# Post to LinkedIn

Create and publish LinkedIn posts for business development and sales generation.

## Workflow

### 1. Generate Post Content
Read `vault/Business_Goals.md` to understand current business objectives.
Draft a LinkedIn post that:
- Highlights business expertise or achievements
- Provides value to the target audience
- Includes a call-to-action when appropriate
- Stays professional and on-brand
- Is 150-300 words (optimal LinkedIn length)

### 2. Create Approval Request
**All LinkedIn posts require human approval before publishing.**

Create an approval file in `vault/Pending_Approval/`:
```markdown
---
type: approval_request
request_id: "YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_linkedin_post"
action: linkedin_post
priority: medium
created: ISO-8601
expires: ISO-8601 (24 hours from creation)
status: pending
details:
  platform: "linkedin"
  content_preview: "First 100 chars of post..."
---

## How to Respond

### 3. Publish (After Approval)
Once the file appears in `vault/Approved/`:

1. Start Playwright MCP if not running:
   ```bash
   bash .claude/skills/browsing-with-playwright/scripts/start-server.sh
   ```

2. Navigate to LinkedIn:
   ```bash
   python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_navigate \
     -p '{"url": "https://www.linkedin.com/feed/"}'
   ```

3. Click "Start a post" button:
   ```bash
   python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_snapshot -p '{}'
   # Find the "Start a post" button ref, then click it
   ```

4. Type the post content:
   ```bash
   python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_type \
     -p '{"element": "Post editor", "ref": "<ref>", "text": "<post content>"}'
   ```

5. Click Post/Publish:
   ```bash
   python3 scripts/mcp-client.py call -u http://localhost:8808 -t browser_click \
     -p '{"element": "Post button", "ref": "<ref>"}'
   ```

6. Verify success by checking for confirmation

### 4. Log the Action
Write to `vault/Logs/YYYY-MM-DD.json`:
```json
{
  "timestamp": "ISO-8601",
  "action_type": "linkedin_post_published",
  "actor": "claude_code",
  "platform": "linkedin",
  "content_preview": "First 100 chars...",
  "approval_status": "approved",
