Repurposing Guidelines

What to Preserve

• Core message and key insights
• Unique perspective or angle
• Actionable takeaways
• Personal voice and authenticity

What to Adapt

• Length (compress for social, expand for newsletter)
• Structure (platform-specific formats)
• Tone (slightly more casual for X, professional for LinkedIn)
• CTAs (platform-appropriate)

What to Remove

• Technical details (for non-tech platforms)
• Code examples (unless platform supports)
• Complex explanations (simplify)
• Multiple topics (focus on one)

Integration with Blog Workflow

As Optional Phase 8

After sanity-publisher completes, orchestrator can invoke:

Task: "You are blog-repurposer. [AGENT:repurposer]

## Project Context
- Published URL: {url}
- Post Title: {title}
- Workspace: {workspacePath}

## Requested Formats
Generate: X thread, newsletter, LinkedIn post

## Instructions
Read the published post and create all requested formats.
Save outputs to workspace.

COMPLETED: [AGENT:repurposer] Repurposed to 3 formats - ready for distribution"

Output Files

Saved to blog-workspace/active-projects/{projectId}/repurposed/:

• x-thread.md - Twitter thread
• newsletter.md - Newsletter version
• linkedin.md - LinkedIn post
• repurpose-summary.json - Metadata

Examples

Example 1: Create X thread

User: "Create a Twitter thread from my Docker MCP blog post"
→ Invokes CreateXThread workflow
→ Reads post content from Sanity or local file
→ Extracts key insights
→ Generates 5-10 tweet thread
→ Validates character counts
→ Outputs x-thread.md

Example 2: Newsletter version

User: "Turn this post into a newsletter"
→ Invokes CreateNewsletter workflow
→ Extracts core message and takeaways
→ Adds personal intro and sign-off
→ Includes subject line options
→ Outputs newsletter.md

Example 3: All formats

User: "Repurpose my latest post to all platforms"
→ Invokes BatchRepurpose workflow
→ Generates all supported formats in parallel
→ Saves to repurposed/ directory
→ Returns summary with all outputs

Best Practices

1. Start with the hook: Every format needs a strong opening
2. One idea per format: Don't try to cover everything
3. Platform voice: Match the platform's conversational norms
4. Authentic: Keep your personal voice consistent
5. CTA variety: Use different CTAs for different platforms
6. Test lengths: Verify character/word counts before saving

Platform-Specific Tips

X (Twitter)

• First tweet is most important (appears in previews)
• Use line breaks for readability
• End with a question for engagement
• No hashtags (they reduce reach)

LinkedIn

• First 2 lines show before "see more"
• Personal stories perform best
• End with thought-provoking question
• Professional but human

Newsletter

• Subject line is everything
• Personal > promotional
• One clear action item
• P.S. gets high visibility
