute intervals.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`, `${LINKEDIN_STUDIO_DATA:-$HOME/.claude/linkedin-studio}/audience-insights/engagement-patterns.md`
|
||
|
||
### Evergreen Content
|
||
Posts maintaining relevance and engagement potential beyond the initial publication window. Identified through scoring (topical relevance, performance, refresh potential). Suitable for repurposing over 12+ months.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/content-repurposer.md`, `references/articles-strategy-guide.md`
|
||
|
||
### Expertise Verification System
|
||
LinkedIn's mechanism for validating creator authority: professional history, posting consistency on specific topics, relevant engagement, domain vocabulary usage, and performance track record. Feeds into topic-relevance.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## F
|
||
|
||
### First-Hour Engagement
|
||
Critical window — the first 15–30 minutes decide ~70% of a post's total reach (golden window 60–90 min). Requires: 5x5x5 pre-posting engagement, immediate response to first comments (within 5 minutes), and continued engagement through 90 minutes.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md`, `references/linkedin-formats.md`, `agents/engagement-coach.md`
|
||
|
||
### Four-Stage Distribution Model
|
||
Sequential post distribution: Stage 1 (0-30s: Quality classifier + profile/topic-relevance validation) → Stage 2 (0-90min: Test to a small slice of connections) → Stage 3 (1-24h: Extended if velocity good) → Stage 4 (24-72h+: Evergreen circulation).
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## G
|
||
|
||
### Golden Hour
|
||
The critical 60-90 minute window post-publication where LinkedIn tests content with a small connection sample. Strong performance (1,000+ impressions) unlocks broader distribution; weak performance (<500) limits reach.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## H
|
||
|
||
### Hook
|
||
Opening 110-140 characters of a post that must work standalone on mobile (before "see more" cutoff) and create a curiosity gap. 10 high-performing types: Surprising Stat, Bold Statement, Provocative Question, Contrarian, Personal Confession, Pattern Observation, Time Frame Urgency, Lesson Learned, Scenario, Direct Address.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/engagement-frameworks.md`, `skills/linkedin-studio/SKILL.md`, `agents/content-optimizer.md`
|
||
|
||
### Hook Psychology
|
||
Neuroscience-backed engagement: Pattern interrupts trigger prediction error → dopamine release → information gap demanding cognitive closure. Pattern interrupts are markedly more common in viral posts (multiplier unverified). Optimal first line: ~49 characters.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/engagement-frameworks.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## I
|
||
|
||
### Interest Graph
|
||
LinkedIn's feature (2025-2026) measuring user interest in specific topics independent of their connection network. Platform increased outside-network content distribution by 40% when grounded in professional knowledge.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## L
|
||
|
||
### Link Penalty
|
||
External links in the post body correlate with lower reach (correlational, ~38% in 2026; LinkedIn denies an intentional penalty — see `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`). Lead with standalone value; a first comment is a hedge, not a fix, and native document format is the durable answer.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`, `references/first-comment-strategy.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## N
|
||
|
||
### Network Tiers
|
||
Three-level connection classification: **Tier 1** (Inner Circle, 5-10 people, daily engagement), **Tier 2** (Active Network, 2-3x weekly engagement), **Tier 3** (Extended Network, monthly engagement). Used for strategic resource allocation.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/network-builder.md`, `commands/outreach.md` (collab absorbed in v2.0.0)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## O
|
||
|
||
### Originality Score
|
||
0-100 metric across 5 dimensions: perspective uniqueness, experience authenticity, angle freshness, data/evidence originality, voice distinctiveness. Score 51+ = passable, 66+ = differentiated, 81+ = exceptional. Gate threshold: 51/100 minimum.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/differentiation-checker.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## P
|
||
|
||
### Pattern Interrupt
|
||
Unexpected statement or data point that breaks normal thought patterns and captures attention. Markedly more common in viral posts (multiplier unverified). Examples: contrarian claims, surprising statistics, provocative questions.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/engagement-frameworks.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## R
|
||
|
||
### Repurposing Priority Score
|
||
0-100 metric evaluating content readiness for format conversion: Performance (40pts), Quality (30pts), Format Fit (30pts). Used to prioritize which content gets repurposed first.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/content-repurposer.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## S
|
||
|
||
### Save Signal
|
||
Highest-value engagement signal — top of the engagement order. A save ≈ 5x a like (≈ 2x a comment) in single-vendor data — directional, not a fixed weight. Saves indicate content worth returning to; posts with saves raise follow probability (saves are a follow-graph signal; figure unverified). Only a small fraction of posts reach save-worthy status.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`, `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`
|
||
|
||
### Shadow Ban
|
||
Penalty state where posts reach only immediate connections without algorithmic amplification. Triggered by engagement pods, artificial boosting, or consistent guideline violations. Not officially announced by the platform.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## T
|
||
|
||
### Authority Value Test
|
||
Three-question quality gate before publishing: (1) Does this help someone make a better decision? (2) Does this change how someone thinks? (3) Would I find this valuable if someone else wrote it? Must pass all three.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/content-angles.md`, `agents/differentiation-checker.md`, `agents/trend-spotter.md`
|
||
|
||
### Topical Consistency
|
||
Posting about consistent topics within demonstrated expertise areas. The algorithm learns your domain expertise over 30+ days. Consistency is a ranking input; gaps correlate with lower reach on return (directional; no primary source for a discrete figure).
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `references/linkedin-growth-playbook-2025-2026.md`, `references/algorithm-signals-reference.md`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## V
|
||
|
||
### Voice Drift
|
||
Deviation from established personal voice profile. Measured across 6 dimensions: sentence structure, word choice, hooks, storytelling, tone, formatting. Thresholds: 70%+ = AUTHENTIC, 40-69% = CAUTION, <40% = ALERT/REWRITE.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/voice-trainer.md`
|
||
|
||
### Voice Profile
|
||
Quantified signature of a creator's unique writing style across sentence structure, vocabulary, hook preferences, storytelling approach, tone, and formatting. Updated quarterly. Identity-level traits (avoided words, tone, humor) are protected from automatic modification.
|
||
|
||
**Used in:** `agents/voice-trainer.md`, `${LINKEDIN_STUDIO_DATA:-$HOME/.claude/linkedin-studio}/voice-samples/authentic-voice-samples.md`
