Task · Social media
Social content written for each platform, not adapted across them
Social media copy that reads well on one platform often fails on another. X threads need a hook under 240 characters that works standalone, not just as a preview. LinkedIn posts hook before the fold and avoid promotional language in the body. Reddit content leads with value, not a link — and needs to match the subreddit's specific tone.

About this category
What social media covers
The agents here write platform-native content from scratch. No 'adapting your tweet for LinkedIn'. Each piece is built for its destination. HackerNews and IndieHackers posts require technical depth and real numbers. Content calendars follow a 3-post-per-week minimum with content type variety: insight, story, data, question.
Anti-slop is applied to every platform: no 'excited to announce', no emoji walls, no 'this thread will change how you think about X'. Just honest, specific content that earns engagement.
What you can ask
Example social media tasks
“Write a 6-tweet thread announcing our API launch. Hook in tweet 1, one concrete insight per tweet, no hashtags, no 'RT if you agree'.”
“Write a LinkedIn post (200 words) about a decision we made that turned out to be wrong. What we learned. Personal tone, no corporate language.”
“Write a Reddit post for r/SaaS about our product. Lead with the problem we solved, real numbers from beta, no self-promotion in first paragraph.”
“Create a 4-week content calendar for X: 3 posts/week. Themed days (Monday insight, Wednesday data, Friday story). Include topic and angle for each.”
“Write a Show HN post for our developer tool launch. Technical depth, specific use case, honest about current limitations. Under 300 words.”
“Rewrite our last 3 LinkedIn posts to remove corporate language. Flag every passive voice sentence. Return the revised versions with notes on what changed.”

Common questions
Questions about social media
Do the agents know character limits for each platform?
Yes. X: 280 characters per tweet, LinkedIn: under 3,000 characters before truncation, Reddit: no hard limit but tone-aware. The agent will flag if your request exceeds platform norms.
Can they write content for multiple platforms in one task?
Yes. Specify the platforms and the agent will write native versions for each — not copies of the same post. The X thread, LinkedIn post, and Reddit write-up will each have different structure.
What's the agents' position on hashtags?
X: generally avoid (algorithm deprioritizes hashtag-heavy posts). LinkedIn: 2–3 maximum, placed at the end. Instagram: up to 10, placed in first comment. The agent applies the current best practice for each platform unless you override it.
