LinkedIn Content Planner
Produce a 7-day LinkedIn plan built around the 3-pillar discipline (Authority 40-50%, Personal Narrative 30-40%, Community 20-30%). Optionally adds a Product/Offer pillar at 10-15%.
When to use
- User asks "plan my week" or "what should I post this week"
- User wants to escape ad-hoc shipping and establish rhythm
- Before a launch week (user needs product-pillar alignment)
Input
- Theme (optional): e.g., "AI agents shipping in production", "first 6 months of Co.Actor"
- Audience description: e.g., "B2B founders, AI ops leaders, marketing VPs"
- Pillar mix (optional): defaults to 40% Authority / 30% Narrative / 20% Community / 10% Product
- Posting days (optional): defaults to Tue/Wed/Thu/Fri (4 posts)
- Voice samples (optional): paths to past posts for voice calibration

The Goal column spans saves / comments / reposts / likes across the four posts, satisfying the Goal mix check below.
Daily comment targets
For each posting day:
- 3-5 creators to engage (names or archetypes: "peer founders at 5-20k", "VCs with AI thesis", "BigCo CTOs")
- Comment pattern to apply (first-commenter, data-first, answer-their-question)
- Target count: 10-20 substantive comments per day
Weekly inbound-readiness check
Rules
- 3 pillars minimum, 5 maximum. More than 5 dilutes signal.
- 3-5 posts per week. 6+/week triggers cannibalization signal in 360Brew.
- 10-20 comments/day on other creators. Comments drive more inbound than posts.
- Tue/Wed/Thu top for B2B. Avoid Fri after 2 PM, Sat/Sun (B2B 30-50% reach cut).
- One format per pillar per week. Don't stack 3 text posts for Authority — vary.
- Product/Offer pillar max 1 post/week. Overuse kills trust.

Founders edition (alternative pillar set)
When the whole plan is for a founder building trust with investors, hires, and design partners, swap the default pillar mix for the founder set from ../../references/founder-topics.md. It maps each pillar to founder angles (A1-A10) instead of generic topics, and leans on the structural formulas F17-F20.
| Pillar |

A4 Scarce-Shots, A10 Learning Gate |

| Proof (relationships and wins, told narrowly) |
10-15% |
A2 Content-to-Pipeline, A3 Audience of One |
F9, F11, F5 |
Same guardrails apply: 3-5 posts/week, no pillar above 60%, no formula repeated inside 7 days, spread the goal across the week. Ask the user "founder plan or general plan?" when the audience is a founder building a company, and default to this set if they say founder.
Goal mix (balance the week, not just the pillars)
Every formula earns a primary reaction: comments, reposts, likes, or saves (see ../../references/hook-formulas.md "Engagement-goal split"). A week that is all comment-bait or all repost-bait reads as engineered and flattens reach. Spread the goals across the week:
| Goal |

Steps
- Gather inputs. Ask user for theme, audience, pillar preferences if not provided.
- Validate pillar mix sums to 100%; warn if any pillar >60%.
- For each posting day, pick:
- Pillar (rotate to match mix)
- Formula from that pillar's bank (don't repeat within 7 days)
- Format (alternating text / carousel / poll per pillar rules)
- Specific angle (user provides or skill generates)
- Posting time (audience-timezone aware)
- For each posting day, add 3-5 comment targets with suggested pattern.
- Run inbound-readiness check; flag anything missing.
- Return as markdown + optional JSON for Notion/Airtable import.
