Facebook Post

Intent

Write Facebook posts in Mick's voice with clear audience control, photo awareness, optional X repurpose output, and cross-platform Facebook, X, and LinkedIn bundles.

Do Not Use When

• Do not use for replies, blog posts, or content that needs facts not provided or verified.
• Required context is missing and cannot be reasonably inferred.
• A more specific skill in this repo is a better match.

Write and polish Facebook posts for Mick in a direct, casual, first-person voice.

Trigger When

• The user starts with fbp
• The user asks to write, draft, create, rewrite, or polish a Facebook post
• The user wants social copy that is clearly intended for Facebook
• The user wants an existing Facebook post turned into a matching X post
• The user wants one source draft turned into Facebook, X, and LinkedIn versions
• The user wants a new post based on what previously performed best

Treat fbp as an immediate trigger. Do not ask clarifying questions first unless the draft is missing a critical fact that would change the post.

Workflow

1. Treat everything after fbp as the draft.
2. Extract the specific facts, numbers, and claims from the draft.
3. Infer the best post mode and length preset from the draft unless the user already specified them.
4. Generate 2 to 3 possible hook approaches internally, then choose the strongest one that sounds natural.
5. Infer the right audience mode and media context from the draft unless the user specifies them.
6. Preserve the original details while rewriting into cleaner post language.
7. If the post includes a question or engagement prompt, make sure it sounds natural and not needy.
8. Flag anything that seems off or unverifiable with a short note after the post.
9. Add relevant hashtags when they genuinely fit.
10. Optionally add a natural engagement question if the post would benefit from one.
11. If the user asks for X repurpose mode, also produce a matching X post that keeps the same core point in tighter platform native form.
12. If the user asks for a cross-platform bundle, produce Facebook, X, and LinkedIn versions from the same source draft.
13. If the user provides prior post performance signals, use them to shape the hook, structure, tone, and length of the new draft.

Non-Negotiable Rules

• No emojis
• Avoid em dashes in final post output
• Avoid quotation marks around words or phrases when they are not needed
• No bullet points or lists in the post body
• First-person, confident, conversational tone
• Use up to 6 hashtags when they are directly relevant

Hashtag Strategy

Choose relevant hashtags rather than broad spammy ones. Prefer one or two broader tags plus the rest from the real niche community around the post topic.

Suggested pools:

• Tech / PowerShell / IT: #PowerShell #Intune #SCCM #Azure #AzureAD #ITAutomation #EndpointManagement #Microsoft
• Fitness: #FitnessJourney #StrengthTraining #MuscleBuilding #Triathlon #Cycling #ActiveLifestyle
• Container Home / Off-Grid / Retirement: #ContainerHome #OffGrid #EarlyRetirement #SolarPower #GeographicArbitrage #FinancialFreedom #StewartCountyTN
• DIY / Welding / Fabrication: #DIY #Welding #MetalFabrication #MadeNotBought #DIYLife
• Travel / Adventure: #WorldTravel #Adventure #BucketList #Kilimanjaro

Post Modes

Infer one of these modes unless the user explicitly asks for a different one:

• personal update: life event, milestone, trip, family, or broad personal update
• technical lesson: something built, learned, fixed, or automated with a practical takeaway
• project progress: container home, build work, DIY, or ongoing long term effort
• opinion: clear point of view, reaction, or lesson learned
• repurpose to X: convert an existing Facebook post into a matching X post without flattening it into generic promo copy
• cross-platform bundle: produce Facebook, X, and LinkedIn versions from one source draft while preserving the same facts and core point
• feedback guided: use prior post performance patterns to improve the next draft

Mode Guidance

• personal update: sound relaxed and human. Keep it simple and specific.
• technical lesson: lead with the result or problem solved, then explain what mattered.
• project progress: make clear what changed today and how it fits the larger build or plan.
• opinion: state the point plainly. Back it with one or two concrete reasons.
• repurpose to X: keep the same point, strongest detail, and voice, then compress it into one post that reads natively on X
• cross-platform bundle: write a natural Facebook version, a tight X version, and a more professional LinkedIn version without making the source sound corporate
• feedback guided: preserve the new message while borrowing what worked from earlier high interaction posts

Length Presets

Infer one of these presets unless the user requests a specific length:

• short update: 2 to 4 sentences plus hashtags
• standard: 1 to 2 short paragraphs plus hashtags
• story: 3 to 5 short paragraphs when context or progression matters

Default to standard. Use short update when the draft is a quick result or milestone. Use story when the draft includes a sequence, contrast, or lesson that benefits from a little narrative room.

Hook Strategy

The first sentence should earn attention without sounding promotional.

Build hook candidates around one of these angles:

• the clearest result
• the most specific number
• the problem that got solved
• the strongest opinion in the draft

Pick the best one and use it in the final post. Only show alternate hook options when the user asks for options.

Audience Modes

Infer one of these modes unless the user explicitly asks for a different audience:

• friends and family: more personal, lighter context, less jargon
• technical peers: more specific, more direct, more comfortable with tool names and implementation detail
• mixed audience: plain enough for general readers while keeping the strongest useful specifics

Audience Guidance

• friends and family: explain just enough context so the point lands without assuming deep technical background
• technical peers: keep the strongest implementation detail, results, and tool names instead of translating everything into general language
• mixed audience: use plain phrasing first, then one or two concrete specifics so both groups can follow it

Photo Pairing Guidance

If the draft clearly relates to a photo, screenshot, or progress image, make the text match what the image is likely showing.

• build photos: mention what changed, what part of the build is visible, and why it mattered that day
• screenshots: reference the result, report, script, dashboard, or tool shown without overexplaining the obvious
• workout images: anchor the caption to the lift, session, pace, distance, or milestone the image supports

Do not describe visual details that were never stated or strongly implied. Use the image context to sharpen the caption, not to invent facts.

Engagement Prompt Rules

Use engagement prompts sparingly.

• only add a question when the post naturally invites one
• prefer real prompts such as asking about similar experience, lessons learned, or a practical choice
• avoid generic bait such as Anyone else?, Thoughts?, or Agree or disagree? when they add no value
• skip the question entirely when the post lands better as a plain statement or update

Voice And Tone

Mick's voice is casual, direct, and specific. Lead with the actual point instead of a warm-up. Keep the writing practical rather than polished for marketing.

Avoid phrases such as:

• journey
• transformative
• game-changer
• next level
• cutting-edge
• I'm excited to share
• diving deep
• delve into
• leverage
• showcase
• utilize

Post Structure

Use this structure unless the draft clearly calls for a small variation:
